Analysis: Pakistan's 'indigenous' UAV, missiles may not be as homegrown as claimed

[T90TankGuy]

The Pakistan Army announced on 13 March that it had successfully fired the indigenous Barq laser-guided missile from a NESCOM Burraq unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).

Initial analysis of a video of the missile firings released by the Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) agency suggests a striking resemblance of the reportedly indigenous Burraq UAV to the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC) CH-3 UAV. IHS Jane's reported in 2010 that China was preparing to deliver 20 CH-3s, along with the CASC FT-5 65 kg-class 'small diameter bomb', to Pakistan in 2011.

Further analysis of the video has shown that not only is the provenance of the UAV questionable, but also that of missile and the validity of the firings.

If a country gains the ability to design and put together a piece of hardware then it becomes indigenous regardless from where the knowledge was sourced?

Indians have diarrhea over a drone. Grow Up maybe!!!

Its been discussed to death. The air frame is CH-3. Burraq is slightly larger, has an Austrian power pack, the EOTS is Pakistani, so is the data link and ground stations. The Missile is based on AR-1 with Hellfire components we found from recovered hellfires. It works fine, we can produce as many as we like and it kills talis, rest is irreverent.

Well Pakistan followed the short cut,

developing a completely indigenous UCAV requires alot of time but we needed a operational UCAV now instead a decade later


So we modified the Chinese UCAV with Austrian engine and some local electronics.

As per latest source's the UCAV has also experienced combat by bombing terrorists hideouts.

I am sure,firms in Pakistan will also either be developing already or develop in future a true indigenous UCAV of Pakistan origin

Neither is India's Tejas. You buy your engines, radars and other avionics from other countries.

Nah man, don't say that Indians produce everything by them selves, since ancient times they have been producing everything indigenous.
