Islamabad, Pakistan (Khyber Mail): In a major technological breakthrough aimed at enhancing border security, Pakistan has announced plans to deploy armored remote-controlled guard posts along its border with Afghanistan. These advanced installations will play a pivotal role in curbing cross-border terrorist movement while ensuring the safety of personnel.
Equipped with American M2 Browning heavy machine guns, these posts offer an effective range of two kilometers and are capable of swift response to suspicious activity. Featuring 360-degree surveillance systems and night vision capabilities, the guard posts provide round-the-clock monitoring of critical border areas.
This initiative marks Pakistan’s commitment to modernization, with a focus on reducing risks to soldiers through automation. By dedicating a portion of its defense budget to research and development, Pakistan aims to enhance cooperation with domestic and international defense companies for accelerated deployment of such cutting-edge systems.
Experts view this move as a step toward a secure, modern, and self-reliant Pakistan, reflecting practices adopted by developed nations. The new guard posts are expected to strengthen border surveillance, deter illegal crossings, and ensure greater national security.
