Pakistan’s new drone deal is with Trump-backed firm also selling to India

On September 16, 2026, a delegation from Powerus, a US drone company backed by Donald Trump's sons, met with Pakistan's military chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir. The following day, Powerus announced it received a procurement order from Pakistan's Ministry of Defence for unmanned aerial systems. However, analysts are questioning Pakistan's decision to partner with a company that has ties to Israel and sells drones to India, especially since Pakistan already manufactures its own drones.
