# Kyiv tells India no Ukrainian drones ever went to Pakistan 2026-08-08T07:44:57+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Kyiv has told New Delhi in categorical terms that it never supplied a single drone to Pakistan, The Hindu reports. A senior Ukrainian official in the military investment portfolio said Islamabad's earlier letter of intent to buy UAV technology never became an export, transfer, or co-production deal. This comes as Prime Minister Narendra Modi reportedly prepares to host Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy after Russian President Vladimir Putin's visit. The assurance follows reports during Operation Sindoor that Pakistani forces were using Ukraine-origin drones. Those claims have circulated but remain unverified. The Hindu's report also says Ukrainian drone technology has become a global focus since Russia's 2022 invasion, and notes India's own rapid expansion of drone production in the public-private space. ## Coverage - thehindu.com Tags: India-Pakistan, Kyiv, New Delhi, Operation Sindoor, Ukraine drones Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/kyiv-tells-india-no-ukrainian-drones-ever-went-to-pakistan/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
