The cost and model of the short-range unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) have not been disclosed, but it is estimated to cost between $200,000 and $275,000.
Pakistani Army spokesperson major general Athar Abbas, however, said the deal had not yet been formalised.
“We are yet to receive a formal proposal from the US regarding the Raven drone. So until we receive that I won’t be able to give a comment,” he added.
Local manufacturers, however, feel that Pakistan is capable of building an equally powerful version of the drone at just a fifth of the price quoted by the US.
