Good analysis Divay. These DJI phantoms have a bad reputation of 'Fly away'. This may be one such case and the pak army thought that it was a spy drone from India and shot it down! So not necessary that some hobbyist is flying that quad in LOC, but may be in some town closer to LOC and it got drifted away! The Pakistan army is so dumb that they can't even differentiate between a quad and a real drone!! 

This Way,
one day
India will ban DJI flying..

Won't that mean more support for DIY multirotors?

Drone that Pakistan shot down was the IIN drone, inventor boy to make it again
This is why I love Faking News

 

I don't know the true words to express my thought, but now i feel we are giving much more attention on that topic than it might be even given in pak too.

my 2cent only.

QuoteDrone shot down by Pak army was flown from India, says ISPR
MATEEN HAIDER — PUBLISHED 38 minutes ago

ISLAMABAD: The army said on Monday that the data retrieved from the spy drone shot down near Line of Control (LOC) by Pakistani forces on July 15 provides irrefutable evidence that it was flown by Indian Army for reconnaissance inside the Pakistani side of LOC.

"An Indian drone (Quadcopter) mission was flown on July 15, 2015, by India in which it intruded from Indian Occupied Kashmir(IOK) Jaurian Sector and was flying over Own Banchirian Sector (near Bhimber), when it was shot down by Pakistani troops," Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said in first ever detailed statement following the incident.

The Indian authorities denied Pakistan's claim that "it had shot down an Indian spy drone", whereas, photos & videos recovered from the internal memory of quadcopter provides irrefutable evidence that it was flown by Indian Army for reconnaissance inside Pakistan side of LOC.

According to ISPR spokesman, an image retrieved from the quadcopter proves that after the purchase of this quadcopter it was taken inside ASCOM office (an Indian telecommunications company).

ISPR said another pre-flight picture indicates presence of an Indian soldier (can be identified from Indian uniform) standing in the vicinity of quadcopter.










"Irrefutable forensic evidence obtained from the quadcopter, now available with the Pakistan Army, also gives out geographical histogram about locations traversed by quadcopter between July 8 to 15, 2015, and these can be verified by any independent sources," the ISPR spokesman asserted.

According to data released by ISPR an image, probably taken before test flight of the quadcopter upon its arrival in forward areas, indicates company headquarters of the Indian Sector.

The image taken by the quadcopter immediately after flight from a post shows an Indian flag which proves that it started its flight from Indian post, ISPR stated.

"Other pictures give full aerial view of the Indian Post and also reveal full view of Indian side of LOC," it added.

"Initially it kept flying close to the LOC and carried on its surveillance facing towards the Pakistani side, then it crossed over LOC and pictured a Pakistani post (Pakistani flag marginally visible)," said the ISPR statement.

The ISPR said that since June 9, 2015, 35 ceasefire violations have been committed by Indian troops.

"India is exhibiting aggressive posturing through enhanced movement of troops, extensive reconnaissance, targeting of civilians and increased use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and Drones violating airspace of Pakistan," ISPR said.

Either they planted pics from their "sources" or some of our geniuses were wise enough to choose & fly around this quad with onboard recording, which even a kid could recover even if deleted many times over. This firefight is gonna be fun.
