The Chinese firm, which reportedly manufactured the drone downed by Pakistan along the Line of Control (LoC), said the unmanned aircraft was not sold to any government.

BEIJING: The Chinese firm, which reportedly manufactured the drone downed by Pakistan along the Line of Control (LoC), said the unmanned aircraft was not sold to any government, reinforcing India's stand that it was not in its armed forces' inventory.

Chinese drone maker, DJI, announced that governments are not their direct customers, in response to an earlier report that the alleged Indian "spy drone" shot down by Pakistan was made by it, the Global Times reported.

Earlier in an embarrassment for Pakistan, Chinese official media, the ruling Communist Party of China (CPC)-run People's Daily Online, reported that the phantom 3 drone was made in China by DJI, confirming Indian stance that it was of Chinese design.


The Pakistani army had shot down the drone along the LoC on July 15 claiming it was from India.

Foreign secretary S Jaishankar who refuted Pakistan's claims of shooting down an Indian drone also said that it was not in the inventory of the Indian defence forces.

Pakistan had summoned Indian High Commissioner to Islamabad TCA Raghavan to lodge a protest over it.

The confirmation by the Chinese official media has put Pakistan in a fix considering the close strategic relations between Islamabad and Beijing.

The Global Times report also quoted DJI as saying that it is not difficult to purchase their drones through its website or through any vendors.

DJI is a Chinese technology company founded in 2006 by Frank Wang and headquartered in Shenzhen, Guangdong.

It too long saga for a $1000 dollar drone already.

I guess it is pretty clear now that the shot drone belonged to some individual and perhaps the whole issue was a case of making a mountain out of a molehill.

So this is what happened
BSF hired a wealthy 13 year old kid from Mumbai.That kid bought this Chinese drone and supplied to BSF.
Then BSF dug a tunnel near the border so that it can send a drone with only 300m range across the border...That too without getting noticed.
But brave Pakistani soldiers wielding mighty G3 ,shot it down
