And why is a must ?

1. anti-tank
2. anti bunker
3. anti helicopter
4. anti personal
5. COIN
6. LOC/afghani border deployment
7. etc etc

This is a top attack like Javelin with extra features like lock on after launch, update target after launch.

RAWALPINDI: Pakistan Army has airlifted an ailing Polish mountaineer from K2 base camp to Skardu, abruptly ending his expedition owing to a disease.

Waldemar Kowalewski’s ascent to the K2 summit was cut short after he complained about a hernia that developed during a load-carrying trip to advanced K2 base camp. He was a part of the biggest international SST K2 winter expedition.

An Army Aviation helicopter evacuated the afflicted Polish climber from the world’s second-tallest mountain to Skardu, where he is being treated for hernia.

This is the second time that Kowalewski has attempted to ascent K2 — the worlds famed second-highest peak — in winter.

Sadly, both of his expeditions have ended early and abruptly due to injuries. In winter 2018-19, he was hit by a chunk of ice on his way to Camp-1.

Pakistan's northern area is considered as an ideal destination for adventure tourists who throng to the country to scale its high-altitude peaks.

Every year foreign mountaineers visit Gilgit-Baltistan, also called the "mountaineers' paradise", as five of the world's 8,000m-plus peaks are located in the region, including K-2. Unfortunately, several tragic incidents also occur to the expeditions during their missions.

In February 2020, Pakistan Army rescued two foreign climbers trapped in the country's eastern Karakoram mountain range in the Himalayas, according to Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).

"Pakistan Army Aviation pilots rescued two foreign mountain climbers, Mr. Donald Allen Bowie (USA) and Ms. Lotta Henriikka Nakyva (Finland) from Broad Peak, Baltoro Glacier … part of an International Winter Expedition attempting to summit Broad Peak but stranded en route due to sickness,", said the military’s media wing.

In 2019, two British mountaineers trapped near the Koyo Zom peak in the Chitral district were retrieved by the army.

In 2018, French mountaineer Elisabeth Revol was rescued from Nanga Parbat, after getting trapped there while trying to summit the peak.

Is it fnf?

Is it fnf?

not just, Fire and Forget, it can fire and lock on after launch. It can change target in mid air and lock on to another high value target if detected. if I forgot to mention it can do top attack like Javelin and do direct attack like older ATGM's

Fnf and top attack is something PA should get. And as far as lock on after launch is concerned, it is a pretty old technique used by troops to give minimum reaction time to the tank crew to change the angle of incidence/ expose the most well protected part of the tank to the missile

Pakistan, US reaffirm pledge to work for Afghan peace

05 Jan 2021

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan and the United States on Monday reaffirmed their commitment to continue cooperating with each other for peace in Afghanistan.

The resolve was expressed in a statement issued by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) after a meeting between Army Chief Gen Qamar Bajwa and US Special Representative for Afghan Reconciliation Amb Zalmay Khalilzad.

“During the meeting matters of mutual interest including overall regional security situation with particular reference to ongoing Afghan reconciliation process were discussed,” the ISPR said.
“Both reaffirmed the commitment towards the common goal of peace and stability in the region and agreed on continued engagement at multiple levels,” it added.

The meeting took place a day before the intra-Afghan talks are set to resume in Qatar’s capital Doha after a three-week recess. The two sides were negotiating the agenda of the talks when they went on the break.

The talks started in September and progressed at a snail’s pace before the two sides were able to agree on the ‘principles and procedures’. The dialogue has, moreover, so far taken place under the shadows of increased violence.

Taliban have been refusing to discuss ceasefire and are believed to be instead using violence as a leverage during talks. The Afghan government negotiating team is, meanwhile, expected to once again push for ceasefire when the talks resume.

Taliban, meanwhile, also accuse US forces of carrying out air strikes against them in violation of the Feb 2020 agreement signed between them, which paved the way for the start of intra-Afghan dialogue and phased withdrawal of US forces from Afghanistan.

The US has reduced the number of its troops from nearly 12,000 in February last year to about 2,500 currently. The plan is to complete the withdrawal by May if things on the ground improve. It is unclear if incoming US President Joe Biden would abide by the agreement with Taliban or would insist on keeping back a residual force.

Pakistan provided extensive cooperation to the US first in reaching an agreement with Taliban and later in overcoming the hurdles that came in the way at subsequent stages.

“The visiting dignitary acknowledged Pakistan’s ongoing efforts for enduring peace in Afghanistan and the region,” the ISPR said.

sorry how many systems on the battlefield employ what you have called an old technique?

It is not a capability of the weapon system but the skill of the operator. All the atgms especially wire guided can do this if the operators are well trained. What it requires is that you either put rhe laser beam on an object near the tank so that the tank crew isn't alarmed by the laser detection system and when the missile is half way through direct the laser beam on the tank so that the crew will have least possible reaction time. This is what tank crews also do when the fire atgms

this system is not wire guided, what you are talking about is techniques used with older SACLOS ATGM's. SACLOS dont have the kind of ability this system does.

My dear sir, I haven't compared this atgm with any other the only thing I said was that lock on after firing is nothing new. That's it, and as far as this system is concerned Hj12 is better, being lighter and man portable. This may be used to replace hj8 and TOW which we may not see any time soon. Moreover we have been testing these haven't we?

I give up.

Just wanted to ask, we were testing these, right?
