@Abingdonboy sir please enlighten us regarding this new development and how is it compared to burraq?

(01) The proposal to buy these drones was being mulled right from 2012 itself by the armed forces but didn’t get the support of UPA-2 due to policy paralysis in MoD procurements during AK Antony's tenure. The project was revived by the Modi government this year. I am surprised that some members from across the border are relating it to the Chinese CH-3 drones which highlights nothing but their sheer desperation and inferiority complex only.

(02) Both belong to different classes - IAI Eitan is way better than CH-3 in every respect -

Parameter - IAI Eitan - CH-3
Range - 7,400+ km - 2,400 km
Endurance - 70+ hours -12 hours
Payload Capacity - 2000 kg - 60 to 80 kg

>>Apart from Eitan's intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, and reconnaissance (ISTAR) role, the Eitan can also be used for aerial refuelling, and armed roles including missile defence and long-range strategic strike - NOT the case with CH-3.

>> Eitan features a a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and two conformal signals intelligence (SIGINT) arrays - NOT the case with CH-3.

>> Way better effective payload capacity with enhanced endurance and a better weapons package simple mean it's hell lot deadlier than the one it is being compared to.

Eitans' can be retrofitted with India's own indigenously developed SAR systems in the near future.

ZUMR I EP Sensor

The EP used by Burraq is advanced variant of it.l

The Indian government has approved the procurement of ten missile-armed Heron TP (aka IAI Eitan) unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to be operated by the Indian Air Force (IAF) The Economic Timesreports.

The $400 million procurement program was revived at the beginning of 2015 by the highest levels of government–the Indian military already wanted to purchase armed Heron drones in 2012 but did not get the political backing–and the first drones are slated to enter Indian service within a year, according to a source interviewed by the Economic Times.

Produced by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), the Heron TP is a medium-altitude, long endurance UAV with a range of around 7,400 kilometers (4,600 miles) and a maximum flight time of around 36 hours in favorable weather conditions.

The drone can be deployed for a range of different tasks including intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and long-range strategic strike missions. India’s new Heron TP UAVs are capable of carrying a payload of over 1,000 kilograms and will be armed with air-to-ground missiles, according to Indian defense officials.

The UAV will likely be deployed in counter-insurgency/terrorism operations to take out targets outside of Indian territory deemed too risky for manned aircraft. “It is very good if something like this is happening. Instead of sending a pilot in a high-risk area, it is best to use an armed drone. The system can also be used for a surprise, sneak attack,” according to former Indian Air Chief P.V. Naik.

India is already operating a total of 176 Israel-made drones including 108 IAI Searchers and 68 unarmed Heron-1 aircraft for surveillance and reconnaissance missions. The IAF also fields a fleet of IAI Harpy drones – a self-destruct aircraft carrying a high-explosive warhead and primarily used for taking out enemy radar stations. Between 1985 and 2014, India was the top importer of UAVs worldwide.

India’s Defense Research and Development Organization is also developing an indigenous armed UAV, labeled the Rustom-II, however the program has experienced a number of setbacks. “Development of the Rustom-II has been delayed on account of challenges with efficient design as well as the cancellation of export licenses by the U.S. State Department of the American origin actuators that were being used in the Rustom-II. India has now had to develop indigenous replacements for those actuators and the Rustom-II will fly with those this year,” according to Saurav Jha writing for The Diplomat. As of yet, no armed flight trials of the Rustom-II have taken place, according to the Economic Times. India and Israel are also in talks to co-produce UAVs in the future.

Seems Pakistan's Buraq is causing panic amongst Indian ranks, $400 million for 10 Drones, wonder who is causing who into an arms race......and whatever happened to the , make in India banter.

Panic for your Buraq as you guys claimed to have shot down a Indian UAV which in turn belong to you guys who can believe the kill ratio of Buraq .

 

[Chanakyaa]

Drone vs Drone has no use. Drone vs SAM is more meaningful.
India has good experiance is Bringing down Recon Jets and Drones.

Shalwar kameez is lot better than your dhoti which can be taken off by any third party in the broad day light, just like our armed drone caught your ego with a your dhoti down, anyways keep doing the r&d and when you are ready to invent wheel then come back to this forum in the meantime stop beating your titsy botsy chest it can cause you bronchaites.

.... come back when you have anything significant to say rather than brain farts .

When indians have no answer they retreat in a same way by calling everything blah blah blah. I have already farted after having my beef stake which has already blown you away from your senses and already started banning beef.
