[Inception-06]

The Pakistan Army Air Defence Command, )Urdu: ﺁرمى أير ڈفينص كامانڈ; Army Defence Command, abbreviated as (II)ADC), is an active military administrative combatant staff corps of the Pakistan Army and a major combative formation tasked with air defences of the country from the foreign threats. The Corps is stationed and headquartered at the Chaklala Army Cantonment in Rawalpindi, Punjab Province of Pakistan.

The command was formed after military exercise when the Pakistani military learned of its weakness in providing air cover to a moving battlefield.

Chapter One_anti-aircraft guns in service with the Pakistani Air Defence. Why we are still using the AA-Guns ?
​

This AA units provide mobile point and limited area defence capabilities against opposing aircraft and helicopters,Drones.

Experience in the Vietnam War shows that the weapon is particularly effective against flow-flying target at altitudes between 450m and 1,500m. When used in groups, the weapon could provide not only intensive anti-aircraft fire power, but also violent psychological effects on aviation crews to reduce their effectiveness. The PLA has also been studying the use of AAA in intercepting low-flying cruise missiles.

Then there are sensitive targets which are surrounded all around with mixed AAA battlegroups. Such targets are in or near mountains, which makes for aircraft, trying to attack from far away, difficult as there r mountains and other obastacles in the way, hence these aircraft have to drop their loads when very near the target. For them, these AAA groups, with their limited range, are used.

Troops of the Pakistani para-military force stand alert with their anti-aircraft gun placed outside the National Oil Refinery, Wednesday, June 23, 1999 in Karachi. Guns were also placed at all the airports of the country as Pakistan allegedly fears a possible attack by India.

The Main anti-aircraft guns in Pakistan air defence are:

Type 56 (Chinese ZPU-4 copy)
In firing position, the towed 14.5mm anti-aircraft gun is lowered onto firing jacks. It can be brought in and out of action in about 15 to 20 seconds, and can be fired with the wheels in the traveling position if needed. The series was used during the Korean War by Chinese and North Korean forces, and was later considered to be the most dangerous opposition to U.S. helicopters inVietnam.


Type 74
The Type 74 is an improved variant of the Type 65 introduced in 1974. The weapon share the same 37mm cannon and ammunitions as the Type 65, but can be operated either manually or remotely by the fire-control unit consisting of an electro-optical director and a target searching radar. This enables the weapon to operate under day/night, all-weather conditions

Pakistan desperately needs a 21st century Air Defence System and not the II World War Ack Ack gun shown in the OP's Post.

It is from 1999, and its the second line of Air Defence, plz read, it is manned by Paramilitary Forces and this guns are still effective against low flying Helicopters, Drones, missiles and targets at the ground !

The Pakistani 37mm and 57mm systems are still capable of causing considerable damage (in combination with a exelent air defence networke) on enemy ground and air Targets !

My good come down, always this childish comments here...I have enough, Its my time what I spent here to collect all this pcitures and Information, to post it for all the PDF and foreign readers....and than I must read such stupid comments:"Stop showing all the weak stuff"...I will leave PDF its wasted time !

I just wanted to create a written documentary about the Pakistan Air defence !
This is only chapter-one( chapter one starts with AA Guns.....later I will come to SAM and the modern stuff)

Did you not read my intru And who are you to stop me ^^ ? weak stuff ? Did you not read my introduction and description why this AA Guns are still in service ? Do you know anything about airdefence-networke ?

Calm down there boy , relax no one is stopping you carry on no need to get crazy yes I do know about air defense and much more this is why I stated what I did most of what you posted is not in service with PA so I told you to do the research you made the thread now do the correct work , it was not meant in any bad way simply good luck .

Are the 37mm AA Type-74 AA Guns really out of service ? Because GIDS has made upgraded electronics and optics for this Guns, which was als presented on Pakistani Ideas show 2012:

AUTOMATIC FIRE CONTROL SYSTEM
Up-gradation of 37mm Anti Aircraft Gun

The original 37mm twin barrel AD gun has been upgraded in order to meet the present combat threats. The upgraded gun with its new firing system gives a unique combination of modern technology resulting in a very reliable weapon system. Capable to track high speed targets coupled with auto ranging. The gun can be operated in three modes, i.e. joystick, handheld fire control and laser aiming sight.

• Sunlight viewable alpha numeric displays
• Provision of interfacing with multiple guns (optional)
• Off Gun tracking of target for stability
• Computer aided leveling
• Smart electronics for gun control
• Power electronics for motors
• Limit switch for safety arc range
• Emergency stop
• Motors for azimuthal & elevation movements
• Horizontal and vertical shaft encoder
• Fire safety switch

Pakistan use many type of very efficient radar guided gun systems which are still very effective against low to medium level point defense but 21st century warfare demand for advance net centric air defense which must have good radars with missiles not just guns.

Pakistan army must look into system like SL-AMRAAM or similar Chinese system so they can reduce their dependence on PAF, and in future Longewala 1971 type situation can be avoided.

Also short range Surface Launched IR guided missiles like AIM-9 or PL-5E etc mixed with SL-AMRAAM type missiles and AAA like Oerlikon, Skyguard will provide good air cover against all type of air born threats and also SEAD pacakage of enemy will find it difficult to handle as IR guided missiles can not be detected until they are launched.
