China will be gifting the SLC-18 to Pakistan ( satellite killer)

[Areesh]

reminds me of one such gift that moron khan ordered the COAS to reject and ask china for a cash gift (so that he could bribe the electorate with subsidies near to the next election)

Source for this is obviously your as$

killer ?

tracker, more like.. killed would be an ASAT weapon (missile, laser etc)

I don't have any info on this specific radar but there are systems to jam satellite communication with the ground control station, and this being an AESA Radar it could also have some offensive capabilities.

First, is hq9 missiles (s300 missiles copied) tested against satellite?

if that is your intelligence on what the Hq-9 is - you should pray it doesn’t translate over to your military because they will regret it sorely.

Finally, the dipshit copy references dont make a darn difference so long as an Indian assets ends up dead. Does it REALLY matter?
Would you care if you’re dead or whether the bullet that killed you was an original “indigenous “ design - Im pretty sure as a dead person even if you had an opinion it would be irrelevant

I agreed with you that it doesn't matter indigenous or imported... I just added because many people do criticise Russian military items but happy with copied versions.

Regarding S300, HQ9 or S400, I am pretty not sure if these can used for anti SATELITE (ASAT) purpose.

Apart of these, Chinese, India and others countries are having seperate anti SATELITE missiles programs running

Indian abuse US technology ..

This photo posted on Facebook of the Indian AH-64E after an emergency landing in a field in shows the right/rear intake cover in place, this caused some social media observers to suggest the aircraft was forced to land because the exhaust cover had not been removed. This is not confirmed

Anything is possible with the military that damages its submarine by forgetting to close the lid.

That is something I was also going to mention.

The latest air show proved that Chinese expertise is continuing to grow in the field of radar technology. On opening day of the Zhuhai Air Show, the China Electronics Technology Group Corporation (CETC) Showcased the SLC-18 P-Band radar. It is an AESA (active electronically scanned array) radar, which means that each receiver also acts as a singular transmitter. This greatly improves the efficiency of the radar and likely means it can serve multiple functions simultaneously. The SLC-18 operates in a low frequency band, which allows it to have better fidelity at tracking low-observable aircraft and drones, and satellites.

At the closing of the air show, it was announced that China will be gifting the SLC-18 to Pakistan, which will likely use it to track India’s reconnaissance constellation. It is likely that this radar will aid in counter-reconnaissance by allowing the Pakistanis to track and calculate when certain electro-optical or infrared satellites are overhead.

Takeaways From China’s Zhuhai Air Show 2022

Real gains were shown in China’s missile, radar, unmanned systems, and fighter technology.

China displays transportable SLC-18 space surveillance radar​

China unveiled a space surveillance radar that can also be used to track anti-ballistic missiles (ABMs), during the Airshow China 2022 exhibition held in Zhuhai from 8 to 13 November.

Janes analysis of SLC-18 images suggests the radar is approximately 9 m tall and 8 m wide. The antenna face of the low-frequency radar array is covered with 960 disk-shaped cross-polarised antenna elements mounted at an elevated angle by a hydraulic assembly.

Information accompanying the displayed equipment indicated that the SLC-18 has a solid-state active electronically scanned array (AESA) design, and functions in the P-band (250–500 MHz) radio frequency (RF) spectrum.

The radar is used for upper atmosphere and space surveillance, and can search, detect, and track objects such as ballistic missiles and low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites.

In addition, the system can build a catalogue for forecasting LEO satellites, as well as acquire multitarget track and measurement data.

The SLC-18 has a digital, fully coherent, solid-state design. The radar's ability to operate in low frequency indicates that it has anti-stealth capabilities. It can be transported by land by a trailer truck convoy.

The JY-26 ‘Skywatch' radar with its disk-shaped polarised elements – displayed in the 2014 China Airshow – had a design similar to that of the SLC-18. The JY-26 was displayed in a smaller antenna array configuration with 512 dipole elements.

Treat it as China is putting their assets in Pakistan and other friendly countries to track space assets of the US, India and others in the name of the gift.

The top positions are managed by generals.

That is the problem - generals are by their nature - not the smartest people in the world. This kind of R&D should be done by the private sector where the brightest and best of Pakistan can contribute and new institutions can be built etc..
