India’s military says it has thwarted a major threat when it intercepted two drones flying over an army base in Indian-administered Kashmir, a day after suspected explosives-laden drones were used to attack an airbase in the disputed region.
The military said troops spotted two drones separately flying over Kaluchak military base early on Monday on the outskirts of Jammu city.

“Immediately, high alert was sounded and Quick Reaction Teams engaged them with firing,” the military said in a statement. “Both the drones flew away.”
Troops launched search operations in the area, the statement said, adding that they remained on high alert.
On Sunday, Indian officials said two drones carrying explosives were used to attack an airbase in Jammu city and called it the first such incident of its kind in India.
Officials said two soldiers were lightly wounded in the two explosions, which also caused minor damage to a building on the base. No military equipment was damaged.

The airbase in Jammu is also used as a civilian airport but there was no disruption to civilian flights.
The incident, if proven to have been carried out by anti-India rebels, would mark a considerable shift in strategy against New Delhi.
Rebels have primarily used classic guerrilla tactics such as ambushes, hit-and-run attacks, remote-controlled explosions and car bombings.
No rebel group has so far commented on the two incidents.

Why is a route from Sialkot depicted?
From the second Pak post, this base is only 64 km .. and the Indian army missed to knock down the drone .. It interesting scenario to analyze.

What BS, the motors aren't powerful enough to lift much weight, the drone wouldn't be able to get off the ground unless it was a large commercial drone, but the photo shows the smaller drone.
 
Thats a long ingress route for a small drone.

How much of an explosive can a small drone carry.
More importantly - looks like their firing training is similar to stormtroopers as in they couldn’t hit a slow flying drone that retreated all the way to sialkot?

Some commercial drones have an endurance of 30 minutes these days but even then that is a long way to go

the closest post is about 64 km or less. The operation was carried out mid night , after two drones left another appeared around 3 am and disappeared in the dark

India news report "
The incident comes a day after the drone strike on the Air Force Station Jammu. In a first of its kind attack, drones were used to drop explosives into the high security technical area of the Jammu airport. Two blasts took place in the early hours of Sunday; one ripped a hole in the roof of a building, while the other explosion was on the ground in an open space.

The Jammu & Kashmir Police and the National Investigation Agency (NIA) are probing the terror strike. "
