Islamabad : Pakistan is searching for drones in the wake of making its army stronger and more efficient.
Two days ago, in the aftermath of the security forces shooting down a drone in the Kathua area of Jammu and Kashmir, there are reports of Pakistan’s efforts to buy more drones.
Pakistan Armed Forces conducted trials for the S-250 Mini UAV trial in Mangla at the 506 UAV Base Workshop. It’s been a week beginning on September 3. Right after that, between 8 and 18 September, a further series of trials were held in the 12 Infantry Division area.
These mini UAVs are mainly for surveillance purposes and can be in the air for around three hours. They have a distance of 150 km. Pakistan is also looking for the S-350 UAV, and trials have taken place in Gwadar, Muzaffarabad, and Turbat, in Balochistan. It can be in the air for more than four hours and has a distance of 280 km.
Pakistan has also begun discussions with Bogazici Savunma, a Turkish firm, on ILTER drone detection and neutralisation systems. These systems can detect drones from a distance and jam their surveillance devices.
