Pakistan says it shot down Indian drone near LoC
By Katharine Houreld
ISLAMABAD | Wed Jul 15, 2015 9:50am EDT
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."
Industry experts said the small, unarmed model was sold commercially for aerial filming and would contain no secret military technology.
