Pakistan successfully conducted a final test flight of its indigenously developed Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) “Uqaab”. The Chief of Army Staff, General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, senior Armed Forces Officers and Scientists witnessed the test. The flight data collected indicates that all design parameters have been successfully validated. The performance of the UAV “Uqaab” can be compared to any of modern state of the art UAV in its category. Today’s successful flight test was preceded by a series of trials in 2007. The successful flight test is a reflection of Pakistan’s technical prowess in the field of UAV technology and a tribute to the dedication and professionalism of the scientists and engineers. It also reflects Pakistan’s continued efforts for self reliance in the field of defence. The COAS congratulated the scientists and engineers on their outstanding success and said that they had shown their versatile capabilities by delivering on a new and complex technology of UAVs. This would go a long way in strengthening Pakistan’s defence. Share your thoughts by posting a Talk-Back:
