Pakistan’s military has confirmed it has downed 25 Israeli-made Harop drones being used by the Indian side, as cross-border hostilities between the two countries continue to escalate.
In an official statement, the military said the drones were brought down using a combination of “soft-kill” (technical disruption) and “hard-kill” (weapons-based) methods. The unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), manufactured by Israel, are known for their loitering and precision-strike capabilities.
