Islamabad, Dec. 7 (TNS): Air Chief Marshal Sohail Aman said on Thursday that if American drone tend to enter Pakistan’s airspace, it would be shot down.
In his address at the Air University, Sohail Aman said that Pakistan would shoot down an American drone if it ventured into its own airspace. However, he said that a military confrontation with the United States was not in the interest of Pakistan.
“You cannot impose the democracy of your choosing on any country,” he said. “We are making weapons of our own after not getting them from the United States,” he added.
He further said that Pakistan was making fighter jets that could function without pilots.
Air Chief Marshal Sohail Aman said that Pakistan Air Force’s professional capabilities were acknowledged in India as well.
Aman said that the attack on Kamra Air Base was the biggest and most unfortunate tragedy in the PAF’s history.
“We suffered a lot of losses in the incident but did not lose our morale. In fact, we have continued the fight against extremism with unflinching vigor and resolve since then, transforming the PAF into a much stronger force.”
Talking about the terror threat emanating from Afghanistan, the air chief was of the opinion that where dozens of countries in the world had failed, the PAF had been successful in bringing about peace.
“Even Indian defence officials attest to our successes on the battlefield,” Aman boasted.
The PAF chief also informed the gathering that in the attack on Kamra Air Base, terrorists managed to destroy one PAF SAB plane completely, and also inflicted considerable damage upon another.
