Defense Minister Ghassan Maumoon has been summoned to the Parliament to be quizzed regarding the usage of the drones procured from Turkey.

Opposition MDP MP Meekail Ahmed Naseem moved to question the Defense Minister about the drones.

In the notice, Meekail asked whether the drone brought to the service of the MNDF Air Corps at a cost of MVR 570 million had been put into use.

Meekail is also scheduled to ask what the drone has been used for so far.

The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones by the MNDF in an operation in which a person or persons went missing has been reported only once so far.
