Army Chief witnessed firing of FM -90 air defence missile sys

Great.

PD should try to obtain TOR M1 & other Russian air defence as they have already been offered to Pakistan.

PAF Crotale SAM system of French origin.Almost obsolete now as PAF has replaced/ing it.
 
makes sense because we are using it on our Type-21 Amzon frigate and the italian spada system is also familiar to the chinese LY-80 a la italian copy-based SAM missile.

Type 21 has LY-60 SAM which is based on Selena Aspide technology whereas LY-80/ HQ-16 is based on Russian medium range BUK missile system which has a pretty lethal accuracy. Both are different systems and have little to nothing in common. In fact, it is the longest ranged SAM system we have so far since no one knows whether we inducted the FD-2000/ HQ-18 or not ;)
 
@Windjammer Fm-90 , is a short range SAM , can it also be used in Tanks formations ? in order to prevent any Bombings on them ?
Yes surely they are moved along tank columns and SP's they are nightmare fore hovering gunships,they will be good in denying any CAS ops by enemy airforce

Pakistan should have at least 24 batteries of HQ-16 and at least 12 of HQ-9.
 
I guess it's been inducted in place of Bamse which PA was interested in back around 2006 or so.

Pakistan is not retiring Crotale system and already upgraded by Pak and range enhanced up to 30 KM.

Pak Armoured Corps should have some sort of short/medium range mobile air defense system with them. We have seen what happened to Iraqi tanks without credible air defense.

Kindly read my comments as i said...

"Almost obsolete now as PAF has replaced/ing it".

I didnt say PAF has retired Crotale.SPADA has taken over most of the role of Crotale and PAF may retire Crotale in toto when it feels so.
 
bad for MKI pilots

They can just fly higher !

Some members already asked, and maybe also discussed, do think that Manpads RBS-70 and Anzas are enough to protect our Tank formations from IAF when they will penetrate enemy/indian zone ?

How they can deny CAS inside India territory, please explain?

Its not the question of deny but about the availability of 24/Hours air defence of Tank formations inside enemy zone.

You saying SAM move at same speed as of Tank column, and provide air defense? :rofl:

You need light attack heli, if Pak serious about providing air support to Tanks column.
