A #Chinese article of 21 January 2024 elucidates that #Pakistan Armed forces employed Yihe III (photo enclosed as found in article) during Pakistan's retaliatory strike on 19 January 2024 along with JF17 fighter & Wing Loong II UCAV. While JF17 remained on Pakistan side, it stuck a target in Iran 50 km away from the border, exploiting the maximum range of GIDS B-REK claimed as 170 km in the article. However, both WL-II & Yihe III crossed the IB wherein WLII did the recce & BDA for JF17. Article's description of Yihe III is reproduced below with google translation “On January 19, in addition to the Wing Loong-2 armed drones, Pakistan also admitted that its domestically produced Yihe-III suicide drones were also involved in the war. This is a product jointly produced by Turkey and Pakistan. This is the first time that Pakistan's domestically produced suicide drones have fired in actual combat. This is an achievement of Pakistan in drone technology, which is much better than India. India does not have any drones that can be used in actual combat. Pakistan has just started drone technology and has reached a certain level.” Please note above para in quotes is straight from the article. Original Chinese is reproduced below "1月19日,巴基斯坦除了翼龙-2武装无人机参战外,还承认国产Y-III自杀式无人机也参战,这是一款由土耳其和巴基斯坦联合生产的产品,这是有史以来,巴基斯坦国产自杀式无人机首次实战中开火。这是巴基斯坦在无人机技术的一个成果,比印度要强多了,印度尚无可以实战使用的无人机可用。在无人机技术也算才完成起步,也有了一定的水平。" @AtmaSoch assessment:- Pakistan Armed Forces had practised the employment of Yihe III in actual combat, are indigenously producing it with #Turkish support, would have developed the desired tactics of its employment. 14 days from 22 April 2025 to night 06/07 May (#OperationSindoor) gave them adequate time to further enhance the production & employment in large numbers.

No Lidar, only EO/IR.....

Lidar too, not making any arbitrary comment

PAF had advertised Yihe III a year ago at one of their bases. Nothing is secretive about it. It is not a drone, but rather a loitering munition. Pakistan produces parts for Anka but hasn’t inducted it in its arsenal. The only two Turkish drones are Akinci and TB2 which were not used. From Pakistan’s side only loitering munitions were employed. Photo below shows Yihe III in the front.
