Pakistan conducted successful flight test of Air Launched Cruise Missile “Ra’ad-II”.

[Dazzler]

Look at those red circles man that's way inside in from our side not even close to border and where we hitting. Bombay is gonna get hit pretty bad.

Now imagine it being launched from FOBs, the ranges will extend further deep inside. Both versions are in active service.

@SIPRA Pajee, now shall come those who will catch fish from pixx... Always ... kiray kaddae nae!

It's a hidden knife in sleeves of Pakistan,even color of operational version is not known to anyone let alone parameters.

People here not discussing the real feature of this missile...it is stealth cruise missile and Indian will only know when this thing will hit them on their heads.

I am not concerned hitting them deep but hitting high value targets on front line with safe distance. Now it seems all possible even they deploy S400. It's not just ads a knock out punch but sends Indians back to drawing boards. A sneaky attack on front air fields with Rafael parked there. This babe just opens all the doors seems hard to open with S400 in play. Top it all we dont buy this, this is our home grown missile. Saving on all fronts. Sending shivers all the way deep inside kufir کفر۔

Next time inshaAllah we need to take the shit out of this Gangu Bully. Only locks wouldnt work.

Stealth cruise missile with conventional and un-conventional warhead a nightmare for India since their S-400 is now in our range either they dare or they have to put them out of range in both cases we denied India the full advantage of S-400.

Cool heads always win. That was in our interest not to kill him or create massive destruction. When time comes Inshallah we will achieve that. All thanks to Almighty we have good brains in top brass and good well spoken PM in our ranks. They have put our country in limelight. It seems Pakistan is so important for world all of sudden.

I never liked the orange color tho. Looks like a sausage if you ask me, they should give it a silver/grey/black color similar to SOM of Turkey

Both Babur and Ra'ad have orange colors,you always see that during testing that's only for visibility purpose.It aids in visibility using lens.

These are known features,it's an ASSASSIN in hands of Govt,there are lot of things this system can do it's deployment with grace of Almighty would be surprise for enemy at many levels.

Very impressive development.

A very significant test! A range of 600km makes it even more interesting. Mid Path Correction makes it even more deadlier!

Consider a scenario.

S-400 picks a target deep within our airspace. As soon as it fires at it, it reveals its position. Being a TEL, the crew will want to pack up and leave the position as per the shoot and scoot strategy. Little they know, their follower (Ra'ad 2) has a mid course correction! Hunter becomes the prey! Ideally for us all the TELs of S-400 battery can fire at the same time to lose all of them within a matter of minutes! And all this, under the big eye of S-400 scanning radar so Gangus can record the proof of its own destruction! $5.4 Billion up in smoke! Game over before it even got started!

CONGRATULATIONS PAKISTAN

Not so fast, my friend.

Pakistani ballistic missiles and cruise missiles are largely committed to strategic applications (to deliver nuclear payloads to potential targets). These are not easy to mass produce due to 'capacity constraints' which are largely overlooked in the Public discourse.

S-400 system feature several launchers and can develop fire solution for multiple targets in one go. India is also expected to complement S-400 system with additional set of defenses - layered defensive strategy.

To counter that, Pakistan might have to subject the location of an S-400 system to a volley of ballistic missiles followed by UAV as well as introduce Ra'ad II cruise missiles in the mix. WE can take cues from the Iranian model of mass producing theater ballistic missiles (TBMs) and UAV for the needful. If this is not easy then Pakistan can try its best to make sure that the costs of waging a WAR with it will remain very high for India for indefinite period.

If several countries (Russia; Israel; France; USA) are committed to enable India to deter China in the long term, I am not sure how strategic balance can be ensured in the region for indefinite period.

Pakistan-China duo is POTENT in theory but China have never gone out of its way to make it possible for Pakistan to defeat India in any WAR before. This might change with CPEC in the picture hopefully but Pakistan need a bigger geopolitical clout wherein it can reach out to Turkey, USA and UK for advanced technologies. Pakistan must devise a comprehensive strategy to fix its dysfunctional economy and develop powerful connections.

Only two reliable partners we have. China and Turkey. Happy to see both developing in military technology

A good coincidence with President Trump’s visit to India!! A good news for the US defense industries. A good job from Pak....

No wonder Turkey is also extending her cruise missile ranges to 800Km....

Bombay /Mumbai is not in that red circle.

 

[monitor]

During its March 23 Pakistan Day Parade, the Pakistan Strategic Plans Division (SPD) officially revealed the Ra’ad 2 (“Thunder 2”) air-launched cruise missile (ALCM).

Described as an improved and extended-range of the 350 km Ra’ad ALCM, which was introduced by Air Weapons Complex (AWC) and the National Engineering and Scientific Commission (NESCOM) in 2007, the Ra’ad 2 has a stated range of 550 km

So Pakistan have successfully extended the range to 600 KM though they had the plane to extend it to 550 KM . So Congratulation on this excellence development .

That circle is just to show the radius, we are not bound to ground or limited to options.
