We have got PANTSIR for the reason that it is a hybrid system, it has 12 missiles on one vehicle with a range of 20 Kms and radio command guidance , the guns are secondary weapons with range of 4 Kms. Even in PANTSIR for firing of guns the system needs to be stopped and jacks lowered. However for missiles, it can fire while moving.
Nopes dear. Unit has bee raised, OEM trg at Russia done, it was to be delivered in January as you say, but Covid-19 has delayed everything.
A whole regiment.
in the presence of Pantsir S-1 why PA will go for this system it is almost same in terms of working and employment philosophy .... ???Just a suggestion, i think someone ought to open a new thread for Chinese FK-1000 GM SP System. Reasons will become obvious in the near future...very near maybe.

only as per rumors no confirmation as of yet .....So we bought S1 version
The Pakistan Army at least a had a mobile SAM requirement, but we won't know what the final selection will be until we see it. However, it seems like a deal with someone (Russia or China) was signed a couple of years ago for sure.
I think an MoDP official told TASS that there's interest in the FD-2000. IMO they're past evaluating that system -- likely at the stage of trying to secure funding to buy 3-4 batteries.That is correct
We should start receiving the first batch of batteries before the end of the year, but not sure if the timelines have been pushed out due to Covid.
Any insight into if we returned the FT2000 batteries back to China or did we decide to keep them?
I hope we wait till HQ 9C rolls outI think an MoDP official told TASS that there's interest in the FD-2000. IMO they're past evaluating that system -- likely at the stage of trying to secure funding to buy 3-4 batteries.
The really interesting thing to see is whether the FD-2000 is an Army-only acquisition (since it can seamlessly link those with its mostly Chinese ADGE), or if the PAF and PN will follow. I wonder if the PAF might look to acquire the CAMM-ER and/or SAMP/T instead.
