Taiwan drone manufacturer says 'no deal' with Pak military-backed company
The Sunday Guardian
|April 20, 2025
A Taiwan-based drone manufacturing company that supplies drones to India has firmly denied any collaboration or ongoing talks with Pakistan, even as reports emerge of a Karachi-based defence firm allegedly exploring ties to acquire its combat UAVs.
The said Taiwanese company, Drones Vision, is based in Keelung City, a major port city in northeastern Taiwan and specialises in militarized unmanned aerial vehicles and anti-UAV technologies.
Its products, including the Revolver 860 combat drone, have gained attention for their battlefield utility and have reportedly been used by Ukrainian forces in their war with Russia.
The name of the Karachi-based company is Universal Smart Military Systems (USMS), which is headed by Aman Jalal Khan and is amongst one of the primary partners of the Pakistan Air Force and has been given a place at the National Aerospace Science and Technology Park (NASTP) whose primary objective is to enhance the nation's capabilities in the aerospace industry by establishing clusters and innovation hubs throughout the country.
