Looks like a small model like India's Ghatak.
Wtf is this thing. View attachment 895924
If this was PAC's MALE UAV I am glad they killed this program for good. Doesn't even have much weight.

I think this is some small version. I've seen the actual thing. It's that big thing we saw in the pictures. A disappointing system nonetheless.

Why is it disappointing???I think this is some small version. I've seen the actual thing. It's that big thing we saw in the pictures. A disappointing system nonetheless.
for starters the program is dead. It was overweight, Frankenstein of a thing, that was not going to compete with anything available on the market. It would underperform against every competitor.Why is it disappointing???
Will check
Any Details on this or any other Loitering Munitions?Will check

Micro loitering munition showcased by PA RDE jointly developed with Integrated dynamics.
IMO a neat application of this could be a Sensor-Fuzed Weapon-style system.Will check

Similar to what the LOCPOD was supposed to doIMO a neat application of this could be a Sensor-Fuzed Weapon-style system.
Basically, preprogram these loitering sub-munitions with data on enemy ground-based vehicles. Then, take a JSOW-style dispenser (e.g., the Chinese GB500) and then load it with several dozen of these loitering (sub)munitions. Next, make the JSOW work in a where it doesn't just dump all the submunitions in one go. Rather, it flies like a drone around the area (maybe remote-operated) and sprinkles these submunitions over enemy tanks, artillery, positions, etc. You basically get something that can fulfill the role of a Sensor-Fuzed Weapon.

Apparently it was super heavy and didn't have a huge payload capacity, at least from what I've been told.Why is it disappointing???
Pakistan's defense industry tends to keep quiet until it has something to show, at least the serious players do. ID is a very serious player and have been for a very long time.Integrated Dynamic have updated their website after quite a while (post IDEAS 2022).
Some of the stuff they are showing is quite impressive, especially the HALE. The Solaris and Stratos HALE drones have a celling of 6KM and 22 KM (officially). The latter translate to a horizon of almost 600km. I have read that on 27 Feb PAF was watching Srinagar base in real time and I wonder if this UAV wasn't responsible.

There are also some Loitering munition (one of which looks like a Flying Dildo) and our own much more capable version of Shahed (running the numbers it has a range of almost 2000 km).

Why has this been under wraps for so long and wonder what other stuff is still classified.

It’s not just about classified - some things are 70% ready and they are considered “products” to be sold(think tesla) and in other cases it’s a simple case of not knowing how to market it.Integrated Dynamic have updated their website after quite a while (post IDEAS 2022).

still appear to have been active by 2018.Is SATUMA even still active. They made a lot of money with the Flamingo during the start of the FATA operation since it was about the only local UAV with anything resembling long endurance, and the Army bought lots but not really heard much after that.
As for the ID offerings, these are game changing. They provide us with deep and long duration surveillance. On the India front, that makes most of their airbases under observation long term. Plus corps level manoeuvres can be watched.
