US departure from Afghanistan. Let the Indians make a move. Along with fencing we can expect some lethal air support.

What happened to Pakistans indigenous MALE and HALE drones?

Let's see if Pakistan will use these items to take out enemy actors in Afghanistan with the consent of the Afghan Government ofcourse post 11 September 2021.

It will create a very powerful globaly recognised military detterent for Pakistan. A detterent which the Gremlins in the East won't have without access to an active battlefield.

What happened to Pakistans indigenous MALE and HALE drones?

Still being developed. This heavy duty UCAV was needed now.

Need at least 15 in Balochistan. They can be called whenever an ambush happens.

WING LOONG II UCAV (48)

• Certainly helpful purchase to keep an eye out on outskirts of cities and also keep an eye on unseen areas

A combination of K-8 , and Wing Long II UCAV is ideal combination for manned and unmanned patrols
the K-8 platform could be better utilized as well for Armed patrol


One Wing Long , has 32 hour endurance that is a whole day up in air !! While a Human Pilot can may be fly a plane for few hours before refueling , the Unmanned unit's pilot can just switch over 4 hour shift change

In addition to @Dalit , the maturity of technology. We have been chasing a credible UCAV for more then a decade now. Sensitive technology like this takes time to develop and mature.

We need these assets up in the air in Balochistan and FATA.

 

[Muhammad Omar]

Any official induction ceremony etc or a tweet by PAF??? is this official?

 

[Neurath]

Good purchase, hope our own UAV comes out soon. These 2 will complement eachother well.

Not sure. I would've thought these were straight off-the-shelf purchases.
