Drones used by India and downed in Pakistan were Israeli-made Harop MK 2 (tribune.com.pk)

The drones used by India in the latest attacks were identified as Israeli-made Harop MK 2 models, which are high-altitude surveillance UAVs capable of flying at up to 35,000 feet, beyond the range of most standard anti-aircraft guns.

The engine, produced by UK-based UAV Engines Ltd, was recovered intact with visible manufacturer markings. This marks the first successful interception of this drone model globally.

The latest escalation comes after the April 22 attack in Pahalgam, Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), which killed 26 people. India immediately blamed Pakistan-based elements for the attack, but provided no evidence. Islamabad has strongly rejected the accusations.

Nah, we say critical support. After all, this is the U.S-backed military coup gov't that overthrew pro-multipolar prime minister Imran Khan. It just so happened to face off another western ally.

What was it said? 2 countries with a McDonald's in each won't fight each other?

I agree that support for the U.S. corruption aspects would be nonsense, but making a mockery of Israeli and NATO weapons while flexing on Modi gets my full support. Also, I'm not prepared to condemn an entire country because corrupt politicians did some backstabbing in an effort to avoid the U.S. bringing mass violence to their doorstep, as tends to happen (and seems to have happened regardless of their ill-considered efforts at placation).

I don't condemn the Pakistanis really at all. Destroying Fr*nc**s jets and Isr**l* drones is def hella based, on its own.
