thats too dam slow, chinese Hq 9 i think has mark 4.5

 

[SAUD-404]

Is there any TOT for this high tech and sophisticated pice of equipment like falco uav,

 

[pakistantiger]

is it got any defence against ballstic missile which i dout couz of range of radar and missile interception and i think it will be used aas defence for air bases and paf installation rather than employed on the border and that will be the part of army procurment for long range air defence agianst ballaastic missile which is missile defence shield

 

[Philosopher1]

thats too dam slow, chinese Hq 9 i think has mark 4.5

MARK??? Did you mean to say Mach??

 

[Myth_buster_1]

thats too dam slow, chinese Hq 9 i think has mark 4.5

Since when do we judge the technical capability with general specs like range and speed? boy, The 1970s Aim-54 had top speed of mach 5 with the range of 150+ km! The latest AMRAAM we are getting for F-16s from US has a range of 110 km with mach 4 but that does not mean the AMRAAM is less capable because of this spec. What counts more is the jamming, counter measure resistance of the missile, the accuracy, etc. SPADA has way better accuracy then HQ-9 because its primary task is point defense against Cruise missiles, Aircrafts, air to ground weapons etc. Where as HQ-9 is more of a anti aircraft system then multi purpose.

ceiling is too low

 

[Crypto]

How about max speed and G Limit ?

SPADA 2000 uses Aspide/Y60 missiles with a max speed of Mach 2.0
I couldn't find Gs though!!

btw where about in OZ are you?

 

[Crypto]

thats too dam slow, chinese Hq 9 i think has mark 4.5

Yes HQ 9 is comparatively better than SPADA and similar to S-300p, i believe we were in talks with China to acquire FT-2000 (HQ 9).

Missile

The Aspide 2000 missile is an upgraded version of the Aspide surface-to-air missile. The missile is capable of engaging hostile attack aircraft before the aircraft can release airborne standoff weapons. The Aspide 2000 is also capable of intercepting air-launched missiles once launched. The upgraded missile uses an enhanced single-stage rocket motor which provides increased missile speed, higher lateral acceleration and effective range.

The missile is also in service with the Italian Air Force and the Royal Thai Air Force as part of the Oerlikon Contraves Skyguard air defence system.

The high-thrust single-stage solid-propellant rocket motor provides high supersonic speed and high agility to intercept manoeuvring targets. The guidance system is semi-active radar homing.

if its true than waooooooo
and if its with tot than duble waoooooo

Aspide 2000 establishes another exceptional record

The Aspide 2000 missile has set yet another exceptional record in its long career. During an air defence exercise that took place at the end of January 2009, the Amoun battery of Kuwait’s Air Defence Brigade carried out five Aspide 2000 missile launches against a series of air targets simulating different types of attack scenarios. All of the launches were successful and all five targets were destroyed, either by direct impact or as a result of the warhead exploding within a miss distance of well below one meter. The launches were performed in different weather conditions (day and night) and showed once again the absolute reliability of MBDA’s Aspide 2000 missile.

As a result of this exercise, the Aspide 2000 was able to establish an absolute record in terms of percentage launch success, establishing a success rate exceeding 97% from over 600 missiles launched around the world. With over 5,000 missiles having already been produced, Aspide is now experiencing a new dawn in its latest “2000” version.

Ing. Fabrizio Giulianini, MBDA’s Executive Group Sales and Business Development Director and MBDA Italy Managing Director, said “This latest achievement of the Aspide 2000 missile has confirmed its operating effectiveness and its design strength which has allowed us to renovate the system without any issues of note. Furthermore, this success also confirms that good system and technological choices were made from the very beginning. This exceptional result will give further impetus to the export activities involving this missile, which, as well as being deployed on the Skyguard/Amoun system, is also used on many other systems such as Skyguard El, the naval Albatros variant and the Spada AMI. Aspide 2000, the latest version of the Aspide missile, as well as being deployed in the Skyguard Amoun, is also used in the Spada 2000 Plus system”.
The Spada 2000 Plus system is a ground based air defence missile system designed to protect vital assets from different types of threat such as fighter and bomber aircraft, cruise missiles, helicopters and UAVs.

The Spada 2000 Plus is characterized by a high degree of modularity and flexibility, based on ISO standard modules. Each system section comprises a Detection Center and up to four Firing Sections, each one comprising a Fire Control Center and two Missile Launchers each equipped with six missiles. The Spada 2000 Plus system is also capable of integrating V-SHORAD weapon systems and can operate autonomously or can be integrated within a higher level defence network or architecture.

Range may not be too great but its very lethal though.

bahadur india has not complained?

Coz its not a offensive weapon but a defensive weapon.

Pakistan to Test-Fire Italian Air Defense Missiles in 2010
May 12, 2009

By TOM KINGTON

ROME: Pakistan will test-fire next spring the Spada 2000 air defense system it has acquired from MBDA Italia, officials at the Italian firm said.

The test-firing, which will be staged in Pakistan in the first half of 2010, will follow the delivery in February of the first of 10 Spada batteries ordered by Pakistan for 415 million euros ($565.1 million) in 2007.

"We aim to deliver all 10 of the batteries within 36 months of the test-firing, that is to say by 2013," said Antonio Perfetti, CEO of MBDA Italia, which is the Finmeccanica-owned Italian operation within the European missile house MBDA.

Operated by Italy and Spain, each Spada 2000 system features two firing sections, each containing two to four missile launchers, each hosting six Aspide 2000 missiles. The missiles have an intercept range of more than 20 kilometers.

Since the contract became operational in February 2008, MBDA has launched the construction of facilities in Karachi for maintenance on the systems.

The set-up forms part of an offset arrangement on the sale, which Perfetti said had been "important" to winning the contract.

Two facilities are being prepared, one for maintenance of the Spada system and a second for guidance system testing and maintenance of the Aspide missiles, both completed in February.

Training of Pakistani technicians will start this year, while Pakistani military officials visited MBDA in Italy last week to follow progress, part of a cycle of visits.

Perfetti said the Italian military was continuing to act as liaison with the customer. A second MBDA official added that the Italian Air Force had already helped prove the effectiveness of the system in 2005 when it staged eight test-launches at its Salto di Quirra range for visiting Pakistani officials.
