Pakistan Unveils Domestically Produced Drones
Amid protests against American drone strikes
KABUL — Pakistan's military unveiled two domestically produced drones Monday, even as the country is facing growing protests over U.S. drone strikes on Pakistani soil.
After years of preparation, the Strategically Unmanned Aerial Vehicles were formally announced by Gen. Ashfaq Kayani, chief of Pakistan's military. The drones, called Burraq and Shahpar, will not be armed and are to be used only for surveillance, military officials said.
