Pakistan today opposed supply of armed drones by the US to India, warning that it could increase the chances of "military misadventures" leading to a conflict in the region. The remarks by the Foreign Office spokesman came days after a senior Trump administration official said that the US was "considering" India's request for armed drones for its air force's modernisation drive.
"Use of armed drones can lower the threshold for conflict, since it can encourage military misadventures, especially in the backdrop of irresponsible discourse about limited military operations below the strategic threshold," Foreign Office spokesman Nafees Zakaria told reporters.
