Pakistan test-flies pilotless plane

Pakistan on Thursday conducted a successful test flight of a pilotless plane, the military announced. Flight data from the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) named "Uqaab," showed the exercise had been successful, it said in a statement.
"The performance of UAV can be compared to any modern state-of-the-art UAV in its category," the statement said, adding that the flight test was preceded by a series of trial last year. The successful test "reflects Pakistan's continued efforts for self-reliance in the field of defence," it said.
