Air defense is ample, provided by MANPADS, M113s with RB70 systems as well as Orleikon GDF-007 AA turrets (these turrets are superior to the smaller caliber ones india has, even if theirs are self propelled, as these have much longer range and advanced Tungsten air burst shells, as well as Skyguard Radar). Air support from PAF exists All tanks are equipped with RWS that can engage air targets too. Tank fired ATGMs can engage low flying helicopters, and Pakistan does have mobile SAMS.
Hey I was looking at some of the videos from the exercise which I must admit is videos released by ISPR over and over again. I did not see significant air defenses. Units accompanying our arm formations. The best was a Talah APC ( up armored M113 ) with a manipad team. What about a dedicated anti aircraft platform like the Indian upgraded
the Indian version is terrible as usual because the placed the optical sensor on the spinning radar. Hence when firing the radar will have to be stopped...... someone was smoking good shit before they Designed this.
on the IFV front we all so pentagon wars and the problems with an IFV in battle. It’s far cheaper and effective to deploy phalanx or ATGM teams to the front to blunt enemy armor.the wisdom of the ages. A great example of this was the 1965 pak India war where antitank Battalions stoped the Indian advance, the Egypt Israeli conflict where the Russian atgm’s devastated American made armor at the fraction of the cost.
