PAF successfully test-fires indigenously developed long-range smart weapon from JF-17 Thunder

Baidu navigation is standard of pakistan and china.

Slowly pakistan armed forces are leaving american systems which use GPS.
Yes I think the idea is to tell India to stay at distance or we can take out that forward deployment IAF is planning. This will deter India to move back from forward bases and thus de-escalate the situation.
If Su30mki are deployed to forward bases it means that escalation can happen at any time. So showing capability of such weapon would push them back as it makes them venerable.
Looks like rabbits inside Pak's hat are multiplying like, well, rabbits!!!! And, somebody will still come up with BD's GDP #s to feel good....
 
It's Pakistani version of MOAB.
It could be one of these;

Now relate that to smaller, sleeker external fuel tanks … makes sense?

Pakistan tested a smart bomb from JF-17. The bomb is 100% indegnious and developed by pakistan. It is an extended range glide bomb which has been revealed for the first time. The bomb is clasfied and no images have been released of it.

There is the image of shock wave dispersion

I think they will go to round 2 and we need to take them to cleaners if they do
 
Although this weapon has awesome punching power, we also need speed and numbers. Once hostilities start, each side will be focused on delivering as much destruction in as short a time as possible. Pakistan will be at a disadvantage in such a war because of a lack of depth. Thus, stopping attacks from happening in the first place is a big requirement. At the very least, we need jamming of GPS signals in border areas. As the Spice2000 episode shows, it is extremely hard to detect these weapons once released. This means, going on offensive and establishing a no fly zone greater than max range of stand off weapons. That still leaves Brahmos, but hopefully it can at least be detected. Hopefully, HQ-9 can neutralize it as well.
 
Okay, I will tell you guys a little bit more.

The crater suggest this is not just a Mk80 series, but a Kinetic energy penetrator or bunker buster in your speak. Hence the celebration. The development of KEPs (let alone an accurate REK) is a big feat for Pakistan. The shockwave gives it away that the bomb is penetrating before exploding, hence the blast magnification, and plume shape dividing to east and west.

If this has been achieved in the package of a Mk82, its a big feat, as it will ensure that large amount of weapons can be released to engage HVTs in hardened pens.
u mean a Daisy cutter or bunker buster type of a thingie ?
 
Its a standoff weapon to hit HAS and other fortified structures.
Basically, in OCA its designed to bust aircraft in their pens and in Interdiction its designed to bust open enemy fortifications and command bunkers.

From an Indian perspective, it would be most advantageous to engage in a war of attrition against infrastructure. If they are smart, they will not move their army at all. So the former role is more likely. But that presumes smartness on their part.
 
I believe thisnis a GIDS REKS attached to a 2000lbs bomb. The tragectory doesnt match a cruise missile.
 
Might get to find out soon if the IN comes closer to Pak khushbu laga kay :sarcastic: but probably a lot of damage on deck and storage area, though wont sink. Anti ship missiles are a better option - for range, speed, and the potential to sink.

On deck aircraft will be destroyed, their debris and the bomb's crater will prevent any further operations.

Right, explains the need for its pin point accuracy.
