New Delhi/Islamabad: Indian and Pakistani militants have deployed advanced fighter jets, conventional missiles and artillery during decades of clashes, but for the first time in May, New Delhi and Islamabad used unmanned pilot airlines.
According to an interview with Reuters with 15 people, which interviewed with 15 people, including security officials, industry executives and analysts in both countries, the United States stopped the fighting after the ceasefire announced, but the South Asian powers, which have spent more than $ 96 billion in defense, in the defense, which has now spent more than $ 96 billion in defense. The drones are in the race for weapons.
Two of them said they expect the use of United Arab Emirates through nuclear weapons neighbors has increased because small -scale drone strikes can attack targets without endangering personnel or inciting uncontrollable rise. The Summit Shah of the Drone Federation India, which represents more than 550 companies and regularly interacts with the government, said that India plans to invest in the local industry and it can spend a maximum of $ 470 million on the United Arab Emirates over the next 12 to 24 months. Earlier, the non -report prediction, which came to India this month, approved about $ 4.6 billion in emergency military purchase funds, endorsed by two other industry executives. According to two Indian officials familiar with the matter, the Indian Army has planned to use some of these additional funds on the drone of fighting and surveillance.
Vice President of Indian UAV firm Idea Freation Idef.ns, Vishal Saxena, said that the defense purchase in India includes years of bureaucratic processes, but officials are now calling drone makers at extraordinary pace for trials and demonstrations. In the meantime, the Pakistan Air Force is pushing for more UAV as it is trying to avoid danger to its high -end aircraft, a Pakistani source, who is aware of the matter, said.
Defense Intelligence Firm Jeans’ Awesh Majumdar said that Pakistan is likely to build existing relations with China and Turkey to accelerate mutual cooperation to advance domestic drone research and production capabilities. Pakistani sources said that Islamabad is relying on cooperation between Pakistan’s National Aerospace Science and Technology Park and Turkish Defense Contractor Biker, which locally collects the III drone, Pakistani sources said, adding that a unit is developed between two to three days. Pakistan’s army refuses to answer Reuters’ questions. The Indian Ministry of Defense and the biker did not return the comments. India and Pakistan, “Kings College London’s political scientist Walter Ludog III said that” drone strikes see the way to apply military pressure immediately without widespread increase. ” He added, “The United Arab Emirates allows leaders to demonstrate solving, have visible effects and manage domestic expectations. All of these expensive aircraft or pilots are at risk.
According to two Pakistani sources, Pakistan depended on the Turkish-born III and Asygard Songar drones as well as the Shah Per-II UAV, which, according to two Pakistani sources, has collectively developed by the official global industrial and defense solutions. According to an Indian and two Pakistani sources, India sent Israeli hop, Polish warmet and domestic -developed UAV into Pakistani airspace. Some of them were also used for health attacks, which two Indian officials described as military and militant infrastructure.
Two Pakistani security sources confirmed that India has deployed a large number of Harps-a long-range looter drone developed by Israel Aerospace Industries. Such United Arab Emirates, also known as suicide drones, remain on a target before crashing and explosion on the effect. Pakistan put a deco -radar in some areas to pull into the pulls, or waited for their flight time to come to their end, so that they could fall below 3,000 feet and shoot, a third Pakistani source said. Despite the loss of many drones, the two sides are doubled. “We’re talking about cheap technology relatively cheap technology,” said Michael Kogelman, a Washington -based South Asian expert. “And while the United Arab Emirates does not have the traumatic and horrific effect of missiles and fighter jets, they can still realize the power and purpose for those who launch them.” According to Indian defense planners, a source of Indian security and Indian UAV maker NewsPase, Sameer Joshi, to deepen his research and development on such drones, an Indian security source and Sameer Joshi are likely to increase domestic development for domestic development. Joshi said, “Avoiding their abilities, avoiding detection and precision strike ability has identified a change towards a high value, low -cost war with a widely -generated drone,” said Joshi, whose firm has provided the Indian Army. Saxena said, and firms like Idea Forge, who have provided more than 2,000 UAV to Indian security forces, are also investing in expanding their drone capacity to become less threat to electronic war. Another weakness that is difficult to resolve is, the Indian drone program relys on China’s hard -relying components, a Pakistani military partner, four Indian drone makers and officials said. The Shah of the drone federation India said that India depends on the United Arab Emirates on magnets and lithiums made from China. “Supply chain is also a problem,” said Saxena of the IdeaForge over the possibility of shutting down the ingredients in some conditions in Beijing. For example, according to the Center for Strategic and International Studies Think Tank, Chinese sanctions on the sale of drones and ingredients to Ukraine have weakened the ability to produce Kiev’s critical combat drone. Beijing has always implemented export control over dual use, according to domestic laws and regulations, in response to Reuters’ questions, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman said. “The diversity of the supply chain is a medium -sized long -term problem,” Shah said. “You can’t solve it in a short period of time.”
