Pakistan's Shahpar UAV
Aerial drone Shahpar (in photo), designed and built by Pakistan military-run Global Industrial Defense Solutions (GIDS), can carry about a 50-kilogram payload and has around eight hours endurance. Burraq, based on Chinese CH-3 specs, would carry around a 100-kilogram payload and 12 hours endurance. The given payload of the CH-3 is a pair of AR-1 missiles, or a pair of FT-5 small diameter bombs. The ability of Pakistan to field an armed UAV has great benefits when faced with time-sensitive targets. http://www.riazhaq.com/2009/03/pakistans-growing-defense-industry.html
