Indian Army denies reports of Pak shooting down its 'spy drone'

that UAV was brought from china for your police..
Which police department?

The articles referring to the purchase of the DJI copter drones refer to the Punjab and Rawalpindi police. Given the limited range of these drones and the location of the crash, it would be unusual if it was a police drone that got shot down.

that dawn news paper reports says the panjab police have that UAV.
BTW, A photo supplied by the Pakistani military appeared to show a Chinese-made DJI Phantom 3, said Huw Williams, the Unmanned Systems Editor at IHS Jane's International Defence Review.

Pakistan says it shot down Indian drone near LoC
ISLAMABAD | BY KATHARINE HOURELD

An Indian army soldier stands guard while patrolling near the Line of Control, a ceasefire line dividing Kashmir between India and Pakistan, in Poonch district August 7, 2013.

The Pakistani military said it shot down an Indian spy drone on Wednesday in Kashmir, in a new sign of the decades-old tension between the nuclear-armed rivals in the disputed region.

Industry experts said the small, unarmed model was sold commercially for aerial filming and would contain no secret military technology.

"An Indian spy drone was shot down by Pakistani troops which intruded into Pakistan along (the Line of Control) near Bhimber today. The spy drone is used for aerial photography," a statement from the Pakistani military said.

The Indian military was not available for comment.

Bhimber is in Kashmir, the Himalayan region claimed by both Pakistan and India. The two sides regularly exchange fire along Kashmir's heavily-militarised Line of Control.

A photo supplied by the Pakistani military appeared to show a Chinese-made DJI Phantom 3, said Huw Williams, the Unmanned Systems Editor at IHS Jane's International Defence Review.

"Due to its limited operating range - about two km - if the Indian military is using the system it would most likely be for close reconnaissance or security work," Williams said.

"Our Middle East editor believes that Islamic State are using similar systems."


Pakistan is plagued by a Taliban insurgency that has killed hundreds of thousands of civilians. It has fought three wars against India since the two nations became separate in 1947.

Since 2004, the United States has conducted 419 drone strikes in Pakistan, targeting suspected members of the Taliban and al Qaeda. The missiles have killed thousands of suspected militants and hundreds of civilians, according to media reports collated by the Bureau of Investigative Journalism.

Pakistan often protests that the U.S. strikes are an infringement of its national sovereignty and has been pushing for its own lethal drones.

In March, the Pakistani military announced it had test-fired its own drone equipped with a laser-guided missile. Analysts said the video showed a drone similar to models produced by Pakistan's close ally China.

Not even three - it has a two kilometer range only.


Too much of mocking by the writer...why bring in the American drones and the Chinese ones into the topic? :astagh:
 
maximum altitude at which that UAV can fly is 60m...leave sniper, using a mp-5 is overkill for that UAV.

Yaar sorry I didn't know that. So sf short gun?
Amazon can take some lessons here ya know?

Right, so it doesn't make sense that the Punjab police would be flying their drones around the area this drone crashed/was shot down in.

I don't know how easily this model can be purchased, but it is also possible this was a privately owned drone (resident on either side of the LoC) that was being flown without authorization in the area.

LoL. This is the policy of pakistani army to make pakistani people fake proud .
In comparison to arresting and interrogating pigeons ala the Indians huh?

60m is what the manufacturer clams... so in real condition with high wind(such as in mountain areas) that UAV can't fly more than 30m.
so a pistol will be enough. ;)

your police have that UAV so there are more chance for ranger to get a hand on it. in india particularly in Kashmir. the people cannot fly UAVs. and indian forces will never brought any Chinese UAV. so in all probability it is pakistani operated UAV.
 
Bhimbar is atleast a 50 Km from the LOC. The Chinese Drone "shot down" has a range of 2 KM. So according to the ISPR Indians flew and controlled this drone from inside the Pakistani territory :lol: , gross incompetence on the part of your Army if you are letting Indians to ingress in your territory and then fly the drone from there ! Either that or the ISPR folks forgot to do their homework. I ll go with the later. :disagree:


And the article said that drone can only operate to 2 kms
Wow What a logic of pakistani leadership.:omghaha::omghaha:
 
No DSI in the drone..? No wonder the armyman got angry and shot down his own drone..
