Pakistani radars 'constantly' monitoring Indian drones, says DG ISPR

RAWALPINDI: Pakistan’s air defense systems are continuously monitoring Indian drones, with the capability to track even small unmanned aerial vehicles, ARY News reported quoting ISPR.

Director General Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry stated that all drones entering Pakistani airspace are constantly observed on radar, and operational protocols are in place to neutralize them, in civilian areas or near commercial flight paths.

Security sources said that six Indian drones, identified as Israeli-made Harop, were destroyed in Vehari, Pakpattan, and Okara. One drone was shot down in Vehari, one in Pakpattan, and four in Okara, taking the total number of destroyed drone to 35.

The successful tracking and destruction of Harop drones underscore the strength of Pakistan’s military infrastructure, which continues to thwart hostile Indian incursions effectively.
