China-made drone shot down by Border Security Force near India-Pak border in Punjab
The Border Security Force (BSF) has shot down a China-made drone near the India-Pakistan border in Punjab’s Gurdaspur district, the force said on Saturday.
The incident took place in the night hours of February 9 when BSF troops sighted the drone near the border at Rossey village in Gurdaspur district. The troops, with a quick reflex, fired and shot the drone down.
The damaged drone lost control and fell on a farming field. The likely dropping area was immediately cordoned off by the BSF troops, the force said.
BSF troops carried out an extensive search and successfully recovered the drone in partially broken condition at 10:18 pm. The recovered drone was a quadcopter (Model – DJI Mavic 3 Classic, made in China), the BSF said.
“Keen observation and quick response with exemplary shooting skills of the BSF troops made yet another dent in the malicious plans of adversaries to create mayhem in the border area through drone intrusion,” the force further said.
