I understand that part, USA is not going to hand over their technology to anyone, especially to Pakistan Amry. They are already afraid of all the radical elements within our army. Who to say that if they give us bunch of drones, tomorrow Subedar Hafiz Ajmal Hussain would not decide to counter attack the US forces using the same drone.

They would probably give us drone in the same way that they give the UK advanced drones. The British Royal Airforce Reaper drones operating in Afghanistan are remotely piloted by British pilots at an air base in the USA.

Pakistani drones could theoretically be operated in the same way - by Pakistani operators working from the US base, under US supervision.

The drones could take off under Pakistani control from a US-operated base in Afghanistan, ensuring tha radical elements do not gain physical posession of them, and operated in the air by Pakistani personnel, with assistance and monitoring from US personnel.
