In the past five years, Pakistan has deployed a variety of unmanned aerial vehicles in its border regions of Afghanistan and India. One of the most effective is the 6-year before purchased from Italy "Falcon" type UAV. 4 years ago, Pakistan completed the assessment of the "Falcon" type UAV, and fitted out in at least four of the UAV. "Falcon" type UAV, weighing 420 kg, 68.2 kg payload. Its service ceiling of 5000 meters, but usually in the low-altitude (2000) flight. The UAV life time up to 12 hours, but typically perform tasks for 6-8 hours. The Falcon UAV top speed of 210 km, but usually only 150 kilometers an hour flight. It can fly to the ground station 200 kilometers away from its place, and be able to take off and land from the airport runway, or catapult off using a parachute landing.
In the past decade or so, Pakistan is also fitted out in several Chinese UAV. First, Pakistan imports from China, the ASN-105 reconnaissance UAV. The UAV weighs 140 kg, 40 kg payload, the life time of only two hours. This is the design of the 1980s, has been ASN-206/207 replaced. ASN-206/207 UAV weighs 222 kg payload of 50 kg. 207-type maximum life time of 8 hours, but generally only 4 hours of continuous flight. The maximum control distance of 150 km and a cruising speed of about 180 kilometers.
Pakistan is also developing its own unmanned aerial vehicles, four years ago, the the country tested Uqaab UAV. The design and commercial UAV particularly similar. Commercial UAV that less than 250 kg of small UAVs, Governments and enterprises since the 1990s, began extensive application of the UAV. Uqaab UAV is also similar to the U.S. Army RQ-7B "Shadow" (Shadow) 200 UAV system. Recently, a Pakistani company produced 470 kg Shahpar UAV UAV every time can fly continuously for seven hours, and the CH-3 is extremely similar.
Pakistan has asked the "Predator" unmanned aerial vehicles imported from the United States, but was rejected in Washington, because the United States worried that China will "dissect" the UAV opportunities in the United States, then grasp the many production secrets. For decades, Pakistan and China have been close allies. No secrets at all between the two countries. However, European countries, such as Italy and Germany, are willing to export to Pakistan unarmed UAV. Zhiyuan northerly
