Pakistan Army Officially Inducted LY-80 MR-SAM System

[Qutb-ud-din Aybak]

Its good for PA because now they have better layered air cover over battle field and installations although their is still margin for improvement.



Yes, its export version, hope its LY-80E latest export version.

probably LY 80E as it was exported to bangladesh too and we have more close relations.

This is actually based on earlier BUK system and China produced this variant for export.

Chinese may have learned from Buk system but LY-80 is different please google specs of both systems.

I think PAF already have LY-80Es.

and the range is 50-70km.

How high it can hit? Can it handle supersonic missile threats? If compared to Buk-M3 where it stands?



Buk is different system then LY-80, later is VLS which earlier is not.

It can hit 25 KM high. HQ16b can intercept Brahmos, confirmed! I search it on Chinese forum.

 

[Qutb-ud-din Aybak]

Good to see we are serious in defense matter but I am not impressed we should build our own state of the art system it is just a copy of old Russian BUK missile system.

improved copy.

 

[Windjammer]

How effective it will be against Brahmos as India will use it as primary standoff weapon?

I think PA has created a layered air defence which they think can handle what India can throw at them.

Brahmos is no headache for PA.

For those who think LY-80 is copy of Buk systems.

But can you confirm the sale of "B" version to Pakistan?

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

Certainly one of the better looking weapons we have launched in recent memory

 

[Basel]

Brahmos is no headache for PA.

Why? India can launch salvos of those against targets in Pakistan specially fixed targets.

All I know is HQ16b is clear for export to Pakistan since year 2014. By logic, it should be HQ16b.

If I were PAF chief, I will induct HQ16b. Why not?

Hope you are right. It should be good system because Russia was also pushing Pantsir S-1 & Buk M-2/3 (M-3 can hit high upto 35 km altitude and more mobile then LY-80) to Pakistan don't know what happened to it.

 

[Fu huajiao]

thanks,learn a lot.

HQ16b is available to PAF three years ago, it's their choice. As to Russia platform, I don't want to comment.

I think the hit altitude of 25 KM is more than enough.

 

[war&peace]

ok good

 

[Windjammer]

Designated ''Hasan'', it seems the system is beyond the 45 Km range.

'Hasan' (LY-80 SAM system) will provide much needed defence umbrella to Pakistan's strategic assets from rival India @OfficialDGISPR
