The embarrassing blunder reveals Pakistan’s continued reliance on fabricated war narratives against India
Introduction
In a stunning revelation that has gone viral across social media, Pakistan’s newly appointed Field Marshal Asim Munir has been caught red-handed presenting a fake war photograph to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif during a high-profile military dinner. The image, claimed to depict Pakistan’s Operation Bunyan-un-Marsoos against India, was quickly exposed as being from a 2019 Chinese military exercise, sparking widespread ridicule and fresh questions about Pakistan’s military credibility.
The Controversial Dinner Event
The incident occurred during a May 24 dinner hosted by Field Marshal Munir to celebrate the Pakistani armed forces’ “steadfast commitment” and “indomitable spirit.” Attendees included:
- President Asif Ali Zardari
- Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif
- Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar
- Senate Chairman Yusuf Raza Gilani
- Pakistan’s entire military top brass
The Framed “War Trophy”:
A prominently displayed photograph allegedly showing Pakistan’s military might during Operation Bunyan-un-Marsoos – Islamabad’s response to India’s Operation Sindoor.
How the Hoax Was Uncovered
Within hours of the dinner, sharp-eyed social media users conducted a Google Reverse Image Search, revealing:
🔍 The Truth:
- The image actually showed China’s PHL-03 long-range rocket launchers
- Originally published by China’s Defense Ministry in 2019
- Featured in reports about the People’s Liberation Army drills
“Pakistani leadership celebrating with fake Chinese drill photos as war trophies against India. This is next-level embarrassment!”

Operation Bunyan vs Reality
| Pakistan’s Claim | Actual Fact |
|---|---|
| “Historic military victory against India” | Image stolen from unrelated Chinese exercise |
| “Proof of successful cross-border strikes” | Indian forces intercepted all attacks |
| “Authentic combat footage” | No genuine visuals exist of claimed operation |
Social Media Backlash
The revelation sparked instant ridicule:
🇮🇳 From India:
“First video game footage, now Chinese drills – what’s next? Hollywood movie clips as ‘war evidence’?”
— Major Gaurav Arya (Retd.)
🇵🇰 From Pakistan:
“Our leaders can’t even photoshop properly. At least crop out the Chinese flags next time!”
— Pakistani Political Commentator

Pakistan’s History of Fake War Claims
This isn’t Islamabad’s first propaganda fail:
- February 2025: Used Call of Duty gameplay footage as “proof” of strikes
- March 2025: Shared Yemen explosion videos as “Delhi airport attack”
- April 2025: Claimed to destroy Bathinda Airfield – proven operational by PIB
Military Experts Weigh In
Lt. Gen. H.S. Panag (Retd.):
“This reflects systemic issues in Pakistan’s military narrative-building. When you lose real battles, you invent fake victories.”
Defense Journalist Snehesh Philip:
“The Chinese drill photo gaffe confirms what we’ve long known – Pakistan’s war stories rely more on imagination than reality.”
India’s Fact-Checking Response
🇮🇳 The PIB Fact Check team has debunked 47+ Pakistani fake news items since Operation Sindoor, including:
- Fake “airstrike” videos
- Fabricated infrastructure damage claims
- Doctored satellite images
Why This Matters Geopolitically
- Credibility Crisis: Undermines Pakistan’s military legitimacy
- China-Pakistan Axis: Reveals uncomfortable dependency
- Information Warfare: Highlights India’s superior transparency
Conclusion: A Pattern of Deception
From video game clips to stolen Chinese drill photos, Pakistan’s military establishment continues its dangerous trend of wartime misinformation. As digital verification tools become more accessible, such crude propaganda attempts only damage Islamabad’s global standing while reinforcing India’s position as the responsible regional power.
