KEMANKEŞ KAGEM, which has an airtime of 1 hour, can quickly head towards its target thanks to its turbojet engine. KAGEM, which also has the ability to perform autonomous flight, has been specially designed to destroy strategic targets behind the front.
KEMANKES, equipped with artificial intelligence-assisted optical guidance, can operate up to an altitude of 18,000ft. The normal cruising speed of the ammunition, which can dive to its target with a maximum speed of 0.7 Mach, is 0.3 Mach.

Certain weapons are designed for particular targets. Pakistan was supplied latest Vipers as means to fight WOT but sadly Talibans don't have an AirForce so had to use the AMRAAM elsewhere....know what I mean .

If they don't have an airforce that's even better; just drop bombs on them unchallenged

Always better if we don't need to use them.. But then Kashmir will not get solved on its own.

For that we have other options which have been used effectively.

I am talking about TTP for now.

Loitering ammunition is an interesting topic. to redirect an ammo within shortest time..

Any details on how loitering ammo works ?

even for TTP.. there wd be repercussions too whether we use these inside Afg or Pak.

Pakistanis are too culturally passive due to centuries of colonial domestication which is my honest view. This can easily be changed but it does require a systematic effort from civil-military leadership.

You will never see such pacifist behaviour from countries like Turkey or even Afghanistan, they are incredibly aggressive to anyone who threatens their interests - especially anyone that violates their sovereignty

I mean, what if we actually want to keep TTP around to earn protection money from US?

That's why probably F-16's were used last year to bomb Afghan targets to show US the ongoing usefulness of such platform. If smart loitering munitions would have been used to take out Afghan targets, that may put ongoing technical support for F-16s from US in jeopardy.
