Is Pakistan secretly testing a new Chinese killer drone?

June 23, 2016 01:42

After the June 18 crash of an unidentified unmanned aerial vehicle near the city of Mianwali in Punjab province, some evidence has emerged that the UAV is not one regularly flown by the Pakistan Air Force. That has led to speculations that the Pakistani military is mulling the purchase of additional Chinese combat drones.

According to IHS Janes Defense Weekly, a Pakistani defense official speaking on the condition of anonymity said that the unmanned aircraft was on an experimental flight. This could indicate that the Pakistani military was evaluating a new UAV type for service in the PAF.
