PAC upgrading Super Mushshak aircraft for counter-insurgency operations

PAC has developed a newer version of Super Mushak with laser guided Burak anti-tank missile and other ground attack weapons have been added to it.

The weapons capacity has been enhanced as well and a new ground attack version has been made with very low operational costs.

This is a good development for anti-terrorism missions.

The news is confirm.

Pak upgrades Super Mushak Aircraft with sharp teeth

Pakistan Aeronautical Complex has achieved another milestone in the development of military aircrafts after the success of JF-17 Thunder. According to details, the latest fighter version of Super Mushak aircrafts, equipped with anti-tank missiles is ready for operations. The aircraft is being said to be used for training purposes.

Buraq laser-guided missiles would also be installed in this version while its targeting capacity has further been improved. The plane will be used for combat purposes for the first time.

Due to lower operational costs, the plane can particularly be used in operations against terrorists.

Earlier, Pakistan had achieved a great success by experimenting log-range indigenously developed smart missile from JF-17 Thunder, last week. This exercise has made its defence impregnable; reducing its dependency on other countries.

The fact that the weapon was developed, integrated and even qualified through the indigenous efforts of solely Pakistani scientists and engineers makes it an even bigger milestone for the country.

The successful trial has provided JF-17 Thunder with a potent and guaranteed capability to accurately pinpoint a variety of targets through day and night.

The plane, historically used as a training aircraft, has been integrated with a new glass cockpit and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities by fitting the aircraft with electro-optic/infrared sensor turrets and an L3 Wescam MX-10 surveillance device.

After initial aerodynamic and structural analysis, one Chinese-built precision-guided bomb was mounted under each wing of one of the aircraft earlier last month, as the next phase of the initiative seeks to arm the Super Mushshak.

Complete Integration will take another three to four months, which includes flight tests and drop tests.
