India's Anti-Airfield Weapon can annihilate Pak and Chinese Air Bases

[INDIAPOSITIVE]

• 

India has taken a giant leap as it successfully flight tested the Smart Anti-Airfield Weapon (SAAW), from an Indian Air Force (IAF) aircraft.

SAAW, an indigenously designed and developed 120 kg class smart weapon, developed by DRDO, is a light-weight high-precision-guided bomb and one of the world class weapons systems.

SAAW weighs around 125-150 kgs and has a strike distance of 80-100 kms. The weapon will lend a supreme power to Air Force as this means the IAF can hit adversary airfields with high precision and from a safe distance.

In addition, its high explosive warhead with deep penetration capabilities can easily destroy even the steel reinforced concrete runways and make it impossible for the enemy aircraft to even take off while being controlled from the cockpit.

The weapon can easily cover the airways of the entire Pakistan. Major operational bases in Pakistan are located at Rafiqui (Shorkot), Masroor (Karachi), Samungli (Quetta), Minhas (Kamra), Peshawar and PAF Base Mushaf (Sargodha).

The captive and release trials were tracked by Radar and Telemetry ground stations at ITR during the entire duration of the flight. The performance of all systems were satisfactory with all the mission objectives achieved.

It is an Air to Surface weapon and can be launched from Jaguar and Su-30 aircraft. In future, the same can be integrated to the French Rafale aircraft being imported by the IAF.

The government sanctioned the Rs 56.58-crore SAAW project in September 2013.

In May, the DRDO conducted the first test on the weapon system from the IAF Jaguar DARIN-II aircraft.

Nice to know India is developing smart anti runway munitions, but kindly don't think others are sleeping.

What special it has which China and Pakistan don't have now or can not develop??

One more thing do you know what anti runway munitions China and Pakistan have and what they are working on??

Edit.

There are many type of munitions operational with PAF which can take out run ways effectively and H-4 with 120km standoff range smart weapon is one of them.

H-4 aka Denel Raptor-II is not a dedicated anti airfield weapon.
It is similar to our Israeli glide bombs.

SAAW is similar to SDBs as 4 will be carried in a launcher

Trust me it can take out runways' because it is built to perform variety of missions' with various type of warheads, it is one of main standoff weapons.

as master piece of masturbation!

H-4 is maybe based Raptor-2 but it is built on PAF's requirements, one of which is to attack enemy airfield from standoff range.


China have this 130km range weapon along with many other SDB type weapons.

H-4 is exactly similar to Raptor-II I specs.

H-4 lacks the penetration warhead instead has a HE warhead just like our Israeli glide bombs.

Have you seen H-4 and it's latest variants?? You are talking about old version not the latest one, even in news it was told that new version can be used against airfields too with better range.


Edit.

Also it is not the only weapon with that range, PAF now have SDB type smart weapons available to them locally or from foreign vendor.

Can someone please post pic of this Indian Anti Runway weapon.

LOL at India. They crashed their air force and now they have nothing to fly

A weapon is tested and it immediately becomes a world class weapon.

What does the red color text means. Does it mean other weapons systems of similar type allow aircraft to take off while being controlled from the cockpit.

Willi is not a reliable source.
