PAF's possible answer to MRCA

[SBD-3]

and i think its been confirmed by a magazine that the mki will get aesa, 3d tvc, supercruise, smart skin, and new avionics.

evidence for this?

2 mki's sent to irkut to be strengthened to fire brahmos, they'll arrive back in 2011, does it really take 2 years to strengthen a frame? something must be up.

if you would have red wiki it was stated over there that Brahmos arming project was taking difficulties due to enormus weight of this missile and MKIs would also be there for upgrades package testing prior to induction in MKI fleet???

WHICH fighter WOULD FIRE babar

 

[SBD-3]

c130 WOULD FIRE BABUR;-)

We have Ra'ad why do we need Babur???

perhaps he means to say RAAD as most of the people take RAAD as the airlaunched Babur missile!

i think pakistan should buy state of the art SAM system to counter Indians it is not expansive and easy to maintain and most feariest war machine against fighter jets S-300.S-400 or patriotic missile system

i dont think so... the aesa, avionics, and higher thrust engines aren't cheap and would raise the price of the j-10 to 50-60 million a piece considering it costs 41 million today. and since china's aesa is quite new and there aren't economies of scale it should be at least 5 million a piece, and non-chinese avionics aren't cheap either look at the mirage 2000 upgrade 20 million a piece.

also noone knows real specs of j-10.

WTF? How do you expect anybody to take you seriously if you keep telling us the exact price of the latest Chinese equipment while admitting nobody knows anything about their specifications? Then you compare the cost of a Chinese aeroplane to the cost of a French aeroplane.

LoLz! that was intresting!
perhaps someone from the chines defence industry can get some help from these comparisons to improve there projets and the resulting equipments!

but with the more sophisticated avionics the price tag should go up an AESA and avionics add up to cost, the more sophisticated AVios the higher the price tag even though I dont think it would go into 60s but preety much chance of landing into early to mid 50s

What makes you think they won't?

The chinese HQ-9 (FD-2000) still lacks the range of S-300 PMU2 but is at par or greater then the PMU1 according to some sources. Its already available for export so the possibility of us buying it or an enhanced version of it is good.

is it something different from FT-2000????

i take it to be a case of miss typing and actually he meant the FT2000!

yes

FD-2000 is the export name of the chinese HQ-9. The FT-2000 is a different missile though believed to be closely related to the HQ-9.

The FT-2000 has a broadband passive radar target seeker (passive homing) that can detect the electromagnetic emanations from the adversary early warning and electronic jamming planes and shoot them down by tracing signals. This makes it more "stealthy" since it doesn't emit signals of its own and hence difficult to detect. he FT-2000 has a maximum range of 12-100 kilometers, a firing altitude of 3-20 kilometers, a missile length of 6.8 meters and a diameter of 466 millimeters. Its also sometimes called the "AWACS killer".


The FD-2000, on the other hand is simply the export name of the HQ-9. HQ-9 is designed to be a long-range SAM to counter high-performance aircraft, cruise missiles, air-to-surface missiles (ASMs), and tactical ballistic missiles (TBMs). The missile’s range for aircraft targets is 7-125 kilometers, its firing altitude is 0.025-27 kilometers. Range for other targets vary. The HQ-9’s guidance system is composed of inertia plus uplink and active radar terminal guidance systems and has a claimed response time of 15 seconds and is capable of dealing with 48 targets simultaneously.


Hope that clears it up.

Hope that clears it up.

I wish JF and FC-20 would have something like Zvezda Kh-31 (AS-17 Krypton)

hmmm. that clears it!
thankyou!

the FT2000 is also sadi to be developed from the HQ9 and S300 and i supposed a lethal weapon!

anyway, thanks again!
