Dont needem May be you should run to France and Russia to cover your insecurities.

 

[khanmubashir]

It's guidance and range extension kit similar to spike only difference it's made in France boot Israel
Pak too has American jdam kits and own rek and h4

France and Russia are avoiding Imran like a plague.

France and Russia are avoiding Imran like a plague.

First of all he’s not running to them and has no need.

First of all he’s not running to them and has no need. Now run along rodent.

Has no need. Lol. Has no dough is more like.

Usable from greater and greater safety distances, with unrivaled ease of use, the air-to-ground modular weapon (AASM) "Hammer", developed by Safran Electronics & Defense, enables extremely accurate strikes. The AASM is an autonomous unjammable interoperable modular device which utilizes leverages a range of guidance kits (INS/GPS, INS/GPS/Infrared and INS/GPS/Laser). The AASM has been tested in numerous recent theaters and delivers an excellent cost/effectiveness ratio.

AASM INS/GPS

The hybrid inertial/GPS layout is the standard guidance mode for coordinates. Once the coordinates have been entered in the weapon, the inertial guidance system enable it to hit the target without requiring a GPS signal, if it is unavailable. This version is designated the SBU-38 Hammer (Smart Bomb Unit).
The AASM's modularity allows it to be used on 125, 250, 500 and 1000kg bomb bodies. Its engine provides it with range greater than 50km, meaning it can be fired at a standoff distance. Autonomous after it has been dropped, it can be used at low altitudes, cross hilly terrain or veer sharply from the firing aircraft.

AASM INS/GPS IR

The inertial/GPS/IR kit adds an infrared imager for terminal guidance. With a simplified model of the scene around the target first being uploaded to the weapon, this imager allows the AASM to recalculate its trajectory during the last few seconds prior to impact, using image recognition algorithms. This allows the AASM to hit its target with the highest possible accuracy, even if GPS coordinates are incorrect, or the GPS signal is unavailable. This version is called the SBU-64 Hammer.
The AASM's modularity allows it to be used on 125, 250, 500 and 1000kg bomb bodies. Its engine provides it with range greater than 50km, meaning it can be fired at a standoff distance. Autonomous after it has been dropped, it can be used at low altitudes, cross hilly terrain or veer sharply from the firing aircraft.

AASM INS/GPS Laser

The inertial/GPS/laser kit adds terminal laser guidance to engage agile, moving land or naval targets, illuminated by a ground or airborne laser designator. It will be deployed by French armed forces starting in 2012. This version is designated the SBU-54 Hammer (Smart Bomb Unit).
The AASM's modularity allows it to be used on 125, 250, 500 and 1000kg bomb bodies. Its engine provides it with range greater than 50km, meaning it can be fired at a standoff distance. Autonomous after it has been dropped, it can be used at low altitudes, cross hilly terrain or veer sharply from the firing aircraft.

Not pakistan but people living in Pakistan did not jump from noon directly from moon after 1947.

Looool...noon and moon jumping are an indian think. We are firmly from this planet

 

[Kraetoz]

The result would always be the same. Whether its Rafale or F35. They would all go down without a sweat. Modi will come in and say if we had F35, the result would have been different. The indian public will buy the statement and the cycle will go on. Nothing will change, results would be the same unless India starts buying pilots instead of jets.

Loooool

Agree ,they have the potential to be used against us as well. Need to be very vigilant now.

To use something requires guts and training. We saw what their capabilities are on feb 27. Not that we should be complacent

This thought does give us a bit of relieve,India is the most inept and cowardly nation on earth.

 

[Bossman]

These are range extension and guidance kits attached to MK80 dumb bombs. Pakistan makes both indigenously and have already used them in combat using JF17. India have to even import MK80 dumb bombs. I love the way India is running around like a headless chicken to do all these emergency purchases. They did the same during Kargil. They even got kickbacks on purchases of coffins for their dead.

The amazing thing is that how a small country like France can built such weapons,?

 

[FOOLS_NIGHTMARE]

The amazing thing is that how a small country like France can built such weapons,?

The French have a very long and glorious colonial history, apart from being beaten by Britain all the time. They have made good military equipment in the past, our vintage mirages and agostas are testament to it. If Flown by good operators their toys are definitely deadly.

I do think India will need a great deal of time to master their technology.

The aasm is a really neat albeit expensive weapon - wonder how much had to be dished out for it.

But it would boost effectiveness to a large extent since it is easy to deploy and helps the Rafale be a very potent strike system.
