Now One Foreign Partners have started JV in defense sector accepting 49% share holding. There is a bright chance that others players having reservations with 51:49 pattern of share holding might change their stance.:coffee:

Kornet is a Early 3rd gen(Some claim it is 2nd gen) Shoulder Fired ATGM

Nag is a 3rd gen ATGM with Top Attack Capability and mainly fired from Missile Carrier or Aircraft/Helos.

Spike is a 4th Gen ATGM.

I don't want more than 49 % share for any foreign nation as that would make the majority share holder which is a bad thing security wise and generate legality issue.

ATGMs are divided to 3 generations:

1st gen - manual guidance. You need look at missile and target at same time. Very hard to aim and have low probability. Sagger is typical example.

2nd gen - SACLOC (Semi-automatic command to line of sight) guidance. You need only to keep cross at target till impact (TOW, HOT, Milan, Konkurs, Fagot, Kornet...)

3rd gen - ATGMs with seekers. Fire and forget (Javelin, Spike, HJ-12, Nag...)

Spike in addition to fire and forget mode has also fire and update mode. It allows u to redirect to another target after the launch and hit hidden targets.

So you meant maneuver in mid air?

More and more opening up of defense sector is a welcome move to absorb latest technology at faster place without any bottlenecks and cut corruption to an extent

What model and number of Anti-Tank Missiles does Pakistan have?


TOW, MILAN and Baktar Shikan (which is a licenced Chinese HJ-8 missile).
The HongJian-8 (Red Arrow) is itself a reverse-engineered British Swingfire Missile using a reverse-engineered MILAN guidance system mounted on a reverse-engineered US TOW tripod stand.

Officially Second gen but I don't want to be too critical here.

I was curious to know of its 2 plus gen characteristics when you termed it Modular. Nevermind!!
