The competition took place on October 24, with Türkiye finishing first, Pakistan second, Italy third and France fourth. The teams had to guide their drones through a course featuring 23 obstacles, with speed and control playing a key role in the results.
Pakistan completed the final course in 50.253 seconds, narrowly beating Italy, which finished in 50.680 seconds. Türkiye won the contest with a time of 41.417 seconds.
Pakistan also earned an individual silver medal, as Captain Talha finished second among more than 100 international pilots.
