China sells war equipment highly-sensitive tracking system to Pak

Beijing, March 22: China has sold a highly-sensitive tracking system to Pakistan, which could boost Islamabads ability to develop multi-war heads.

According to the South China Morning Post, an influential Chinese think tank says that China is the first country to have given such sensitive equipment to Pakistan.

China is the biggest arms supplier to Pakistan, India's arch-rival.

Zheng Mengwei, a researcher with the China Academy of Sciences (CAS) Institute of Optics and Electronics in Chengdu, Sichuan province, told the Post that Pakistan's military recently deployed the Chinese-made system "at a firing range" for use in testing and developing its new missiles.

The statement from the CAS said the Chinese team enjoyed VIP treatment during the nearly three months it spent in Pakistan assembling and calibrating the tracking system and training technical staff on how to use it.

"The system's performance surpassed the user's expectations," it said.
