Pakistan Aeronautical Complex to joint-manufacture 48 Wing Loong II UCAV

[YeBeWarned]

damn that payload ...

400 drones vs S 400

drones are good to swamp a SAM but not a freaking WL-2 with that cost attach to it ... rather use burraq or other locally made Drones . this Drone will most likely will be used against possible ISIS positions or gathering near PAK-AFG border ..

48 isn't too much? Why would Pakistan need so UCAV . However whatever the number induction of wing long will boast Pakistan capabilities against internal and external threats .

how many S400 India is buying

SSG wanted them for special operations. Imagine a bird flying in a 20^2km circle around an SSG team for 30hrs, providing real time intel and ability to strike any non line of sight threat to the SSG team emanating from behind hills, valleys or other natural obstacles.

This would eliminate the need to call in vipers which can only remain on station for 3 hours before having to refuel and to bring a new pilot in the cockpit. WL-II carries IR guided missiles and Small Diameter Bombs.

It can also carry small but deadly accurate LGBs with laser beaming being done by the craft itself rather than using an SOF guy for painting targets.

It can also be made to carry ELINT, IMINT, SAR or RF Jamming payload. Add its loiter time and you'd have a much less requirement to use those King Airs or DB-110s.

indeed highly needed, if the platform is matured than this is more important than gunships, as major offense is over
but we dont see confirmed news

5 for 5.43 billion dollar.

5 for 5.43 billion dollar.

I think its 5 batteries but number of missiles is 40, so 48 drones will do the trick

 

[BERKEKHAN2]

*6000 missiles

*6000 missiles

did you put Modi on sale?

 

[xyxmt]

Naah we are not like Pakistan

you are right Pakistan will surely sell Modi

Nope The S400 mostly uses missiles from the older S300 family of SAMs like the 48N6 that can be quadstacked on the TELs, which gives each launcher 4 missiles on alert and each battery 32 missiles. If they use the longer range 40N6 which is unique to the S400 each TEL can only carry 2, limiting each battery to 16 so 48 UAV have to face either 80 to 150 missile.

So it is very cost effective alternative that adds longevity to the mission.

400 drones vs S 400

100 drones equipped with burq missiles will be enough to take it out.

Outstanding news like music to the ears ,its much needed and no 48 is not enough as windy said 24 for each side makes more sense.

I think 48 is the initial number and once we get the production line and rights then we can produce however and whenever we want perhaps by paying licensing depending on the agreement

 

[WarKa DaNG]

What about Burraq or it was just a deception

great news! now Pakistan will be able to deploy enough armed UAV along the border.

 

[帅的一匹]

Pakistan will be the first Muslim state to produce UCAV.

Excellent news
