[Baghial]

The head of the Pakistan Air Force has has ordered his force to shoot down drones that enter the country's airspace including ones belonging to the U.S.

The orders from Chief Sohail Aman are a complete turnaround from the air force's previous position in which it condemned drone strikes on its soil but had never threatened to shoot the unmanned aerial vehicles down.




The announcement was made public about two weeks after a US drone strike targeted a militant compound in Pakistan's tribal region near the Afghan border, killing three militants, The Times Of India reported.

'We will not allow anyone to violate our airspace.

'I have ordered PAF to shoot down drones, including those of the US, if they enter our airspace, violating the country's sovereignty and territorial integrity,' Air Chief Marshal Sohail Aman told an audience in Islamabad.

PARACHINAR, Pakistan (Reuters) - A suspected U.S. drone attack on a house in northwestern Pakistan killed two militants from the Afghan Taliban-allied Haqqani network, two Pakistani security officials said on Wednesday.

Two missiles hit a house and killed militants Ahsan Khorai and Nasir Mehmood in the village of Dapa Mamozai in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), according to a police officer and an intelligence official.

“Two militants from Haqqani network were killed in the drone attack,” the intelligence official based in the area said.


There has been a slight uptick in U.S. drone strikes inside Pakistan in the mountainous border regions bordering Afghanistan since U.S. President Donald Trump took office in January 2017, though they are a long way off their peak in 2010.

Earlier this month, one man was severely wounded in a suspected drone attack in FATA, while another Haqqani militant was killed on Dec. 26 in a suspected U.S. drone strike inside Pakistan

Does it matter whether a bomb or missile is launched from Pakistan or Afghanistan as long as it is hitting Pakistani area?

 

[Imran Khan]

that was his high morale talk only for few hours

Dual nationals are dangerous in these situations, whether they are directly sitting on high ranks or are relatives of someone sitting in high ranks. To protect the interests of these dual nationals, the interests of whole the nations are placed at gamble table, or to be more correct, on auction.

Actually it does....
I don't want any bombs landing in Pakistan. And would like the drone shot unless it's a coordinated attack sanctioned by Pakistan.
As for the air chief. He specifically said a done enters an inch and we will shoot it down. But he didn't say if it's in Afghanistan and shot at a target in Pakistan they would shoot it down. I don't agree with this but fact is fact. I would rather they shot the bastard down evenin Afghanistan

I don't think PAF has got permission from the government to shoot
down drones. PMLN and PPP will never let Pakistan stand on their feet,
they have no self respect. They will sell themselves for a few dollars or
even worse turn into Mujibur Rehman and help outsiders to break the country.
