Pakistan UAVs News & Discussions

[Ababeel]

Here is a question from me:
Is any other country has a UAV like US "PREDATOR" which not only provides the intelligence but actually destroys the target on receiving signals from its control center?

I think India and Turkey operate the IAI Heron which is in the same class as the Predator.

Same class, but cannot engage targets.

Heron is very similar to Falco. Not sure if it is able to provide near-real time target image processing like Falco does.

heron is a UAV, not UCAV like predator

 

[Sena Lee]

Could the Heron be modified for engagements like the Predator if needed?.

 

[su-47]

I dunno, but it is possible since heron is a large UAV.

May be, but it is not meant for it.

Stop making generalizations.

Yes it is Wilco but the other part of my question still remains unanswered. I was saying that if we are able to produce hight quality UAV's like you suggested then why are we aquiring it from italy?

Bcoz we need to study some foreign systems to improve our system with some variation from westren countries, basically we needed to study the data link system of Falco(if you take as a research UAV not as a military UAV). bcoz in Nishan uav X series we were having troubls in high altitudes in data linking system. so we needed to study the data link system of another UAV.

this UAV was not obtained for reconcission it was for research.

hope you are satisfied now

but still you want to know any thing else, just let me know.

I would like to confirm what WILCO has said. There will be only 3 Falco acquired, and that is a pretty low ammout for acquiring UAV (At least i think so) for reconnaissance operations. There are much technological edge in Falco, which Pakistan defence industries must learn in order to move forward.

Thanks for clearing it up Wilco and WebMaster.
