The problem is that girrafes are with army air defence and MPDRs are with PAF.
Jointness is a huge issue in our armed forces.
Look at Karachi. We have naval radars, PAF Radars, Army Radars and CAA Radars all in close vicinity with little or no data sharing. Criminal for a poor country like...
These freaks form the backbone of our asymmetric force. Like or not we need such people to instill fear in the hearts of our enemies. Desperate times call for desperate measures
Girrafe is an excellent low level radar with a very high update rate.
We have the capability to indigenously upgrade the signal processing of MPDR and Girrafe radars keeping the same mechanical structure.
Improved subclutter visibility along with ECCM features such as frequency hopping and pulse...
YLC-2 is high level and YLC - 6 was supposed to be low level but I would categorize it more as a medium level gap filler. I would not compare them. YLC-6 is however better than MPDR 90P
The best low level radars we have are the MPDR 45 and SPADA detection center.
Pakistan has another...
With due respect I think you overrate the YLC-6. The stupid radar had so many integration issues that at one time it seemed it would be phased out without going into operations.
I never said that it is logical I just said it is a reason.
I do not make the decisions in PAF. From what I have heard whenever the Air Staff takes a decision that seems illogical. People accept it by saying that they must have a reason.
BTW I agree with you they should have sold if they got a...
They also sold us the Crotale Surface to Air Missile System which successfully deterred any aggressive intentions against Kilo Area. It is still an operational system today
With all due respect Sir things do not need to make sense.
Only a reason is required and that has been given " fulfilling local requirement"
We have Shahpar and Buraq and we are still developing a third bird.
In a country that is begging both inside and outside how senseless is that
TPS 43 and YLC2 are aging out there is a replacement program for YLC2 but
In the long term TPS-77 and ATCR would survive and should be sufficient.
Low level is where the challenge lies.
In my opinion Project Azm is a waste of money.
The future belongs to UCAVs. That is where we should be investing.
We would not have been wasting this money if political oversight had provided the required check and balances to rationalize military spending
Such deadlines may be set in Military Courts. Jirgas are even faster. Modern courts take time. The solution lies in implementing arrest and bail procedures properly.
