Analyst | 9 years ago | Reply This is no accident. This is by design. This top-secret, Pak-China joint venture is designed to track a terrorist and crash into the head. It contains no explosives. So there will be no collateral damage. This is 7th Generation technology. NATO has codenamed it the "Head-Banger".
