Pakistan’s Army team has secured second place at the Best International Military Drone Team Competition (BIMDTC-2026) in Ankara, Türkiye according to details provided in the report. The event reportedly brought together military drone pilots from 33 countries to compete in speed precision and flight-control challenges.

Representing Pakistan, the 44 Signals Regiment recorded a time of 50.253 seconds in the team event, earning the silver medal. Host nation Türkiye took first place with a time of 41.417 seconds, while Italy finished third and France placed fourth according to the reported results.

Pakistan also achieved success in the individual category where Captain Talha of the 44 Signals Regiment reportedly claimed second place among more than 100 participating military pilots. His performance earned him an individual silver medal giving the Pakistani contingent recognition in both the team and individual events.

The competition focused on first-person-view (FPV) drone flying a discipline in which pilots control unmanned aircraft using a live camera feed. Participants were assessed on their ability to navigate challenging courses maintain precise control and complete tasks at speed.

According to the supplied report the event ran from October 17 to 25 with the final results announced on October 24. It was organised by the Turkish Armed Forces and brought together military personnel from Europe, Asia, Africa and other participating countries.

Pakistan’s team reportedly prepared through simulator exercises and practical training designed to improve navigation, flight control and precision under demanding conditions. The results highlight the growing attention military organisations are giving to unmanned aerial systems and specialised drone-piloting skills.

FPV drones have become increasingly significant in modern military operations because they can provide surveillance and support specialised battlefield tasks. Their growing use in recent conflicts has encouraged armed forces worldwide to develop training programmes and evaluate emerging drone technologies.

Pakistan’s reported podium finish therefore represents a notable result for its participating team at an international military competition. Captain Talha’s individual medal adds to the achievement, while the event offers participating countries an opportunity to assess their pilots’ skills against international competitors.
