Drug-Laden Pakistani Drone Shot Down At Jammu Border
16 December, 2024- The BSF, or Border Security Force, was extremely vigilant. They stopped a Pakistani drone close to Jammu’s International Border (IB). The drone had over half a kilogram of drugs on board. The event took place on Saturday night. It draws attention to the continuous difficulty of cross-border smuggling. Drone activity in the area has decreased, according to officials.
They loaded illicit cargo into the quadcopter. Vigilant BSF officers picked it up. BSF officers were based at the Chinaz Border Outpost in the Arnia sector. They neutralized the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). They found it in a nearby agricultural field. The UAV had touched down next to a densely packed shipment of drugs.
“At approximately 8:10 pm on December 14, our vigilant troops thwarted a smuggling attempt”, stated a BSF spokesperson. “They stopped a UAV from Pakistan. A total of 495 grams of narcotics were found”.
DK Boora, the Inspector General of BSF Jammu, discussed a notable decrease in drone activity along the IB just one day before conducting this operation. Boora ascribed this decline to the area’s recent anti-drone system modifications and deployment.
“The integration of advanced anti-drone systems has bolstered our defenses”, he said. “This has led to a noticeable decline in incursions from the other side of the border”. Boora further underlined that the BSF does more than just deploy troops. Across the Jammu border, a strong technical surveillance network is in place. There are plans to extend these safeguards to other sections of the nation that are at risk.
Systems in the BSF’s technological arsenal may identify approaching UAVs and instantly notify troops. As shown by the event on Saturday, this permits prompt response to eliminate such risks.
Border security has won with this interception. It also acts as a sobering reminder of ongoing efforts to use airways for illegal smuggling. It is still crucial for the BSF to be able to adjust and combat such threats. It is necessary to protect the country’s boundaries.
