Fighting Fourteen equips with REK SOW

[Blue Marlin]

Raad is as much a conventional weapon as otherwise. There are all kinds of fancy payloads, including bunker buster, anti ship etc. Real Pakistani achievement.



Where do you come up with this information? Some imagination you have kid. What makes you assume Raad conventional payload is .4-.5 T? It is not basically outfitting a Mk83. Too much of a generalization. Your statement is quite a n insult to H series or Raptor, which is a superb original design. There is no sub-munition or CBU payload for Raad. Weapon is too expensive to be showering pellets.



ALCM is conventional and beyond. AGM-65 or Maverick, not in PK. The Iranians have copied it.



What else are these pictures? LOL

im talking about this

Because some of us can only go by the information available in the public domain and infer. In my case, I looked at the MBDA SCALP and KEPD 350 as benchmarks of what the Ra'ad may be, and in the public domain, the SCALP and KEPD 350 have conventional payloads of 450-500 kg. Now if you're saying that the Ra'ad is more than this, then you are welcome to state "the Ra'ad's payload is 500+ kg."

I admit, the comment about the H/Raptor was a bit off, it has a 600 kg warhead and can be deployed with optional seekers, including IIR, which is a unique capability. However, my point was that there are other ways to have stand-off range conventional capability at long-range, and that can involve developing a glide bomb into a cruise missile. It wouldn't be as elegant as a low-RCS airframe cruise missile such as the Ra'ad, but it could be very effective.

As for "showering pellets." Is this your assumption or are you actually referring to the technical merits and use case of the CBU-105? The CBU-105 uses BLU-108 sub-munitions, which comprise of "Skeets" with explosive penetration warheads and dual laser and infrared sensors. The U.S. is deploying these to basically cut down enemy armoured formations on land.

You have no idea what GIDS is. I have no reason to argue with you. The confusion is on your part. GIDS is not private.

As you guys will keep on observing, there is obviously more than one REK program.

Oh oh
sorry and i got you now. Yes my made for writing GIDS as "private". I understand it is NESCOM setup but a public sector firm. Sir, this is something that is not very publicized or talked about AFAIK so . . . . may be i am wrong about it.

Anyway, you have all the reason and power to argue or disagree with anything i say or have said. I am here to learn and contribute what little i can. People like you and many others have proven to be a source of knowledge to me and that is why i stay here. Furthermore, you wont find me to be the one who is ashamed to admit some mistake.

For REK program, there is one that is being run by GIDS and info about which i shared above as well. This one we are discussing here, is it that same REK or are you suggesting that it is something different from what i shared?
Takbir is what it is called?

Have a nice day.

Thats also public information. Lookup Raad program. There are other closed programs as well not revealed to public.

Some that will never be because they never worked out. Others that went quietly with other systems.

As an example, the off boresight monocle available to PG pilots that is used operationally- paired with a short range iir that has 90-95% ircm rejection- suni sunais that are best left unsaid because flyboys simplify things at times
Or the compressed air autogyro kamikazi uav idea of siachen heydays.

plz have a look

initially it was just a gliding kit for MK-82 with some +60 Km range .... the other version DARDO-IIB/C have assisted flight for 200 Km range, this sort of solution should cost less than RA'AD/H-2 or H-4 & I don't think there should be any technical difficulty for us to have such systems develop in house for MK-82 & MK-83 inventory .....
