Pakistan's contribution to Burraq/CH-3 Drone

Medium-altitude long-endurance unmanned aerial vehicle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

No, it's MAME, not MALE. Considering it's origin being the Shahpar, which in turn has it's origin in the CH-3, It's endurance should be around 7-12 hours depending on payload. That's enough time to conduct a strike operation and return.

MALE are only used for long range strikes such as what the US does, as they have to usually cross international borders for such strikes to occur. MALE drones also usually require a reliable way to communicate at long range, which (again) the US has through it's sat network to communicate with it's long range drone fleet.

MAME drones are perfect for Pakistan currently, as Pakistan is fighting a domestic war, and doesn't require it's forces to cross borders or hunt targets that are far away from it's bases. The Burraq should have enough endurance to catch anyone within Pakistan's borders, and around the border area on the Afghan side.

how? the CH-3 has 4.8km (15,000ft) and this Pak UCAV has the similar propulsion most probably and Payload (kg): 60 – 80 Kg

Actually, the burraq power plant should be the rotex 912, which is not the same as the ch-3 which has a Chinese engine. The Burraq should theoretically have a better payload and endurance than the ch-3...theoretically. I say theoretically, because we don't know its spec, and likely never will, unless it becomes available for export. Since its based on the shahpar, we can assume the spec are similar, if not higher, as it is a strike drone and not just a surveillance drone.

But the machine was Chinese,

Had Pakistan claimed it was joint project between Pakistan and China, it still would have been left with some respect, but by claiming it was indigenous, and looking the way it looks..No one is gonna believe, it was a Pakistani innovation, but just a Pakistani paint job on a chinese machine.

even if it is a chinese machine guess what? we have and you don't.... we can make it now and you still make anything even comparable to it.... you are years behind us in this technology now lol.
