The Chinese firm, which reportedly manufactured the drone downed by Pakistan along the line of Control (loC), said the unmanned aircraft was not sold to any Government, reinforcing India’s stand that it was not in its armed forces’ inventory.
Chinese drone maker, DJI, announced that governments are not their direct customers, in response to an earlier report that the alleged Indian “spy drone” shot down by Pakistan was made by it, the Global Times reported.
Earlier in an embarrassment for Pakistan, Chinese official media, the ruling Communist Party of China (CPC)-run People’s Daily Online, reported that the phantom 3 drone was made in China by DJI, confirming Indian stance that it was of Chinese design.
The Pakistani army had shot down the drone along the loC on July 15 claiming it was from India.
