Pakistan successfully tests indigenous drone Burraq and Barq laser guided missile

This January 25, 2015 photo appears to show a Chinese made CH-3 drone, owned by Nigeria, which has crash landed upside down. The two AR-1 ATGMs attached to its wing pylons suggest that Nigeria is turning to drone strikes as the bloody war against Boko Haram continues.

As the brutal Boko Haram insurgency has entered its 7th year in Nigeria, the relationship between the government and China has deepened. In many ways it is a match of needs.

The Nigerian military has a pressing need for counter-insurgency (COIN) equipment, such as drones, MRAP vehicles and smart bombs (many of which the US has been unwilling to provide the government due to human rights concerns). China is seeking to be a first tier exporter of such modern military systems as well as has a massive domestic demand for oil.

The CH-3 is a medium sized UAV capable of undertaking attack missions out to 200km (the range of its ground station). It has a tricycle landing gear arrangement, along with two rectangular canards forward of the wings, and a three bladed propeller.

The CH-3 is a medium UAV built by the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation. This 256km per hour, 630 kg drone has a wingspan of about 8 meters, and the combat version can carry a 100 kg payload.

Judging by photos of the CH-3 during Chinese testing, the missiles would likely by 45 kg AR-1 anti-tank missiles, which are roughly equivalent to the American Hellfire missile. The CH-3 is also in Pakistani service as the "Burraq" UCAV.

The CH-3 has been available for export since 2010, even then, China was pushing its precision strike capabilities as a key selling point.

Despite damage to the tricycle landing gear and upper forward fuselage, this CH-3 appears to have crash landed due to mechanical or control difficulties. This is in line with most other global UAV combat losses to date. As the CH-3 has a cruise altitude of 5,000m and a flight ceiling of 6,000m, it is unlikely that Boko Haram would have the necessary heavy anti-aircraft weaponry or training to do so.

Despite this particular CH-3's inglorious fate, it is a good illustration that Chinese drones are likely to be flying over Nigeria and many other insurgencies around the world for time to come.
 
Sure they can.
By similar logic if u give india the same amount of money as say r&d of usa we can start innovating in the same speed like usa provided we can offer good insentives to people to immigrate to india too.

I never meant pakistan is inferior,the poster whom i quoted was implying that pakistan is ahead.
pakistan is way ahead of india in drone and missile technology....even nuclear tech
 
Although indigenous development is important however, it is also important to realize the fact that Pakistan is in possession of the UCAV .it is just a matter of time that it has already been modified (UCAV) and will further tailored according to the future needs.

The real question is how much has been modified. Though the nature of this information is classified but would emerge gradually with the passage of time. The operational use and the places where they are used would reveal a pattern of the enhancements taken place.

For Indians, please be patient and enjoy the show and don't derail this wonderful thread.
 
Not even in nuclear tech
Drone: depends on who designed the burraq
Yara burraq is a primitive design. we can easily design a superior UCAV. Please study Pakistani UAV program. Drones produced by the private sector are/were operational by US Army.

UAE ko dekh lo. un ko jahaz urana bhi hum nai sikhaya tha. Now they are producing their own UCAV U40.

About our nuclear program, it is a vast field not just limited to FBRs.
 
Once more I will ask people to stay on topic. It would be a pity to see people banned over off-topic nonsense or trolling.

Can we fit Barq Missiles on Z-10 ?????

I have read about Shahpar as Well
Most of the experts here think it's a rip off of CH3
let's see.....jab specs aayenge,we will compare

Do you have info on the endurance,service ceiling and MTOW ??
