Glad to see that we have (almost) official confirmation of the above. I am not surprised since being armed was one of the goals of Shahpar II. Such a lazy photoshop job putting the words "BURQ" on the missiles:

Taking that last video on face value: this is quite impressive.

Trying to bait me into an argument I see :p Well, not sure what I am supposed to comment based on a few blurry pictures. I wonder: 1. What's the range of this missile - this will determine what speed it hits the ground with, and thus its capability to maneuver. 2. At what plane are we looking...

@farooqbhai007 pointed to podded sigint/ECM type solutions for the Chinese drones. So those functions are certainly possible I suppose. I would think the WL2 can spare a hardpoint for one of those pods. CH4, I don't know. Nope. Post the pdf?

Is that a typo and you really meant CM400AKG? Or is this news?

Which ones exactly? If they are self-protection jamming pods then those are not what @Signalian is talking about.

Good question. I don't think most drones won't have the engine power to fly a payload and and power an EW pod. Of course, I don't know any numbers on this but CH4 has a piston engine that's supposed to be 1000 HP. How much of that can you divert to an EW pod, I don't know. This is in addition to...

Thank you for the insightful response!

Not sure if I am just grasping at straws but it would appear that the four CH-4's came in the four shipping containers each. Do we know if one can fit inside a standard shipping container? That would be a neat way to move them around discretely.

Right, this isn't a replacement for a full-sized VLS - obviously.

Would be quite painful to make this mechanically viable. Can the tiny attachment footprint handle the static and dynamic loads? I'm skeptical. Unless this is some kind of new, small, lightweight VLS.

Sometimes, yes.

Going off on a tangent here but being a professor is a very noble profession. Like being a doctor or a solider for the following reasons: 1. You are supposed to be the expert in your field and most other people in the universities usually take what you have at face value. 2. At least here in the...

I can't find anything from CENTAIC but NCAI (https://ncai.smme.nust.edu.pk/) does seem to be producing work:

Not that I know of but I would need to look around a bit.

Titanium? That sounds expensive and difficult to work with.

In my opinion an engine switch is the best possible explanation for the 30 order. Recall that IFR probes were introduced in the middle of the block (29th block 2 onward if my memory serves me right) and there was a slowdown in production to incorporate these "mid-block" changes.
