Predator and Burraq

Its not Burraq! Its CH-3. Burraq has wide and fat body, its a little bigger than CH-3.
CH-3 can be compared to Shahpur, while shahpur doesn't have hard points.

 

[Arsalan]

we cant use bakter shikan on burraq. The launch vehicle must stay stationary, which cant be done with a uav.

we are using Baktar Shikan variant with our Cobra Gun Ships helicopters, they are also not stationary platforms so this cant be the reason.

CH-3 is smaller when compared with the above picture.

Pakistan inducts first 'indigenous' UAVs

Pakistan announced on 25 November the formal induction of the first fleet of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) by the Pakistan Army and the Pakistan Air Force: the first public acknowledgement of a programme that was previously kept under wraps.

The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) agency described the induction as a "landmark and historic event".

The statement identified two different types of UAV as entering service: the Burraq and Shahpar, but did not provide information on the number of platforms inducted.

The 470-kg medium-range Shahpar is produced by Pakistan's Global Industrial & Defence Solutions (GIDS) but bears more than a passing resemblance to the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC) CH-3. It was reported in 2010 that China was preparing to deliver 20 systems, along with the CASC FT-5 65 kg-class 'small diameter bomb', to Pakistan in 2011.

According to GIDS, the Shahpar is powered by a 100 hp Rotax piston engine with a maximum speed of 150 km/h, has an endurance of 7 hours, and is capable of day/night surveillance.

No details are available on the Burraq, although previous reports have suggested that it also might be based on the CH-3. Whatever their provenance, the Burraq and Shahpar will join a batch of reconnaissance Selex ES Falco medium-altitude tactical UAVs in Pakistani service.

The ISPR added that the "UAVs could also be gainfully employed in various socio-economic development projects", indicating a wider intent beyond the platforms' most likely operational role: reconnaissance of the federally administered tribal areas (FATA), which border Afghanistan.

COMMENT
A Western defence official stated that the decision to induct the two UAVs also appeared to signal intensifying plans to acquire armed UAVs.

"The Pakistanis have been keen for some time to acquire UAVs that have an offensive capability," said one Western defence official in Islamabad, adding that the plan was "not totally unrelated" to Pakistan's public objections to UAV attacks carried out by the US that target suspected militant sanctuaries in FATA.

"As the US drawdown looms, the Pakistanis also want to have their own capability in this area so that they can target different places themselves. The US attacks are too controversial [in Pakistan]," he added.

The ISPR's UAV announcement came on the day when activists from the opposition Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) party in Peshawar began blocking the main supply route to Afghanistan. Khan has promised to enforce the blockade until the United States ends the use of UAVs in Pakistani territory.

Western officials insist the UAV programme serves a crucial purpose and cite the recent death of Hakimullah Mehsud, the former leader of the Taliban, who was killed in a UAV attack in FATA on 1 November.

On November 25, 2013, Pakistan’s ISPR announced that the Pakistan Army and
PAF had inducted the first batch of ‘indigenously developed’ strategic UAVs, namely
the Burraq and Shahpar UAV Systems, into the Pakistan Army and PAF. It was
claimed that the Burraq has been developed by Pakistan's state-owned NESCOM.

However, a closer examination of the photo of the Burraq released by the ISPR clearly
proves the fact that it is merely a NESCOM-assembled CH-3, which has been developed
by China Aerospace Science and Technology Corp (CASC) and AVIC Defense as a
multi-purpose medium-range UAV system suitable for battlefield reconnaissance, artillery
fire adjustment, data relay and electronic warfare. The CH-3 can be armed with twin
laser-guided AR-1 anti-armour missiles, has a cruising speed of 220kph, 12-hour maximum
endurance, and a 200km line-of-sight communications radius.

Burraq is a lot larger than both Shahpar and CH-3.

Lol.. Dude Burraq is much bigger than CH-3.. Heck even Shahpar is bigger and has "similiarities" in "design" to the CH-3:


SHAHPAR UAV:

P.S: Tht pics u posted isnt "Burraq UCAV"...

None of the quoted is Burraq. Burraq is completely different with a round shape. CH-3 is more comparable to Shahpar but than gain Shahpar does not seem to have hard points while CH-3 does which shows that they are completely different systems although they might resemble somewhat same

 

[Nishan_101]

PN along with PAF needs to buy them in big numbers from PAC and GIDS... PN should buy at least 11 Burraq and 11 Shahpar UAVs in coming 3 years time. So that they can keep an eye on its teritorial waters 24/7... and cheaply too and no need of MPA all the time in air..

cobra also has to remain stationary or at least move in a straight line after firing the missile, and till the missile hit its target.
that's the problem with wire guided missile.

you can see it here

CH-3 is more like Shahpar

Burraq might be based on Ch-3 but is certainly alot more bigger than CH-3.

Mubarrak to all Pakistani brothers and sisters.

A great achievement indeed.
