Leonardo has announced its Falco UAV family has attained 15,000 operational flying hours. More than 50 examples have been used worldwide by five operators since its 2003 first flight, including the United Nations, which uses it in its MONUSCO peacekeeping operations in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The latest Falco Evo variant, which can carry up to 100kg (220lb) payload including Leonardo’s Osprey and Gabbiano UL radars or sensors from thirdparty providers, has been selected by two undisclosed customers in the Middle East and Gulf region. Leonardo claims to be the only company in Europe able to offer a complete “end-to-end” remotely piloted air system including its sensors, communications, mission management systems and ground control stations.

Does PAF operate this type
 
I've been thinking. Is pakistan looking into drones to replace/supplement infantry? For e.g. rifle/machine gun/sniper/rpg,etc modules mounted on a VTOL? Similar concept to quadcopters with grenades & mortars.

Most of what I've seen so far from others is just adhoc solutions taking a rifle off the shelf & attaching it to a quadcopter but no one's attaching it to a fixed wing VTOL which I'd assume would be more stable. You would need to store ammunition on board as well with resupply coming from ground units.

If you give them autonomous capabilities & assign a human "officer" for oversight, you could probably create a whole new army of "soldiers" like this for a fraction of the cost.

No infantry is not getting replaced, drones are added muscle, taking advantage of latest technology, kill and eliminate threats while infantry captures ground and sustain it
