Tomahawks for Pakistan...

[Bilal Khan 777]

No, not at all, even now we are producing many parts at local level....

When we can produce centrifuges 3 decades back locally then why not engines for cruise missiles after 30 years….don't under estimate our capabilities.


There is not much available as classified, we are now producing them using local industry.

Your probably know everyone in Sialkot, I don't. Engines are critical technologies, and Pakistan would still be importing this engine that looks a lot like TRI-60.

Hi,

You are " assuming "---if we did that---we can also do this---.

It does not work that way in engineering sciences---. You have to have some fundamental base of material sciences behind it---.

Mini turbojets/ turbofans and electrical components for missiles and UAVs are being built inhouse - AERO, Suparco, NESCOM (NDC). Task was given to the local industry in 2010 and no imports have been made ever since.

That is very good !

How would I know such classified information?

*Yet, Yakup Pasha, a Jewish convert to Islam, knew it and the Sultan was poisoned to death

China and now at some level producing it locally.

Don't care about the red or blue cat as long as it is catching mice, as per the Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping

The link you posted does not say anything like that. You have posted a wrong link.


No USA never sold it to Pakistan nor Pakistan ever asked since it is not allowed by MTCR.

However, the Tomahawks indeed dropped from the heavens like Mana and Selva!!!! Whatever comes free is Helal....

Around 2 dozens of tomahawks fell down and fully intact so we took full advantage of it

And, yet, there're some "super-clever" folks who can't leverage even when delivered on a golden platter....

I am not assuming anything my comment is based on reality, we are manufacturing many components from local market even they son't know what they are making...small industries in Wazirabad, Sialkot, Gujranwala and Lahore involved....M.F Raymond Davis assigned to locate those industries who are knowingly and unknowingly manufacturing missile parts.

Sir,
A few things are a very similar. For example materials that can withstand the extreme tensile stresses due to centrifugal forces and balancing the blades and damping the vibrations ....since P-centrifuges run at above 100,000 rpms which is insane and higher than the rpms of a gas turbine (typically 30,000 rpm). However, turbojets require a different a metallurgy due to high temperatures involved. However remember that cruise missile engine is one-use only so it does not require the same level of engineering which a full sized airplane engine needs... also due to the smaller size, it requires much less material and also the stresses generated at tips are comparatively small..so a lot of simplification there.. so Pakistan is more than capable to produce these engines indigenously and I have seen the ETF and worked with the team for sometime..back in 2005-6 and there was a project to develop these puppies locally..though I'm not up-to-date about it with complete details but I heard that now Pakistan is producing these engine in-house.
