Pakistan has introduced an indigenously developed anti-drone jamming gun named Sufra, shown at the Pakistan International Maritime Exhibition and Conference (PIMEC) 2025 in Karachi. The system is designed to disrupt, seize, or disable hostile drones that pose a threat to security.
Officials said Sufra can neutralise drones within a 1.5-kilometre radius, making it suitable for protecting borders, sensitive sites, and large public gatherings. The device can target both the drone and its remote controller and, when needed, take control of the drone to land it safely.
The gun operates across an adjustable 30-degree firing angle, allowing operators to focus on a specific sector. It is also built to handle multiple drone threats at once, which could be important during complex or coordinated attacks. Designers highlighted that Sufra is rugged and mobile, so it can be deployed quickly where extra protection is required.
Security officials noted the weapon’s potential uses include guarding border areas, securing important events, and protecting critical infrastructure such as ports and airports. They emphasized the advantage of a locally made system that reduces reliance on foreign technology and can be adapted to Pakistan’s operational needs.
The unveiling at PIMEC drew interest from defence and maritime experts, who saw Sufra as a timely response to the growing global concern over unmanned aerial threats. Authorities said further testing and field trials will continue before larger deployments, while training will be provided for units that will operate the system.
