Pakistan Deploys Turkish Bayraktar TB2 Drones Near India Border for Surveillance
Pakistan has increased its use of Turkish-made Bayraktar TB2 drones near the India border, particularly along the Line of Control. These medium-altitude, long-endurance UAVs provide real-time surveillance with electro-optical and infrared sensors and can carry precision-guided munitions. Indian intelligence sources express concern that sustained drone flights could enable Pakistan to gather detailed information on Indian troop movements and surveillance setups. The Murid airbase in Chakwal serves as a key hub for these drone operations, which have gained attention following recent India-Pakistan tensions and military confrontations.
