ISLAMABAD, May 09 Pakistan military has shot down 48 more Indian
drones of Israeli origin at separate locations, raising the total number
of neutralised drones to 77.
On Thursday, Pakistani armed forces had shot down 29 Indian drones and
since last night to Friday morning another 48 Indian unmanned aerial
vehicles (UAVs) were taken down.
The drones were shot down in different cities including Vehari,
Pakpattan, and Okara.
Director General Inter-Services Public Relations (DG ISPR) Lt-General
Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry said all drones were being tracked through radar
systems. “Whenever an enemy drone enters our airspace, it is
continuously monitored,” he said, adding that Pakistan’s air defence is
capable of detecting even small aerial threats.
He said, strict operational procedures are followed to safely eliminate
drones, especially near civilian areas and commercial air routes.
Defence analysts praised the swift action, calling it further proof of
Pakistan’s strong defence readiness. “The precise tracking and
neutralisation of these drones reflects the advanced capability of
Pakistan’s surveillance and air defence systems,” said military experts.
On Thursday, armed forces had shot down 29 Israeli-manufactured Harop
drones using both soft-kill (technical) and hard-kill (weapons-based)
systems, following a series of provocative attacks by India.
The escalation followed India’s cowardly assault on May 6/7, which
resulted in the destruction of five advanced aircraft, drones, multiple
military posts, and reported casualties among Indian troops.
In a state of panic and confusion, India has resorted to deploying
Israeli-made Harop drones for attacks on Pakistani territory.
These unprovoked attacks are a clear reflection of India’s desperation
and frustration, as it continues to suffer significant losses along the
Line of Control (LoC).
Pakistan’s armed forces are responding with full force, thwarting all
hostile designs and delivering a decisive response to the enemy’s
aggression
