Army orders ALCOTAN Shoulder Fired Anti Tank Weapon System

It will need another firing tube with weapon with reusable firing unit. C-90 is good but 350m range is to low, there should be better range weapon for PA at least 600m range weapon to allow infantry some safety.

Still this weapon looks good.
It's range is 600 with area target , infantry, it is 700
 
Looks like the Pakistan Army has developed healthy respect for Carl Gustav type systems lately.
Carl gustav is a recoiless rifle.

ALCOTAN M2 is a missile, comes with a high tech targetting system;

ALCOTAN-100 (M2)
100 mm calibre weapon system for infantry, fireable from confined spaces, composed of:

  • A reusable firing control unit, named VOSEL (M2), with integrated night vision, which calculates the target position and trajectory, measures the propellant temperature, calculates the projectile trajectory and shows the gunner the future aiming point to maximize the hit probability.
  • A range of different ammunition (anti-tank, dual-purpose, anti-bunker and multi-purpose), integrated in a disposable launching tube.
Capabilities
  • 600 m effective range and >1.000 m against area targets

  • VOSEL (M2) firing control unit automatically shows the future aiming point correction against moving targets

  • Extremely high Single Shot Hit Probability (SSHP)

  • No recoil <4 J

  • Confined Space firing capability

  • Night vision integrated in VOSEL (M2) firing control unit

Carl Gustav does not have a ballistic computer like this does, it's just a recoiless rifle like spg9 but way more portable, this is a replacement for weapon systems like the LAW, Rpg and panzerfaust. A good addition for LOC units especially.

At LoC with 600m range and 1000m area range having good NV capability, it's awesome weapon for Infantry / LCB units.
 
Does it require 2 people to operate effectively like Indian Carl Gustav.
 
Pakistan should produce C90 in Pakistan and replace RPG 7 with it. For Anti Tank HJ 12 and some thing from Turkey is way forward

Jani jub c90 ka upgraded version we have just bought and will probably produce then why
 
Which AEW&C recovery cost us 130 million?
 
M3 (C-90) is a warhead not a launching system or a new variant.
O Bhai I am going to die with confusion can you explain in detail what is the difference between Alcotan 100 and C-90 ?

Which AEW&C recovery cost us 130 million?
The one which was fully destroyed in Kamra attack but How we have recovered it that is big question ?
