It was said tht Pakistan was interested in HQ-9..... so its HQ-9 probably.

 

[rsingh]

Any Idea how much would it cost.

Hello Mr. RSingh, Pakistan gets soft loans (very low interest term loans and/or grants) to cover its purchases from China. Given Pakistan's lethargic current economic condition and her balance of payments crisis, she is in no position to take large foreign currency loans. Moreover, probably no one will offer her credit.

However, if you read this link, China is quietly relaxing financial loan terms to Pakistan to keep up weapons sales. Pakistan is lucky in this regards to have China by her side. Take care.

We do really need

Karachi 4 SAMS
Islamabad 4 SAMS
LAHORE 4 SAMS
Peshawar 4 SAMS
Paktoon Kuwa 3 SAMS

This is the absolute minimum requirement for our national defence

When combined with SPADA and JF17 thunder the defensive needs of national need will be met to good extent

The growing threat posed by Indian arms purchases from Israel, US and Russia need to countered. All Indian purchases are offensive and these cannot be left unchecked. India is using China as an excuse, but it will never have the guts to fight with China. All those weapons will be used against Pakistan.

Konstantin Sivkov, the first vice president of the Academy for Geopolitical Sciences, believes that Iran is capable of establishing its own production of state-of-the-art missile systems.


"Their technical performance will be much worse than that of Russian systems, of course. Here is an example. The USA used to ship F-14 Tomcat fighters to Iran. The jets were equipped with air-to-air Phoenix missiles. It was the only country in the world that earned such an honor from the USA. As soon as the shah regime in Iran collapsed and ayatollahs came to power there, the military cooperation between the two countries was suspended. The US realized that its potential enemy possessed the arms that can drastically change the situation in a possible conflict. As a result, the USA did it best to deprive Iran of Tomcat spare parts and other equipment in a hope that the delivered planes and missiles would come out of order one day and Iran would not be able to establish their production afterwards. However, Iran launched its own production of both the spare parts and armament systems for F-14 planes, including Phoenix missiles.


"It brings up an idea that the Islamic Republic will be able to build a complex similar to S-300. They can do it with China's help. China purchased Russian export variants of S-300 and then started making its own versions of the system. However, as experience shows, everything that China copied from Russia was much worse than the originals.


"Let's take one of the most important parameters of the S-300 system - its interference resistance. This problem cannot be solved with mere copying. The data used in the design of S-300 interference resistance capability is a highly important state secret, which no one intends to make public.


"Nevertheless, even if Iran's systems are 20 or 40 percent worse than the Russian ones, they can become a serious obstacle for conducting air raids against the Islamic Republic. Neither the USA, nor Israel will attack the country if they are not certain that everything will happen strictly according to their plans. The Iranian administration can see that American threats to North Korea have been replaced with persuasion and diplomatic approach after North Korea has proved the possession of nuclear arms."

Sigh...though it's good that we're overcoming our air defence shortcomings by buying these SAMs, i'd rather have this money being invested in our crappy education sector.

When will our countrymen learn.

There needs a balance among different kind of spendings, may those be defence , education, road construction or administrative. Lets get out of fashion of condemning defence spendings.

That's the thing, there isn't much of a balance.

I know that defence is the utmost importance to our country, but you know, after the flood that wreaked our country, and our economy in shambles, i think it makes sense to criticize our country a bit.

nevertheless, i'm proud that the army finally took care of its shortcoming.

 

[Arsalan]

HQ-18 is better then KS-1A and just 4 systems?

may be its four systems under evaluation that he is not pointing to and not four battries that you are confucing it with...

 

[Arsalan]

earlier repors were of Pakistan evaluating FT-2000 from china. this is based no HQ-9and termed as AWACS killer!

the FT-2000 news surfaced back in 2003 and nothing has materilized since then. i hope this new proceeding does not take that long.

BTW, i think we should have better sticked to HQ-9/FT-2000. they are long-medium range high altitude SAM, a system we badly need!

Congrats pakistan,

I think Karachi needs more SAMS compared with Lahore and Peshawar as it is major Economic Hub.

Well i also heared that pakistan is close to buy these SAM systems well hope they have used their mind a bit HQ 18 which is copy of russian legandary S-300 from whom country like israel fears hope pakistan should go and buy that system 4 systems are bit too low atleast 12 of these will ensure air superioirity in pakistan skies
