Pakistan successfully tests indigenous drone Burraq and Barq laser guided missile

[MastanKhan]

A humble suggestion to the engineers, Why is the button/joystick panel so high from the table top? it will cause fatigue to the operators. Bring it down to the table top level where operators can rest their wrists.

Hi,

It will ultimatey end up as a flight simulator cockpit type display----.

This development will be on the same level as that of the JF 17----but its effect may be felt sooner. Two sqdrn's of these drones will act as a force multiplier in Fata and Balochistan.

Actually----Balochistan will be the center of activity for these drones---protecting the gas pipeline and electric grid towers.

Some are saying its s joibt venture between China and Pakistan and Turkey

 

[Zarvan]

I am still waiting to hear the technical info about these drones... its operational range, payload it can carry and altitude it can fly etc

Anybody?

Fly upto 22000 ft and two missiles it can carry

Today is just new experimenting to our own drone with missiles testing.

I think, this is not permanent table, it will be improved over times. Our engineers will likely inform PA about this issues and maybe upgrade new software, and keyboards/joysticks if necessary. Just focus on Talidogs to keep them running away in 24/7.

We Indian's get joy to see our little neighbours get happy some times

PS: IT'S nothing pathbreaking advancement india already in possession of much sophisticated Drones from Israel
And even planning for buying more sophisticated drones from Americans.
So both are hands are filled

Wrong.

These are low cost / generally disposable armed drones that will be used in the LoC skirmishes in future.

The expensive stuff from Israel/US etc. will end up not being used.

We need to move fast on getting something comparable. We are behind the curve as this one is a Chinese ToT so likely not as incapable as being made out to be.

Congratulations to all Pakistani's, once again shining against all odds.

Pakistan says it will deploy its own armed drone against terrorists

The global proliferation of armed aerial drones took a major leap forward Friday when Pakistan’s military said it has successfully tested its own version and will soon deploy them against terrorists.
The drone, designated the Burraq, will be equipped with a laser-guided missile capable of striking with pinpoint accuracy in all types of weather, the military said. In the Koran, Burraq is the name of the white horse that took the Islamic prophet to heaven.
Gen. Raheel Sharif, Pakistan’s army chief of staff, witnessed the test and commended the country’s engineers and scientists for “untiring efforts to acquire state-of-the-art technology” that puts “Pakistan in a different league.”
“It’s a great national achievement and momentous occasion,” Sharif said.
Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, who is not related to the army chief, said the weapons would “add a new dimension to Pakistan’s defenses.”
Pakistan’s decision will likely accelerate the already supercharged race among nations to follow in the footsteps of the United States by deploying unmanned aircraft as an instrument of war.
According to the New America Foundation, there is evidence that eight other countries — the United States, South Africa, France, Nigeria, Britain, Iran, Israel and China — have already put weapons onto unmanned aircraft. The United States, Britain and Israel are the only three that have fired a missile from a drone during a military operation, the foundation said.
Dozens of other countries, including Pakistan’s archrival, India, are in the process of developing them, according to the foundation. And last month, the Obama administration said it would permit the export of armed drones to U.S. allies who request them on a “case-by-case basis.”
Peter W. Singer, a senior fellow at the New America Foundation, said Pakistan’s test confirms that the use of drones in warfare is here to stay.
“This is not the start of the race; it’s mile seven of the race,” said Singer, adding that India will probably also be able to quickly deploy an armed drone.
Still, he cautioned, the introduction of drones into Pakistan’s arsenal is not likely to alter the balance of power between the two nuclear-armed countries.
“We are not talking about technology that requires the Manhattan Project,” said Singer, referring to the U.S. effort to build the world’s first nuclear weapon during World War II. “The ability to fire a rocket off a drone is fundamentally different than a global operation where someone sitting in Nevada can fire from a plane 7,000 miles away.”
It was not immediately clear how quickly Pakistan plans to deploy its drones on the battlefield. But the military released a photo showing a dozen of them arrayed in a parking lot. Pakistan’s military said the drone was indigenously produced, but there have been recent reports that it was also seeking drone technology from China.
In November 2013, Pakistan announced that it had developed an unarmed drone. At the time, military leaders said the drone would be used only for surveillance and suggested that they had no plans to arm the craft.
But Pakistan’s military posture changed after the Pakistani Taliban attacked an army-run school in Peshawar in December, killing about 150 students and teachers. After that attack, the military stepped up its campaign against Taliban strongholds in the northwestern part of the country near the border with Afghanistan. On Friday, before it announced the drone test, Pakistan’s military said airstrikes had killed 48 militants in Pakistan’s tribal area near the Afghan border over the previous 24 hours.
Saad Muhammad, a retired brigadier general in the Pakistani army, said the availability of drones will make it far easier for the military to track and kill militants.
“Pakistan is going to be facing this asymmetrical warfare for years to come,” Muhammad said. “There are areas where the state still does not have complete control and the enemy comes into sight for a very little time. . . . It’s very costly to keep fighter planes in the air even for an hour.”
U.S. officials offered no immediate comment on Pakistan’s announcement. Since 2004, U.S drones have been targeting al-Qaeda and other Islamist militants who have found refuge in northwestern Pakistan. Those strikes have killed more than 2,700 people, according to the South Asia Terrorism Portal, which monitors violence in the region.
Pakistani leaders have repeatedly condemned those strikes, saying they have killed scores of civilians and violate the country’s sovereignty.
James L. Cavallaro, director of the International Human Rights and Conflict Resolution Clinic at Stanford University, said Pakistan’s decision to use drones domestically should not absolve it from questions about whether they are moral or a violation of international law.
“Weaponized drones facilitate killing by states,” Cavallaro said. “The weapon is one that raises important concerns about unbridled state power, the ease of killing and imbalance in the principles of risk involved in warfare.”
Pakistan’s drone test was the second major announcement this week from the country’s military about its growing arsenal. On Monday, the military said it had successfully tested a new medium-range ballistic missile capable of carrying a nuclear weapon.
The Shaheen-III missile has a range of 1,700 miles and is capable of carrying a warhead to any part of India as well as deep into the Middle East, including to Israel.

