Pakistan Army Officially Inducted LY-80 MR-SAM System

[Zarvan]

Are you guys really from PDF or know anything about Pakistan armed forces ??

Plz don't indulge in discussion if you don't know what you are talking about.

Sir this is the claim of PAF head of Air Defence. PAF personal may not be direct operators but overall it's there responsibility

 

[CrusherChamp]

How can you not support Pak???? My top romantic reasons:
1. Two nation theory: direct application of the Nizam-i Ilahi reserved for Roz-i Hashr in this Dunya.
2. Ayyildiz (Sitara ve Hilal) in green: the red one belongs to Turkey. Together they were the parts of the Coat of Arms of the Osmanli Saltanat.
3. National anthem: Saya-i Huda-i Zul Jelal.
4. Pak Ordu.
5. The last but not the least - Rahmetli Jinnah. What a statesman!!!! His ability to understand and implement Hakikat in the realm of Siyaset belongs only to the topmost Muslim leadership in the entire Islamic history. "Do you want a rich England under Germany or a poor England indpendent?" - not a rhetoric uttered by a Muslim leader in the last 200 years!!!

Feeling proud. Thanks bro

8 batteries x 3 launchers in each battery x 6 missiles per launcher = (8x3x6) = 144 missiles ready in tubes

Wrong. Each system has 1 search radar, 1 command vehicle and 2-4 batteries or Firing Units (3 in case of Pakistan). Each battery or FU has 4 launchers.

Pakistan has purchased 8 IBIS-150 radars for LY-80. So, number of batteries will be 8 x 3 = 24
No of launchers will be 24 x 4 = 96
No of ready-to-launch missiles will be 96 x 6 = 576

There were some reports suggesting that Pakistan will be producing these systems in Pakistan. Does anyone know anything about that ?

The Pakistan Army has inducted the Chinese-built LY-80 self-propelled surface-to-air missile (SAM) system, according to a 12 March statement issued by Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the media wing of the Pakistan Armed Forces.

General Qamar Javed Bajwa, the Pakistan Army's chief of staff, was quoted by ISPR as saying at the induction ceremony that the low-to-medium altitude air defence system is set to increase Pakistan's "response capability to current and emerging air defence threats".

The LY-80 is the export variant of the HQ-16 SAM system, which is used by China's People's Liberation Army.

The basic LY-80 unit consists of a command-and-control (C2) cell made up of a surveillance radar vehicle and a C2 vehicle and three firing batteries.

Each firing battery consists of a tracking and guidance radar vehicle and four vertical launchers each armed with a missile pack containing six launchers.

Yaar Army has what radars except the Girafe radars for the Orliekon guns ?

Plz share with me the name of the radars which Army has except those shown on each 23rd March parade which are for the 35mm Orliekon guns.



Which system ??

LY-80E

PA is looking for upgrade or replacement of Giraffe radar system, Rapid Fire or Pantsir systems have potential to do that, although new Giraffe 4 & 8 AESA radars are very potent system and can be integrated in Pakistani air defence.

I think I missed to account for the firing units in my calculation.
Your number is correct.
I believe this is the Pakistani config of a battery.

1 battery = 3 firing units
1 firing unit = 4 launchers
1 Launcher = 6 missiles
1 battery = 72 missiles
8 batteries = 576 missiles

Wrong. Each system has 1 search radar, 1 command vehicle and 2-4 batteries or Firing Units (3 in case of Pakistan). Each battery or FU has 4 launchers.

Pakistan has purchased 8 IBIS-150 radars for LY-80. So, number of batteries will be 8 x 3 = 24
No of launchers will be 24 x 4 = 96
No of ready-to-launch missiles will be 96 x 6 = 576

A battery is smallest independently operating system so 1 search radar plus min 1 tracking radar plus launchers so in the above figure 1 IBS-150 plus 1 tracking/guidance radar and 4 launchers is one battery or you can have more than one guidance and more than 4 launchers tied to IBS-150

Max battery/unit is dependent Upon IBS-150

1 system = 3 batteries or Firing Units.

The one significance of this system is that it will not allow IAF to launch SFW CBU-105s over battlefield against PA formations.

Lolx it looks more effective for infantry than Armour.

Recently, Pakistan's Daily Economic News in its August 17, 2016 issue of the annual publication, the exposure of a Pakistani defense products sector 2014 to 2015 between the equipment procurement list, a list of exposure of the Pakistan Once again to China to purchase six sets of LY-80 surface-to-air missile system, as to why say "again" please slowly look down. LY-80 (Falcon-80) is the Chinese version of the red flag-16 air defense missile system, from the list of exposure can be clearly seen that the value of this purchase contract 373 million US dollars, that is, each price 6000 Ten thousand U.S. dollars.

