On Friday March 13, 2015 the representative of Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) told that Pakistan has successfully tested its very first indigenous armed drone named Burraq and laser guided missile, Barq.
The arsenal has the ability of striking their targets both moving and static with pinpoint accuracy. The drone has the ability to work in all kinds of weather.
Chief of Army Staff General Raheel Sharif attended the ceremony and witnessed the successful tests of both drone and laser guided missile. He said the arsenal will surely help Pakistan in fight against terrorism. He also commended the untiring efforts of the engineers, scientists and technicians who made this state of the art technology in Pakistan.
"Lets join hands to take Pakistan forward in respective fields", said General Raheel Sharif in his message for fellow countries.
Pakistan has already some surveillance capable drones but "Burraq" and "Shahpar" were first armed drones to be developed locally. An unarmed version of Shahpar was also exhibited at the International Defence Exhibition in Karachi on November 15, 2012.
