PAF revamped Air Defense Alert System

[Inception-06]

Looks like French Crotale to me, or maybe some older Chinese system

Its the upgraded french Crotale !

Yes , but what SAM is this?
Such an arrangement will save lots of time and resources. I am unaware of a similar arrangement elsewhere.

If I am not wrong French Crotale SAM

It also has an optical aiming system.

Paf now operates a few of latest version per history

Crotale 4000 Series. Cable interconnections between units were replace by radio datalink. The TELARS can be located at a range of up to 3 km from acquisition and coordination unit. And up to 10 km between proximate ACU. Radar has improved electronic countermeasures;

Crotale 5000 Series. It is a modernization of the French Crotale systems. It appeared in 1985. This system incorporates an optical tracker. It also has improved radar that has detection range of 18 km;

By the way paf had bought Libyan crotale Missile batteries as well part of mirages in 2003/4 and 2007

Probably the RAC-3D (with the Spada 2000-Plus).

Just a side point. Good reference for seeing the cost (upfront and support) of the Saab Sea Giraffe (i.e. $12.5 m per radar). This is a fire control radar, so it'll be interesting to see how much more the Giraffe 4A air surveillance radar would cost.

Bro,

We live in the era of satellites and airborne surveillance systems. You think that posting a few pics on the web will change the situation on the ground? No.

Even if positions are known and/or discovered, nobody is coming after them because such installations are expected to be heavily guarded and our soldiers will offer resistance. Resistance is the key deterrent....

Looks like crotale are now all gone as no mention of it in latest Allen Warren book on paf with a chapter on radars and sams only mentioned spada, mistrals and Anza

Check 6/7 September display to confirm is crotale is still with paf or may be just a few batteries of 4000 version in reserve ??
