Pakistan Bulk Buying CH-4 Killer Drones From China

[Zapper]

Is this purchase real? First I heard it from an Indian source and from that alone I am doubtful of its credibility

I read in another defence forum that Pak is looking towards Turkish UCAVs over the Chinese...similar to the T-129 ATAK route over Z-10

I have showed you leniency by removing negative ratings issued to you for your off-tropic/trolling posts in this thread, but you will not be granted this favor next time. Absolutely refrain from off-topic/trolling and derailing threads please.

Stick to the topic please - discuss the alleged acquisition and specs of the CH-4 by Pakistan.

There are multiple threads on the acquisition or potential acquisition from Turkey and China - bringing up the same old 'quality of this or quality of that' is not helpful or constructive.

The various arms of the military are always exploring and analyzing different options that are available and different products from different countries that can satisfy different requirements.

CH-4 apparently going out of favor, Arab's probably were unable to maintain them as according to this article number of active export units decreasing. Being piston engine driven these would be maintenance heavy.

China has better drones and for LOC these would be easy to shoot down by India. For western front these would be great but for eastern front Pakistan needs to look at low observable UCAVs/Satellites. Can also go really small and discrete as well launch recover from forward bunkers.

Anything that requires maintenance is a Dead Bag in middle east due to no expertise and local mindfulness
