Along with that, Pakistan has also deployed Chinese-made Rainbow CH-4 and CH-5 drones to undertake surveillance and potential strikes along the Line of Control (LoC).

The development has come after the end of the simmering tensions between India and Pakistan, which had led the region on a brink of war. The situation arose with Indian planes crossing the LoC and dropping a payload in the Pakistani territory.
