Rs 7500 crore drones, intelligence and Jihad: Pakistan and this Muslim country planning big conspiracy against India, trying to...
New Delhi: The world has witnessed the bonding between Turkey and Pakistan during the recent India-Pak conflict, and it is no longer a secret that Ankara is helping Islamabad with military equipment. Now, the growing military cooperation between the two Muslim countries has become a matter of concern for New Delhi. Adding to the tension, Turkey and Pakistan have recently signed a fresh strategic agreement through which both countries will increase mutual cooperation in the defence sector, share intelligence, and strengthen security preparations. According to several media reports, the agreement has been made as a strategic step against India. It is being claimed that Turkey and Pakistan are planning to launch a 'jihad' against India together.
According to a report by News18, quoting a senior military official, Islamabad is going to buy new spy drones from Turkish companies which worth about USD900 million (approx Rs 7,500 crore). It will also acquire over 700 loitering munitions (drone-bombs that attack by finding them themselves). Not only that the armies of both the countries are also going to share intelligence with each other in order to strengthen their capabilities.
Trade worth USD5 billion will also be increased between both the countries. What Was Decided In Islamabad?
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan and Defence Minister Yasar Guler visited Islamabad recently and held a high-level meeting with Pakistan Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif, Army Chief Asim Munir. ISI chief and other national security officials were also part of the crucial meeting.
During the meeting, it was decided that Pak will purchase Turkish-made drones – Bayraktar TB2, Akinci UAVs and loitering weapons under a USD900 million deal. Both countries will also share intelligence and security cooperation, targeting India, News18 report said. Is It A Strategic Warning For India?
This growing relationship between Pak and Turkey is causing serious concern in New Delhi. During 'Operation Sindoor' in May, Pakistan launched hundreds of Made in Turkey drones that included – Bayraktar TB2, YIHA-III, and Songar models. But India's air defence systems successfully shot them down. This also raised serious questions about the capabilities of Turkish drones. Why Should India Be Worried?
Turkey's drones are strengthening Pakistan's surveillance on the international border, while advanced weapons are improving its strike capability. Due to this, India is facing dual threat – first is a better-armed Pakistan, and second is deepening cooperation between Ankara and Islamabad.

Fire at Irans largest oil refinery kills 1 in countrys southwest
Last Updated: Tehran, Jul 20 (AP) A fire at Iran's oldest and largest refinery in the southwest killed one person, state media reported Sunday. A leaky pump in an under-repair unit at Abadan refinery caused the fire on Saturday, killing a worker, according to the state-owned IRAN newspaper. Firefighters put out the blaze in two hours and operations remained unaffected, the report said. Iran's deputy parliament speaker, Ali Nikzad, confirmed Sunday that some workers were also injured, media outlets said. Abadan oil refinery, some 670 kilometres from the capital Tehran, began its operation in 1912. It is the biggest in the Islamic Republic, producing about 25 per cent of the country's fuel with more than 5,200,000 barrels of oil refined daily. Several fires have broken out across Iran over the past week at residential and commercial buildings, with authorities saying gas leaks and electrical short-circuiting were to blame. Iran is one of the world's major producers of oil, though sanctions by Western countries have limited its sales. (AP) RD RD Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
