In an interview with ANI, the activist claimed that the areas populated by Pashtuns in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa are being utilised as a "laboratory" by the Pakistani military to test various weapons, notably drones.
Amid recent successes in bringing down Pakistan Army drones on the western front, the Indian Army is looking to acquire nine more laser based anti drone systems under the emergency procurement powers.
According to defence sources, the drone -- of Chinese origin -- was brought down by Army Air Defence units deployed in the 16 Corps area, located south of the Pir Panjal ranges in the Jammu region.
