Sat May 10 01:00:00 UTC 2025: ## Pakistan Deploys Turkish-Made Drones in Response to Indian Air Strikes; Gold Prices Plummet

**ISLAMABAD, PAKISTAN** – Pakistan is employing advanced Turkish-made Anka-S Songar armed drones in response to recent Indian air strikes, according to multiple sources. These attacks, which targeted 36 military and civilian locations within India, occurred Thursday night. While Indian defense officials claim to have successfully intercepted these drones, concerns remain regarding the drones’ capabilities.

The Songar drone, manufactured by the Ankara-based company ASISGUARD, is capable of autonomous flight, carrying out attacks, and returning to base. It’s equipped with an automatic machine gun and can launch small missiles, making it a significant threat. The drones boast real-time surveillance capabilities, transmitting video and images directly to ground stations, regardless of time of day or weather conditions. Their ability to operate autonomously and return to base even with communication loss or low battery makes them a challenging adversary. Furthermore, Songar drones can coordinate attacks in swarms, overwhelming defensive systems.

Meanwhile, gold prices in Pakistan have plummeted significantly today, May 9th, following four consecutive days of sharp increases. The drop follows the Indian air strikes and comes amidst heightened tensions between the two nations. The Pakistan Super League (PSL) is also facing challenges due to the ongoing conflict.