Pakistan media exposure of the 14-15 purchase list, the red box for the LY-80 air defense system procurement details

In addition to this exposure of the 2014-2015 Pakistan national defense procurement list exposure of six sets of red flag -16 air defense system procurement projects, Pakistani users also attached to Pakistan from 2013 to 2014, the list of national defense procurement, surprising Yes, which also appeared in the red flag -16 procurement projects, as shown below, the list includes three sets of red flag -16 air defense system, the total contract price of 225 million US dollars, in addition to eight sets of IBIS-150 type 3D target instructions Radar, the total contract price of 40 million US dollars, and the radar is used for the red flag -16 air defense system, indicating that the exposure of the procurement contract is clearly 2013 - 2014 procurement project follow-up contract.

Red flag -16 is a medium-sized medium-range air defense missile system developed by China to cover the defensive vacancies left by the Red Flag -9 long-range air defense system and the Red Flag-7 short-range air defense system. It is mainly used for air defense, The bridge, and so on, has been equipped with a large number of PLA troops, and the development of a large number of carrier-based equipment in 054A frigates, so that its combat power as much as some of the country's destroyers. It is believed that the missile technology used by the Red Flag-16 air defense system is derived from the Shiquili air defense missile mounted on the modern type of destroyer from Russia, and its land-based type is the well-known beech air defense system. But in addition to the missile missile similar to the red flag-16 missile system and beech air defense system is very different, the red flag-16 with high mobility Taian 6X6 drive TA5350 military truck chassis instead of crawler chassis, missiles stored in the launch tube, And the use of vertical launch mode, the radar is also installed independently in a TA5350 military chassis, the overall performance than beech air defense missiles.The basic LY-80 unit consists of a command control room and three transmitters. It is reported that LY-80 in 3.5 km to 40 km range against air targets. The maximum and minimum target heights are 15,000 meters and 15 meters respectively. The system is based on a semi-active radar guided single-level missile, from the vertical launch pad for cold emission.

Red Flag-16 air defense system missile range of up to 40 km, the maximum shot up to 18 km, both to combat low-altitude flight targets can also hit the target of high-altitude flight, can effectively defend the flight height of 3.5 to 18 km cruise missiles, The missile for the general attack on the aircraft hit rate of 85% for cruise missiles hit rate of 60%. A complete red flag-16 air defense system consists of four launch vehicles, a command vehicle, two radar vehicles, as well as missile transport and loading vehicles, as well as power cars, a full set of systems used in the chassis are produced by Tai'an military vehicles TA5350 type 6X6 high mobile chassis.

Red Flag-16 is equipped with missile guidance and target illuminated radar car

IBIS-150 3D target indicator radar

Although the Red Flag-16 air defense system missile range is only 40 km, but in addition to a missile guide and target multi-function phased array radar, the other equipped with IBIS-150 3D (three coordinate) target indicates the maximum radar detection range Reaching 150 km, this radar using passive phased array antenna, can detect up to 144 targets at the same time, while tracking 48 of them, anti-saturation combat capability is very strong, and can with the red flag -9 remote air defense system to achieve information exchange , That is, to guide the red flag -9 air defense system launch missile attack target.

Baststan won the red flag -16 air defense system is a foregone conclusion, and its enemies in India, this has been clamoring to go beyond the country of China, so far the main air defense or the Soviet Union 50s of last century R & D S-125 " Missiles, although relying on the introduction of advanced radar from Israel system, to improve the combat power, but after all, too long years of research and development, met the basic electromagnetic interference has become a fire stick. And recently India's own research and development success of the Akashi air defense missile is just a copy of the Soviet Union in the 1960s developed the SAM-6 air defense missile, the missile began to imitate in 1980, after 30 years of long years to 2016 only Imitation success, but also because the cost is too high military do not want to get orders.

In addition to the introduction of red flag-16 medium-range air defense system, it is believed that the introduction of red flag-9 remote air defense system, after all, Pakistan has hundreds of three generations of fighters with India's air defense pressure is still great, and China has Red-9 air defense system of foreign trade version FD-2000 successfully exported to Turkmenistan, and for this demand Pakistan China will certainly make every effort to meet the demand, if no accident red flag -9 air defense system will soon be exported to Pakistan The So that China's high-end air defense system will gradually open the international market
