Pakistan has introduced Sufra, a locally developed anti-drone jamming gun engineered to neutralize cross-border kamikaze drones and bolster border security. Built by experts at the National Electronics Complex, the system was unveiled and successfully demonstrated at the Karachi Maritime Expo, where it proved capable of disrupting and disabling hostile drones at ranges up to 1.5 kilometers.
Sufra uses directed radio-frequency jamming to sever the command, navigation and control links of unmanned aerial vehicles, allowing operators to either seize control of an intruding drone or force it down safely. The system’s 30-degree adjustable angle enhances targeting flexibility, making it effective against low-flying, fast-moving threats in complex coastal and border environments.
Designed for rapid deployment and field use, Sufra strengthens Pakistan’s indigenous defense technology base by reducing reliance on imported counter-drone solutions. The project highlights growing local capability in electronic warfare, offering a cost-effective option for military and paramilitary units tasked with protecting critical infrastructure and densely populated border regions.
During the Karachi Maritime Expo demonstration, organizers emphasized Sufra’s operational readiness and potential for integration with existing surveillance networks and perimeter defenses. Officials described the weapon as part of a broader push to modernize airspace protection and counter asymmetric threats posed by small, commercially available drones modified for hostile use.
Sufra’s development reflects Pakistan’s focus on practical, homegrown electronic countermeasures that combine reach, precision and adaptability. As drone threats evolve, locally produced jamming solutions like Sufra may play an increasingly important role in regional security strategies and force protection doctrines.
