Pakistan Army Officially Inducted LY-80 MR-SAM System

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

Certainly an Epic moment between Pakistan - China cooperation

 

[PaklovesTurkiye]

Pakistan should go for eastern and western combo in weapon systems of all armed forces...

American C130 plane, Chinese parachute and Russian gun.....with our soldiers...Thats hell of diversity...

 

[S A L M A N.]

What are the specs of the HQ-9?
I'm asking because it will be the logical next addition to Pakistan's Air Defense infrastructure.

 

[Water Car Engineer]

Btw, Barak 8 is an Israeli made, Indian bought missile.

LRSAM/Barak 8 is a JV. It's dual-pulse motor is Indian, modified version of the dual pulse motor will also go into the upcoming anti radiation and Astra Mark 2 missiles.

Spoiler

And it is made in India, will be produced in large numbers because it's used by the IN and IA.

Akash missile production is currently around 60 missiles a month, going to 100. Hard to guess LRSAM monthly rate, but it'll have to meet demands of IN and IA.

News covered by International media too.

In worst case senario if PAF cover is not available then now PA have 3 layer air defence for battlefield, 1st MR-SAM, 2nd SR-SAMs, 3rd radar / IR guided AAAs & MANPADS, which makes things much better then before.

PLA using HQ-16.

Can you please translate it into English.

Wait for the War.

Good point brother[emoji12]

I hope its LY-80E not basic LY-80 version.

How much range this system has.i mean how far from this system can intercept opponent.thanks

How much range this system has.i mean how far from this system can intercept opponent.thanks

If its HQ-16A (which Chinese member say it is) then max range is 50km and altitude may be 25 km.

 

[BHarwana]

If its HQ-16A (which Chinese member say it is) then max range is 50km and altitude may be 25 km.

And AAM range of 60 km.

 

[Akasa]

There are three variants of the HQ-16B: the "A", "B", and also "C" variant.
The HQ-16B incorporates both SARH and active radar homing mode and an increased range of 70 kilometers, while the HQ-16C is a naval-specific variant with an export designation of "LY-80N".

The difference between the HQ-16A and HQ-16B can be noted by the naked eye, so it shouldn't be very difficult to determine which variant Pakistan has ordered. (HQ-16A on the left, HQ-16B on the right)

No SARH missiles have a very very tough time intercepting a supersonic cruise missiles . Prove it otherwise

The HQ-16B incorporates both ARH & SARH modes.

 

[BHarwana]

The HQ-16 launcher is based on Taian TA5350 6x6 special wheeled chassis. The TEL carries 6 containers with missiles. Missiles are launcher vertically. Two missiles can be launched within a short period of time.

A battery of the HQ-16 consists of four launcher vehicles, command post, two radar vehicles, missile transport and reloading vehicles, power supply vehicles and so on. Most of them are based on the same 6x6 high mobility chassis.

The radar detects enemy aircraft at a range of 140 km and altitude of 20 km. The radar can detect up to 144 and track up to 48 targets simultaneously.

 

[EndangeredSpecies]

Yes it was bought 3 years back and today officially inducted in PA
HQ16 and export name is LY 80 system
Range around 100 km

http://www.armyrecognition.com/chin...data_sheet_specifications_pictures_video.html

It seems it is more like 40 KM range. Though it flies at 3 MACH numbers.

If it is LY-80, it is HQ-16A.

http://www.janes.com/article/63500/china-develops-longer-range-hq-16-sam-variant

HQ-16B was officially anonunced in september. I doubt it can be inducted earlier in Pakistani forces before even Cheeni forces get it. Some folks are claiming that Pakistani forces got it about 1-2 years back which fits with HQ-16A better.

 

[BHarwana]

It seems it is more like 40 KM range. Though it flies at 3 MACH numbers.

The interceptor has a 40km range but the RADAR and Interceptor units are separate. The radars are Usually kept deep in the territory and Interceptor batteries are kept close to the border hidden that provides more range

 

[Bussard Ramjet]

It travels at Mach-3 has a 85% single shot kill probability against aircraft and 60% against cruise missiles, now if it was launched in salvos....it's an over kill.

Also read the subtext.

It says that those stats for cruise missiles are for missiles flying at 50m height and certain speeds, and definitely not counting the terminal maneuvering.

HQ16b can be field against cruise missile and ballistic missile.

The HQ16A (LY-80) missile can intercept an aerial flying target from an 15 m to 18 km of altitude, while its maximum interception range for combat aircraft is 40km, and between 3.5 km and 12 km for cruise missiles flying at an altitude of 50 meters at a speed of 300 meters/second. Single-shot kill probability is a claimed figure of 85 per cent against combat aircraft, and 60 per cent against cruise missiles.

This above is what is written.

Brahmos travels much faster than 300 m/s, flies at lower altitudes than 50 m, and maneuvers.

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.

Umm.. Pakistan doesn't really have the technical capacity right now to get into any "state of the art" defense systems.

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

And you think only finding it on a Chinese forum confirms this!
