Pakistan Air Force’s (PAF’s) Public Relations Department recently released a video featuring various aircraft and weapon systems within the PAF’s fleet, including the Turkish-made Akinci combat drone.

The video by the PAF was released on October 19, when Pakistan’s President Dr. Arif Alvi visited the Air Headquarters, Islamabad as a chief guest to attend the inaugural ceremony of the two-day flagship international seminar titled ‘Global Strategic Threat and Response’ (GSTAR) arranged by Centre for Aerospace & Security Studies (CASS).

The video lasts for three minutes and twenty-one seconds. After two minutes and twenty-one seconds, a PAF Squadron Leader, reportedly wearing an Akinci patch, can inspect the Akinci drone armed with light glide bombs.

Notably, the latest video comes shortly after Pakistan flaunted its Bayraktar TB2 drones, a medium altitude long endurance UAV (MALE), during an Air Force drill in late September.

Haluk Bayraktar, the CEO of Baykar – the developers of Bayraktar TB2 and Akinci drones – revealed in March that the company has concluded two export contracts for the Akinci drone without specifying the countries to which the drone will be exported, neither the number of drones nor its value.

Interestingly, just days after Bayraktar’s announcement, PAF’s Public Relations Department posted a video that also featured the Bayraktar and Akinci drones, among various other weapon systems, suggesting that the two drones either have been ordered by the PAF or perhaps already in use.

Right, so where do we say these purchases are a headache?

It's just a feel good article, not any significant advantage. The drones are more likely to be used on the western front if need be

come on this thing is barely comparable to TB2

Superior to*

 

[TheDarkKnight]

Of course it's a UCAV lol, who told you that?

 

[Princeps Senatus]

Of course it's a UCAV lol, who told you that?

What munitions can it carry?

 

[Beny Karachun]

What munitions can it carry?

8 Mikholit missiles (Which are relatively unknown, small and cheap missiles)

Probably 2 Nimrod missiles (50+ km range for the Mk3 variant)

Nimrod SR, hellfires and probably the Spike missile family.

There is no issues between us and IEA and we should keep it that way.. TTP is a different element and small time insurgency inside that needs to be dealt with

this wishful thinking has given rise to border confrontations killing of our soldiers dismantling of fences by Afghan taliban and resurgence of TTP back in Pakistan and they have already started their terror.

while Afghan taliban bully Pakistani soldiers at border and threaten to take land up to Attock.

TTP amd Afghan Taliban believe in same ideology and consider each other brothers. if you think otherwise then i am sorry I have nothing further to add.

no whataboutism can hide the fact that TTP is back in Pakistan much bold and encouraged since their Afghan taliban brothers in words and action came to power.

This entire situation about telling our soldiers at the border "We'll take land up to Attock" has upset me royally. I think we need to realize 1: For US as Pakistanis, there is NO brotherly nation called Afghanistan. It's a hostile neighborhood.
2: This border need effective management as if we were in combat.
3:NO MORE "TALKING". The more time we give them to talk, they strengthen themselves, bring in more weapons and essentially become stronger!

The sooner we can realize these things and cut our emotional baggage the better it would be for Pakistan. There needs to be an operation executed at rapid basis before this cancer expands out to our cities. Already we are seeing events unfold from KPK to Baluchistan with warnings for all major cities! We can't progress if we have a constant issue with these bas*turds!

You do know TTP is their sister organization which enjoys immunity under their umbrella ? If they are not same then why don't they decide to expel them from Afghanistan?

TTP and Afghan Taliban are different groups.

Afghan Taliban is the brainchild of our ISI while TTP is funded by Indian RAW.

It's just a feel good article, not any significant advantage. The drones are more likely to be used on the western front if need be

TB2 have created a havoc and destroyed the entire T72/T90 tanks of Russian Army in Ukraine.

The same will be repeated by the Pakistan Army on India Army's T72/T90 tanks.

Right, so where do we say these purchases are a headache?

Right.

Only people with a heads can get headaches.

Modi followers think that they can evade Pakistani radars by flying under the cover of clouds.

Another case of Irfan speaking absolute facts, but refusing to utilise his moderator privileges against the trolls.

Too kind for his own good.
