A surveillance drone of the Pakistan Army crashed near Mianwali on Saturday.



According to official sources, the surveillance drone took off from Mianwali Airbase and crashed near Chakwal. They said that the plane crashed in open fields due to some technical fault and caused no harm to life or property in the area.

This incident took place just a day after when two plane collided and destroyed near Sakai resulted killing of four pilots while at least a half dozen trainer aircrafts of Pakistan Air Force were crashed in last six months.

The sources said debris of the plan has been removed, while investigation is underway.

Bad qualities in some PAF inventories.

Civilian planes,
Mirage planes,
Mushak planes,
F-7P planes,
JF-17 planes,
Bhoja Airlines planes,
now unmanned drones planes,

More threat bombing in planes alert. PAF gone wild wrong.

That is a mix & match list that is not entirely the responsibility of the PAF:

The civilian airline crashes have nothing to do with the PAF

The UAV does not fall into the same bracket as traditional flying

The JF-17 crash may have been due to a bird strike according to some of the information out there (and therefore not related to a maintenance issue or pilot error)

The Mushak crash was a very unfortunate incident involving two trainee pilots, possibly with lax supervision by the trainers

...


You can't just lump everything into one ....

+The mid-air collision of trainers recently.

It's not something unheard of.

rediff.com: Two naval aircraft collide in Goa; 15 killed

 

[BATMAN]

Its not all PAF. but they are all air accidents!

Some thing is not right in all this... incl. failure of PAF radars, avalench, floods etc.

Some sort of high-tech experiments going around.

F22 crashed a few months ago - so going by your theory, it is a bad quality aircraft. air-crashes take place almost on a daily basis around the world. all types suffer due to pilot error or technical malfunction. this is reality. you cannot have 100% serviceability. if an airforce achieves 80% serviceability, its doing a good job.

Pakistan needs to learn from these accidents and quality of maintenance needs to be scrutinized. The accident rate is rising in the aviation arena and these needs immediate attention.
