Pakistan successfully tested a short- range, surface-to-air missile capable of destroying drones, the country's military said, two days after protesting to the U.S. over attacks on its territory by the unmanned aircraft.
"The elements of army air defense demonstrated their shooting skills by targeting drones flying at different altitudes," according to a statement posted today on the military's Web site. The test took place during an exercise that also involved the use of radar-controlled guns.