Great achievement. NESCOMM continues to deliver and is in the cross hairs of Indian spys. May Allah keep watch over them.

NS and RS have had a great run here and I hope it continues. Pakistan is truely on the up and up now. Looking forward to March 23.

And the whole truth so help me god.



The main focus is that war with India is a thing of the past, our nukes guarantee that. War on our own soil however is going to on for a much longer time. Much as with the Turks and PKK.. we have the entire western section of our country in a state of insurgency..which means that it is a long drawn conflict that will eat up resources unless cheaper alternatives to policing the region are found.. The various UAVs and drones, along with the less noticed "Mujahid" paramilitary forces and others are part of this endeavour.

These are more results than reasons. There have been rumors for the longest time that Pakistan already had these UCAVs but was waiting for the public to calm down a bit, before introducing them. If those rumors are true, than why now? Drones are still a big issue in Pakistan, and I doubt that if they're used, that they'll be received well by the public.

 

[shaheenmissile]

The HUD on F-7 P was developed,tested and fitted by Pakistan. Once succesful the technology was given to the chinese who further improved upon it.
So not all things Pakistan has are TOT from china.

The CH drone series first made a flight in 2000.
Pakistan already had a flying drone giving live vudeo feed in 1997.

One thing I'm disappointed with i.e poor presentation of control station
I mean how much money or effort was required to just work on good presentable ergonomics

Look what is this an arcade Game console type desk

By the way just for the future refrence thats me in the pic below

You know why western stuff is very expensive? Becos they spend lots of money on unnecessary stuff like cosmetic and presentation which bears no effect on its combat effectiveness, multiple the cost 4-5 times.

This is how Greece defense went bankrupt and their hardwares are rotting in warehouses as they cannot afford maintenance and training. Go cosmetic looking is only for fanboy.

The issue is now pretty much a dead issue like everything else using the same tactic; promise remedies again and again until the public gives up.. which it has. Today one can order a drone strike at any part in western Pakistan and apart from select condemnation.. nobody will bother.

Tell that to sailors who prefer the 1980's Oliver Hazard Perry and its "Cosmetic" and "Presentation" compared to the F-22P whose first two ships were considered hellholes with zero regard for human engineering.. along with the reliability of a knockoff iphones sold in the streets of Chinese capitals.

I guess we'll find out when the first strike is ordered, won't we? I'm still wondering when these will be officially operational.

Considering that the first A2A shots from the JF-17 occurred much before and were supposedly declared operational before massive glitches were found that left the public announcement delayed till they worked those out.. I'm guessing this thing has been testing away for a while.

Considering that we first heard about this drone back in 2007, I'm guessing you're right.
