Chinese firm had made drone shot down in Pakistan

In a rare move, Chinese Communist Party’s organ, the People’s Daily, has revealed that a Chinese drone may have been flying over sensitive areas of Pakistan including the Line of Control between India and Pakistan recently. In fact, an earlier intelligence report, submitted to security agencies a few days ago, had also categorically said that “such drones fitted with high resolution cameras have been sighted close to the border over the last couple of weeks”.

The DJI is a Chinese technology company founded in 2006 by Frank Wang and headquartered in Shenzhen, Guangdong. It manufactures commercial and recreational unmanned aerial vehicles for aerial photography and videography.

Indian foreign secretary S.Jaishankar responded saying it was a Chinese drone, and India had nothing to do with it. “No drone or UAV crash of the Indian Army has taken place”.

The drone in question was shot not far from India’s Jammu and Kashmir state, which is a subject of territorial dispute with Pakistan. However, the Indian Army had denied Pakistan Army’s claim that it had shot down an Indian “spy” drone.

Sources claimed that New Delhi has been aware of the use of drones by Pakistan-based terror groups and thus the recent misadventure of Pakistani agencies has not come as a huge surprise.

“It appears to be of Chinese design, and is commercially available off-the-shelf”.
