The drones used by India in the latest attacks were identified as Israeli-made Harop MK 2 models, which are high-altitude surveillance UAVs capable of flying at up to 35,000 feet, beyond the range of most standard anti-aircraft guns.
The engine, produced by UK-based UAV Engines Ltd, was recovered intact with visible manufacturer markings. This marks the first successful interception of this drone model globally.
The latest escalation comes after the April 22 attack in Pahalgam, Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), which killed 26 people. India immediately blamed Pakistan-based elements for the attack, but provided no evidence. Islamabad has strongly rejected the accusations.
I’m always wary when an article tells you that people have been ‘martyred’ when describing casualties on one side but not the other.
They’ve usually got an agenda to push and numbers will be exaggerated and not always the truth.
it’s a religious thing, Muslims use the word “shahid”, which gets mistranslated to martyr, shahid includes any Muslim who dies in a war or a work accident.
You think the .pk website could have a bias?
Nonetheless it is confirmed by many other sources https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/pakistan-shoots-down-israeli-made-drones-launched-india
Oh I don’t doubt people were killed.
It’s just describing them as being martyred puts a bias on the article. I’m inclined to see it as a.propoganda piece.
The whole thing is bad enough as it is without stirring up religious hatred even more.
