India vs Pakistan War: India Slams Global Times’ Fake News on S-400 System Destruction
In a swift response to misleading claims, Indian defense officials have categorically denied reports by China’s Global Times that Pakistan’s JF-17 Thunder jets destroyed India’s advanced S-400 air defense system in Adampur, Punjab.
The false claim, which originated from Pakistani state-run PTV News and was later amplified by China’s Global Times and Xinhua News Agency, has been labeled as baseless propaganda by Indian defense sources.
False Claims Spread by Global Times
Global Times, a Chinese state-run publication, along with Xinhua News Agency, reported that:
- S-400 System Destroyed: Pakistan’s JF-17 Thunder jets, armed with hypersonic missiles, destroyed India’s S-400 air defense system in Punjab.
- High-Value Target: The reports claimed the S-400 system, worth approximately $1.5 billion, was completely neutralized.
- India’s Silence Alleged: The reports misleadingly suggested that India had not responded to the incident.
Indian Defense Forces Respond: “Fake News and Propaganda”
Indian defense officials have strongly refuted these claims, categorically stating that they are false and part of a misinformation campaign.
- S-400 System Status: All S-400 air defense systems deployed in India are fully operational and remain intact.
- Misinformation Campaign: The false reports are seen as a deliberate attempt by Pakistani and Chinese media to spread panic and mislead the public.
- Strong Rebuttal: “These reports are completely baseless and part of a propaganda effort to damage India’s image,” Indian defense sources stated.

- Strategic Deployment: India has deployed the S-400 systems at key locations for optimal defense coverage.
