H6K for Pakistan Strategic Forces

[Ultima Thule]

Bhai the purpose of stand off weapons is precisely to be used on a plane like this. Imagine one plane carrying 4-5 RAAD missiles instead of Mirage carrying only 1, its gives us the range plus the option to target multiple targets by 1 plane. No other platform currently in PAF gives this much flexibility. The planes does not need to venture that deep inside India to hit them but from a safer distance can cause alot of destruction specially on Indian economic hubs once a full scale war starts.

If from a GAWADAR-OMARA than it will be ok but going deep inside Arabian sea or in fact if its launch it weapons from Punjab/Baluchistan/Sindh border, its still easy target for S-400 and Naval SAMs of India

Naval SAMs of India

Which one?

They can fire after flying about 100 away kilometers from Karachi too. Safe in my eyes

I talking about Ship SAMs as well as few batteries of S-400 on the coastal areas

Range of H6k. 3000 miles with refuel
Payload 12 tons, 10,800kg, 24,000 pounds.
Raad 2, 600kms 1,100kgs,
H6K carrying capacity, 10 Raads, 11,000 kgs, 25,000 pounds
One squardon, 16 aircrafts, fully loaded, 160 Raads, 400,000 pounds
1 sortie can deliver 400,000 pounds of ALCMs.

A mirage carrying 1 Raad with 16 Raads will require 10 sorties to deliver that payload and multiple days.... and will require 3 days to deliver that payload working round the clock.

In warfare, time is an essence, the initial shock that can be delivered by H6k can shiver enemies to the core..
and the range of the plane itsself is self explanatory, the way points can be choosen for deep strikes where enemy radar and figther coverage is avoided.

Other configurations.
Anti ship role.
Troop carrier, 300 troops, can deploy one brigade and heavy weaponry.
Refueler.
Carpet bombing.

Invest this money in up-gradation of Naval fighter jet fleet. Upgraded Mirage V and JF-17s armed with anti-ship missiles which gonna require low level flight skill of pilot and some other aircraft for creating diversion. We've have done it before in Naval games with US we can do again in the future..

Folks, lets be honest to ourselves. Pakistan need deep strike heavy load strike group that can carry 12 tons of ammunition and can strike enemy naval assets and southern tips with maximum punch or their concentrated forces ... H6K can do that job for Navy and for strategic deployment. With 3000 miles extended radius with refueling probe carrying 12 tons of weapons cruise missiles and anti ship weapons this beast can destroy enemy from far away.

its a mere discussion, wants to see how this beast can be deployed by Pakistan?

Your idea is good only when we will also able to defend it.
Being so huge, is not it with huge RCS and prone to AWACS/BVR combination?
Survivability is also an important factors in wars/conflicts.

What if it will be taken down by enemy jets, and NAVAL SAM (Barak-8) we have different tactics to launch stand off anti ship missiles against the enemy's ships and land target ( From land we have ZARB/From sea we have C-802/C-803/ from underwater we have Exocet/Harpoon/ from air we CM-400-AKG/C-802 etc etc) which is more survival plate form than big RCS H-6K

and if one ground fire hits...all this load of 10 Raads etc will be gone in a flash.....

Ship SAMs

Ship won't be coming too close. I don't think India will move their Ships forward especially Destroyers from Mumbai atleast in early days without neutralising PN

Thats the first to keep in mind... Best for standby roles initially.

Lets just say Feb 27 and bombing was done by H6Ks, they will carry 10 times more loads and fighters will provide cover. one sortie 10 times more load to take out Airbases, hardened Pens, SAMs/radars, fuel and arms depots, HQs and Comm.... one sortie can deliver a massive blow to enemy before invasion.

 

[Pakistani Fighter]

ea we have C-802/C-803/

Harbah?

from underwater we have Exocet/Harpoon/

Harpoon for Submarine? I don't think we have it.

Babur 3 is Sub Launched

 

[maverick1977]

and if one ground fire hits...all this load of 10 Raads etc will be gone in a flash.....

and vice versa 10 times more damage, the element of surprise can be achieved like feb 27, this gives you an offensive capability and can hit your enemy 10 times harder.

and what for fighter jet interceptions??? from MKI or MIG-29/MIG-29K???

Good Question. F16s based in Bholari would give escorts like they give to P3Cs

I think we HAD, sorry for mistake
