FK-3 Surface-to-Air Missile Weapon System is an all-weather medium-long range air defense weapon system, designed to intercept various types of air threats, including fixed-wing aircrafts, cruise missiles, tactical air-to-surface missiles, armed helicopters, etc.


Chinese-made FK-3 surface-to-air missile weapon system

The adoption of dual-mode inter-changeable guidance system greatly enhances operational effectiveness and anti-jamming capacity. In terminal stage the missile adopts semi-active radar homing guidance which, under circumstance of strong electronic interference, automatically changes to radio-command guidance.

The FK-3 system implements effective multi-target tracking and interception against saturation attack. One fire unit, equipped with the guidance radar, provides interception against 6 targets with 12 rounds of missile. Multiple fire units, under the control of command and coordination vehicle, expand the multi-target interception to 36 targets with 72 rounds of missile.

The FK-3 weapon system can not only fulfill air defense independently, but also complete missions in cooperation with other air defense systems.

The FK-3 has large kill airspace ranges up to 100 km at an altitude from 50 to 27,000m which super adaptive anti-jamming capacity with several anti-jamming measures.

The missile uses a radio-command and semi-active radar homing composite guidance or whole-course radio-command guidance.

The vehicle launcher unit is equipped with quadruple container-type oblique thermal launch with automatic azimuth servo.

If only home on jam and IIR modes are added it would become ultra deadly missile.

What would be an ideal circumstances is if we unveil a local variant for SAM , even if its underdevelopment it would be a great news for Local Defences

We really need high altitute Air Defence
 
100km range is really good, pakistan should definitely talk to china and see if it is available for sale. will add a big kick to our air defense which I feel is not too great
 
TOT would be ideal , instead of few batteries ideally but even so if we can get ample quantities for point defence its good to have them lined up
 
No one gives ToT on top-of-the-line items. What is it -- Jumma Bazaar? :D

Is it? Any links for details?

FK-3 is based on HQ-12, and not the latest generation
 
Agreed. First time that something looks promising to me in SAM sphere.

China is willing to even sell HQ-19 Kinetic Kill Vehicle similar to THAAD to Pakistan, let alone SAMs.

The question is if we can pay for them or not. Even operating them isn't a biggy since Pakistan has been operating various SAMs for decades.
 
I think after submarines, this should be on top of our wish list.

Once our Defence Budget surpass the mark of 15Billion dollars,We will be in position to start many projects either on our own or under JV with other countries

And our balance of payment situation improves. We need foreign exchange and a lots of it.
