its a surface to air missile with 100km range (61miles) - why do we need such...

Due to Indian ARM inventory which is becoming more sophisticated and increasing day by day. Do you want short or medium range SAMS to be taken out by 70-80 KM range Indian ARM?

Sir that looks like Casa Cn235; check wing span and horizontal stabilizers. Few Cn235s are getting dark grey color scheme these days.

If a U-2 was there it would have looked like this...

I'd still stick with a Fokker. Have a look at the engines nacelles on the CN-235 and the length of the same in the photo, along with the general span of the wings and tail.

Doesn't look like a Cn-235 ...
The engine length is leading behind the wing, while CASA engines are small.
Moreover CASA's wing tips are identically different than other Pakistani twin propeller-engine aircraft, the plane in picture have flat wingtips.
Its probably a F-27.

To keep the enemy strike aircraft high up and away where they can be engaged by our fighters. Plus, they bring the added benefits of ABM system as well.
