#2 Aman said that when the United States drones had violated the Pak airspace, the air force had told the US authorities that their drones would be knocked down if they entered the country's airspace again.

Bubba, you do not want to challenge us on this one. The rules have changed, and we can still clean your clock without working up a sweat.

Funny when this was a NASA problem. I would think extra buckets of religion would be necessary for a Paki mission.
