According to an intelligence source, these drones are highly efficient, capable of carrying payloads of up to 70kg, including a human terrorist and weapons. These drones can cover distances of up to 60km round trip with ease.

Officials believe that these advanced drones could not have been obtained by terror groups without the support of Pakistan's intelligence agency, the ISI, allowing terrorists to carry out major attacks and return swiftly.
The emergence of this video coincides with an ongoing operation in Anantnag district of south Kashmir aimed at neutralizing Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists involved in an encounter that resulted in the deaths of four security personnel.
The slain security forces personnel included Colonel Manpreet Singh, the commanding officer of the 19 Rashtriya Rifles, Major Ashish Dhonchak, Deputy Superintendent of Police Humayun Bhat, and a soldier. In Jammu, anti-Pakistan protests were held in various parts of the city in response to the incident.
