The Pakistani military is fielding a new combat drone into active service, the POF Ababeel MR-10 Machine Gun-armed sUAS (small Unmanned Aerial System).
The system, here seen being tested in the field at an area near the Pakistan-Afghanistan International Border located in a district in the Pakistan Army XI Corps’ AOR, is a quadcopter drone capable of hunting down or locating targets in day or night and all terrains, and then also executing the kinetic fire engagement in order to eliminate the target(s), achieved via a recoil-stabilised, fully-gimballed Machine Gun that is aimed with EO/IR and laser rangefinder.
The POF Ababeel MR-10 will carry a Machine Gun, an electro-optical mutli-spectrum sensor suite and an ammunition box with stores of 150-250 rounds and with this payload be able to provide an OEM-specified endurance time of 45 minutes. The drone has an OEM-specified maximum altitude of 3,000 meters or approximately 10,000 feet.

Unveiling the Battle-Tested: AK Rifles in Pakistani Military Service
The AK series rifles, derived from the legendary AK-47, have established themselves as iconic firearms in the realm of military weaponry. Designed by Mikhail Kalashnikov, the AK rifles have earned a reputation for their reliability, simplicity, and robustness. Pakistan received initial versions of Type56 rifles from China in the 60s and since then AK has been the backbone of the small arms arsenal of LEAs in Pakistan. Today Pakistani LEAs field AK rifles of Chinese, Russian, Bulgarian & Belarusian origin.The following article will cover AK-pattern weapons used by Pakistani armed forces.
Type56
Pakistan received initial milled receiver versions in the 60s which were later complemented by newer stamped receiver models. The most distinctive feature of this firearm is its fixed spike bayonet. Rifle itself is copy of AK type3.

Both milled and stamped receiver models are in service today. Many were modified with modular stocks and picatinny rails to mount optics and tactical accessories. LMG version of Type56 is also used by LEAs in limited numbers.
Type56-1
This version is copy of AKS/AKMS and is also widely used by army, police, special forces and other LEAs. It comes with an under-folder stock and a stamped receiver. Old school spike bayonet was removed in this version due to its limited role in modern combat. Many rifles have been modified to meet the needs of modern combat.Type56-2
This version was introduced 80s for export purposes mainly. It never made into Chinese service but was widely exported to many countries including Pakistan. It featured dark orange Bakelite furniture, side folding stock and a more ergonomic grip. This version is standard issue weapon in Pakistani army. POF is developing CW-39 for its replacement.

AKM

These battle-tested weapons found new purpose in Pakistan’s defense forces and are mostly used by FC KPK and KPK police. These rifles can be easily identified due to their distinguishing slanted barrel design and beefier furniture.
AR-M1 762
This Arsenal made Bulgarian origin rifle is used by SSG in limited numbers. This rifle is often seen with 40mm Arsenal UBGL-1 grenade launcher which justifies its adaptation because Chinese AKs were unable to mount UBGLs.

It can set apart from other similar rifles due to its milled receiver, black polymer furniture and distinguishing four port flash hider.
Type81-1
This Chinese rifle is based on Kalashnikov design with a few differences. Type81-1 version with polymer side folding stock like Type56-1 is in limited service with Pakistani special operations force SSG. Type81-1 was mainly intended for paratrooper use but later it also made it into PLA service as a standard rifle.
