India exposes strategic military collaboration between Pakistan and Turkey
Turkish drones used in targeted attacks against Indian positions
Over 300 drones deployed in recent border operation
Forensic investigation reveals advanced drone technology involvement
It is learnt that Turkey not only helped Pakistan in its war against India with over 350 drones, but also with operators.
"Turkish advisors helped Pakistani Army officials coordinate drone attacks in India after Operation Sindoor," sources said.
The defence sources have pointed out that Pakistan used Bayraktar TB2 and YIHA drones against India.
"The drones are believed to be used for target identification and possibly for kamikaze attacks, especially to threaten advanced Indian positions or supply convoys," sources said.
Over the years, Pakistan has developed a close military-to-military relationship with Turkey.
Defence experts believe that the nexus between Pakistan and Turkey has grown at an alarming rate in recent years, adding that the Turkish government has not only supplied critical military equipment but also conducted training for the Pakistani military.
Reportedly, the Pakistani Army used approximately 300-400 drones to target Indian military infrastructure along the northern and western borders on the intervening nights of May 7 and 8.
"A forensic investigation is underway into the drone debris. Initial reports suggest that these are Turkish Asisguard Songar drones," Colonel Sofiya Qureshi said at a press conference on Operation Sindoor.
