China is supplying Israeli designed Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) to Pakistan, a top Israeli defence expert has said.
In an interview to Izvestia daily, Israeli Defence expert Zvi Goldfarb said Israel has supplied $300 million worth of UAVs to India which were widely used by New Delhi in its face-off with Islamabad.
However, China, which bought the drone technology from Israel, is supplying them to Pakistan for its use against India, Goldfarb said.
According to him, Israeli drones were the best in the world and have been used in almost all the recent military conflicts across the globe, including the Indo-Pak face-off when both sides widely used them.

Basically its American technology Israel is just the channel...
The news is originated in Moscow, Russia. Indian newspaper is reporting it. China, Pakistan and Israel are involved. I think it must be gloabal coalition against terrorism.

yaar rajput i agree, but some champion will stand up and say ..butthe money u spend to buy this is goign to the israeli govt who will then use it to subjugate palestinians etc etc, so lets boycott them.
its kinda funny because if that really is somepne's argument ( and arabs always jump up and down about stuff like that) one can make a counter argument that they should not buy Indian products or have Indian workers etc etc.
its BS man, let ppl and govt buy what they want to fulfill their needs. This is just israeli technology, but i would say even if soemthign needs to be purchased froman Israeli company, do it.

Fraudz, then I’ll ask that champion if he is living in the US, if so, he should boycott paying taxing as his money is also going to the Israeli govt

Bingo!
I commend you, CM, Abdali for being enlightened enough to see the reality.
I’ll give you an example of Pakistanis in the US: When things are going good…it’s Israelis this, Jews that…but once they run into legal/medical trouble, the very same people are looking for “Jewish” lawyers/docs.
well, if Pakistan buys Israeli technology, my personal opinion is that this is plain WRONG considering all the trouble Israelis are causing for muslims. however, it’s also a very ironic situation because if Israeli missile or military technology is top notch, it can only benefit Pakistan in its defense against enemies like India. it’s a double-edged sword. damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
no, it's not fair seeker because you see if we keep on the "well if he did it i should do it also or if he didn't i shouldn't either" trip, where is the logic in that??? that is why i said that the issue at hand is a double-edged sword. a good argument can be made on both sides depending on valid reasoning. i rest my case.

Business is business and national security is above all the most important. However I do not like the implication that if we didnt agree with your assessment we wouldnt be "enlightened enough to see reality".
Reality is simple. The Islamic identity doesnt exist. Rather it is in tatters. At this point we can dicuss supporting muslims in all contexts, however we cannot ignore our security needs, or the needs of the nation.
Would you deem myself enlightened, if i said i refuse to trade with Israel no matter what. The trade is with china of US weaponary bought from Israel. China is who we trade with. We dont give any money to Israel directly or indirectly.
Exactly. The fact that the technology is Israeli by design does not matter, because not a single cent of the money that Pakistan spends on them goes back to Israel. China had already purchased the technology for the drones from Israel. All that Pakistan did was purchase drones made with that technology.
For well over a decade, Pakistan has been using PL-9 Air-to-Air missiles bought from China. China bought the technology used to make the PL-9 from Israel - the PL-9 is a stripped down version of the Israeli Python-3 Air-to-Air infra-red missile.
This latest deal with the drones is in no way out of the ordinary. Pakistan, and many other Muslim and arab nations that use Chinese weapons, have been benefiting for many years from the sale of Israeli technology to China.
