The attack by Pakistan included missiles of Chinese origin, these included long range rockets, UAVs, some copters and drones of Chinese origin. These were shot down by our air defense system.
We kept civilian and military infrastructure at minimum target, while the Pakistani army was continuously attacking everywhere. You know that we have a variety of air defense systems. This includes low level firing, surface to air missiles, long and short range missiles. We have been attacked by drones and UAVs.
During the Pakistani attack, all our systems were activated simultaneously, this was important in terms of modern day war fighting. The air defense system, which was considered old, also worked properly. The attacks were also responded to with the Akash system.
Yesterday we shared the details of some targets with you. The pictures we are showing show that we shot down enemy drones, fighter aircraft and missiles. There was minimal damage on our side.
