Burraq UCAV & Shahpur UAV inducted in Pakistani arsenal.

@Basel l I know, unmanned platforms will be great multiplyers in future warfare. We can develop or acquire technology, provided we have the money.

@Aeronaut you are right again. I have question can we tweak current UAVs to track and share data with our air defense assets like JF-17s & SPADA 2000 so they don't have to activate their radars and remain bit stealthy and it can also increase the strike envelope of the JF-17s specially with weapons which have longer ranges then its radar.

@Basel l Pakistan has its own datalink so yes, its possible.

@Aeronaut I think by using current UAVs like that we can reduce the threat of their Super Sokhois, Rafaels and Mig-29Ks because if JF-17 can carry a weapon which can hit target 240 kms away and receive targeting data from a ahead high flying UAV for air to air, air to sea, air to ground targets than it will change a lot in warfare in South Asia.

PA can handle IA, but to handle IAF & IN, PAF & PN need all innovation we can come up in this money crunch time.

Not good omen for terrorists... i wonder now, who is going to pay for terrorist setup while they are sitting in Kabul most of the time!

I expect, handlers will slowly get rid of terrorists and find new ways to stir trouble.

How can you explain this thing??

Is this hardpoint underneath the wing?

Is this hardpoint underneath the wing?

this pic is of Chiness UAV which is an armed drone.....

What thing?

I think what you're getting at is already explained by razgriz19.

The kill probability of a missile at such a high range will be pathetic. Not to mention if you want to do something like that, your UAV will have to carry an air to air radar, a very big one, to guide a missile at such long distances, Pakistan doesn't has such radars even for its frontline fighters. Even if it carries such a radar, it will be easily caught by the fighter RWR long before the fighter is itself caught by the UAV's radar and the UAV itself will be shot down. If UAV were any good in this role, people would already be using them. Instead world continues to rely on AWACS.

In short, using UAV against IAF fighters is pure fantasy.

 

[BATMAN]

BQI= Buraq blk1
13=2013
1=?? (probably) type
08=Serial/production number

 

[BATMAN]

This clearly looks like Burraq, minus hard-points which seems to be detachable.

This model (in hands) surely confirms its an armed drone.

to be honest, the picture is distorted.
Pakistani media is the worst when it comes to defence

Drones around the world, specially in Pakistan are not meant for offensive air strikes. They are meant to give infantry air support. Thats the main role of drones anywhere in the world. Even United states has just started experimenting drones for the purpose of dog fights, carrier landings, etc. so not sure why you think Pakistan will be sending its drone fleet to fight indian fighter jets.
