Amid concerns over Pakistan’s close military ties with Bangladesh, it is now emerging that the Bangladesh military has acquired the Turkish TB-2 Bayraktar drones and is operating them close to the Indian border for surveillance operations. Defence sources told that the Indian agencies concerned have seen the drones operating and are closely monitoring them. Sources said the drones have been seen carrying out sorties in the last few months and are flying inside their own territory along the borders with India.
The Indian side has taken all measures, including installing radars for keeping a close watch on their activities in these areas, they said. On occasions, the TB-2s of the Bangladeshi military have also flown sorties of over 20 hours on surveillance missions, the sources said.
