That won't be happening anytime soon.
Many heads rolled when this info was leaked on PDF around 2008 or 2009 i believe, PAF completely put a lid on the rumour mill. There were a few lucky ones to witness these gigantic systems near Lahore Sector Post Mumbai Attacks.
It was impressive with the speed and secrecy this system was procured. But PAF wala's were red pissed when it was leaked on PDF that PAF was in possession of FD2000's. After that, they have put safeguards in place to put a complete lid on all these rumour mills.

During the national military parade held on Monday, March 23, the first in seven years, Pakistan unveils a new short range air defense missile system manufacturing in China. The HQ-7B (export designation: FM-90) is a improved version of the HQ-7 (FM-80) that is a chinese-made version of the French Crotale surface-to-air missile.
HQ-7B/FM-90 is an all-weather short-range ground to air missile weapon system mainly used in important sites and battle fields air defense against air targets flying at low or very low altitude. It can not only effectively destroy precision guided weapons such as cruise missile, tactical air-to-ground missile and anti-radiation missile, but also intercept fighter-bomber, attack aircraft, UAV and armed helicopters.
The acquisition of this system by Pakistan is not indexed in the Arms Transfers Database of SIPRI that registers all the arms transfers worldwide. HQ-7B/ FM-90 is manufacturing by Chhina National Precision Machinery Import & Export Corporation (CPMIEC).

Crotale NG : S-band Pulse Doppler radar (20 km), Ku-band TWT tracking radar (30 km), Thermal camera (19 km), Daylight CCD camera (15 km), and an IR localiser; VT-1 missile with Mach 3.5 speed
HQ-7 : E/F-band Doppler Search Radar (18.4 km range), J-band tracking radar (17 km range), TV tracking system (15 km range) and IR localiser; Speed: Mach 2.3
Can you please elaborate more on the improvements.
It won't be.What if one day HQ9/FD2000 is revealed just like that

I don\t get it , the secrecy and being pissed part . Indian Electronic intelligence would've picked up signature of FD-2000 anyway. As you said, they were deployed near Lahore. What's the point of keeping it under wraps? Are they afraid India would develop tactics to counter it ? Boo yah, with the advent of High speed ARM missiles, you don't need any special kind of strategies to counter such SAMS
I believe the FM90, that Pakistan procured came with ESA tracking radar, as opposed to the PD one on Crotale and FM80
I am sure India knows that Pakistan has FD-2000 however, since it's a mobile system, what they don't know is where it is deployed or will be deployed....what is the Pakistani tactic....for example, one of their fighters making a scoot for the border, but within their own airspace, does PAF respond by scrambling fighters or deploy the SAM? Since it covers a large area (the FD2000), moving it from sector to another will change your plans. It is always good to keep your enemies guessing and in doubt....that is why most SAM systems are mobile.
Yara I'm talking about official unveiling of system like Burraq not about declaring where it is deployed
Now that would have been a surprise. But I think that is not happening.What if one day HQ9/FD2000 is revealed just like that
We need but we wont get. In-fact a system of caliber equal to HQ-9 in proper quantity is enough for our needs.We need S-400
So you are saying Pakistan posses HQ-9?Many heads rolled when this info was leaked on PDF around 2008 or 2009 i believe, PAF completely put a lid on the rumour mill. There were a few lucky ones to witness these gigantic systems near Lahore Sector Post Mumbai Attacks.
