In a significant boost to its defense and security capabilities, Pakistan has publicly unveiled an indigenously developed drone-jamming gun designed to neutralize the growing threat of cross-border suicide drones. The system, named ‘Sufra’, was presented at the Karachi Maritime Expo and represents a critical advancement in asymmetric warfare technology.
Developed by the National Electronics Complex of Pakistan, the Sufra is a tactical, portable counter-drone system with an effective range of up to 1.5 kilometers. Its primary function is to disable “kamikaze” or hostile surveillance drones by jamming the signals between the drone and its operator. The system operates within a focused 30-degree arc, which can be adjusted based on mission requirements, allowing for precise targeting and minimizing collateral interference.

A key feature of the Sufra is its dual-mode capability; it can either seize control of an incoming drone or render both the drone and its controller completely inoperable. Developers also state that the system can tackle multiple hostile drones simultaneously. It is slated for deployment along sensitive national borders and for securing large public events to protect critical infrastructure and crowds.
FAQs: Pakistan’s Sufra Drone-Jamming Gun
1. What is the primary purpose of the Sufra system?
Its primary purpose is to counter hostile drones, specifically “kamikaze” or suicide drones, which pose a threat to border security, critical infrastructure, and public safety at large gatherings.
2. How does the Sufra gun work?
It works by emitting targeted radio frequency jamming signals within a 30-degree arc. This disrupts the communication link between the drone and its controller, either allowing the operator to take control of the drone or forcing it to land/self-destruct.
3. What is its effective range?
The system has an effective range of up to 1.5 kilometers, providing a substantial defensive buffer against incoming threats.
4. Who developed this technology?
The Sufra was developed entirely within Pakistan by the National Electronics Complex, a testament to the country’s growing expertise in defense electronics and cybersecurity.
5. Where will this system be deployed?
The system is ideally suited for installation along national borders to prevent cross-border drone incursions and for deployment at large public events, VIP protection details, and around critical infrastructure like airports and power plants.
