POF develops latest anti-terror weapon system

ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Ordnance Factories (POF) have successfully developed a state-of-the-art anti-terrorist weapon system called ‘Pofeye’, POF Chairman Lt Gen Sabahat Hussain said on Friday.

“We have developed an anti-terrorist weapon which can hit the target accurately by providing full safety to the operator during cross-firing,” Gen Hussain said while demonstrating the weapon system in a briefing to members of the National Assembly Standing Committee on Defence Production during their visit to the ordnance facility. “Pakistan is only the second country in the world that has such a weapon,” the POF chairman said.

He informed the committee that the weapon, weighing four kilogrammes, was capable of locating a target accurately and then hitting it with the help of a laser beam.

He said the weapon’s production would begin as soon as trials were completed.

The NA standing committee, headed by Sheikh Aftab Ahmed, praised POF’s achievements and advocated financial autonomy for POF Wah. “We fully endorse the idea of giving POF an autonomous status,” Aftab said.

Committee members Sher Muhammad Baloch, Azeem Daultana, Sahibzada Muhammad Fazl-e-Karim, Naseer Bhutta, Malik Nauman Ahmed Leghari, Fouzia Ejaz Khan, Muzaffarul Mulk, Tariq Mehmood Bajwa and Syed Akhundzada Chitan were present. app
