There are 3 possibilities as to what exactly could have happened -
1. The drone simply lost it's way and flew into Pakistan. As soon as the ground station in India regained
control of the drone and knew exactly where it was heading, they corrected it's flight path.
2. The drone may be trying to spy on terror camps in the area.
3. It was flown in to test the ability of Pak radars to detect it and scramble jets to intercept it.
For each of the possibilities, there are counter-arguments available -
1. Why was the drone colored green? Indian drones are usually colored in grey or brown desert camo.
2. There are satellites that can see exactly what's happening in Pak's terror camps. So a drone is not
really required in this sector for spying purposes.
3. Full-fledged manned fighters like Su-30MKI and Mirage-2000 had penetrated several miles into Pak
airspace just a few months ago, and managed to return before being intercepted by PAF fighters.
So where is the point in trying to find out if a drone can do the same? Ofcouse it can, the answer is
obvious.
