Indian spy plane violates airspace

The Newspaper's Correspondent Published August 4, 2013

SIALKOT: An Indian spy plane violated Pakistani airspace in Chaprar sector on Saturday afternoon.

Chenab Rangers spokesman Maj Asad Mahmood told reporters that the Indian spy plane (RPV) entered Pakistani territory from Butti 865 at 1.55pm and went back at 1.57pm from the BSF Post in Jammu Sector after violating Pakistani airspace for about one and a half minutes. He said the green plane flew at approximately 3,500feet and entered up to 350 metres into Pakistan’s airspace.

Pakistan expressed concern over the violation of its airspace and lodged a strong protest, seeking a detailed explanation from India, officials here said.

Please stop crying, seems negligence on Pakistan's army side. equiped Pakistan Army with anti aircraft missiles and shoot one down regardless of spy or fighter plan. Pakistan don't wanna learn from its mistakes.

The indian UAV Rustom has a speed of 140KM per hour and if the UAV remain in Pak space for 90 seconds (to & fro) it will cover a distance of approx. 1.75 kilometer deep and not 350 meter as reported. The time spent in the Pak air space appears to be wrong or the distance penetrated is incorrect. . It may be a mistake on the part of the UAV operation which must be avoided in future.. ( also the UAV normally does not fly at a low height of 3500 ft.. The preferred height for flying is more than 9000 ft)
