Pakistan’s spy agency ISI plans to enhance infiltration attempts along the Line of Control (LoC) by utilising drone technology, an Indian intelligence report has revealed. Specifically, drones will be used for advanced surveillance and situational assessment before any infiltration attempts, CNN-News18 has learnt.
This includes tracking the movement and deployment of Indian security forces, identifying gaps or weaknesses in border patrol routes, and analysing terrain conditions in real-time to aid terrorist movements, the report says.
The strategic use of drones aims to minimise the risk of detection by employing technology-enabled methods for cross-border penetration.
On May 14, a credible input revealed that Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) held a meeting with various Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) training camp commanders and guides in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). The discussion focused on increasing the recruitment of new terrorists into the LeT and emphasising the importance of drone surveillance along the LoC to monitor the situation prior to infiltration attempts.
Further discussions included plans to relocate training camps and launching pads in PoK, as well as constructing underground bunkers in preparation for potential armed conflict with India, says the report.
ISI also instructed the arming and training of border area residents to respond to Indian drone attacks and proposed replacing active guides with residents from PoK/Pakistan to better manage infiltration routes, it adds.
According to the intelligence inputs, a detailed plan was also discussed to attack Indian security forces in the coming days while upgrading and activating the old overground worker (OGW) network in Kashmir.
