I tried searching but couldn't find much info on the subject so I'm gonna shoot my shot here:

What's the deal with Pakistan failing to defend the Brahmos fired by accident last Sept? Were the HQ-9s they purchased not located in the vicinity or what?

Was an attempt by rogue indian soldiers to start a war, (some injun officers were Court Marshalled on the down low, after an investigation) there was immediate contact down through the Directorate of Military Operations hotline to inform Pakistan).

Missile was tracked all the way, it was decided to not shoot it down as it could have caused it veer off into populated areas. The Indians informed that it had no warhead.

Another thing is that shooting it down would expose and endanger Pakistan’s air defence systems and protocols.

The most interesting thing is that India can literally tell their greatest rival that they launched a missile at them by accident, and the Pakistan will truly believe India committed such a blunder by accident.

It shows how little professionalism countries in the region expect from the Indian Military.

I was horrified by the news. The Chinese government should ask for a huge favor of the Pakistani government and put a stop to the shipment. The US/UK/Poland plan is to keep on supplying Ukraine with ever increasing amounts of weapons/mercenaries/aid to drag the war on for years and bleed Russia. The Russian state could collapse after years of being weakened by war and several rounds of conscription call ups. If a pro-Western government emerges in Moscow the aftermath, we are in serious trouble. The Quad plus Russia. I don't even want to think about such a strategic disaster but the planned Pakistani shipment to Ukraine forces us to confront worst case scenarios and intervene for our own sake. Chinese diplomacy and military contacts must communicate to Pakistani counterparts the gravity of worst case scenarios for Chinese security and get the Pakistani government to stop this.
