In yet another embarrassment to Islamabad, the Chinese firm, which apparently manufactured the drone shot down by Pakistan along the LoC, said the aircraft was not sold to any government.The Pakistani army had downed an unmanned aircraft along the LoC on July 15, saying it was a spy drone from India.
Indian Foreign Secretary S Jaishankar had who refuted Pakistan's claims of shooting down an Indian drone, adding that it was not in the inventory of the Indian defence forces.
On Wednesday, a news report in The Global Times read that Chinese drone maker, DJI, said that governments are not their direct customers, reinforcing India's stand.
Earlier, Chinese official media, People's Daily Online, reported that the phantom 3 drone was made in China by DJI.
Pakistan had summoned Indian High Commissioner to Islamabad TCA Raghavan to protest over it.
The Global Times report also quoted DJI as saying that it is not difficult to purchase their drones through its website or through any vendors.
DJI, headquartered in Shenzhen, Guangdong, was founded in 2006.
