PAF revamped Air Defense Alert System

. .
.,.,

surface-to-air missile system that is capable of engaging a variety of targets, including aircraft, helicopters, and cruise missiles.
The PAF's acquisition of the HQ-9B system will significantly improve its ability to defend Pakistan's airspace against air threats.

Any word on how many units ? Standardisation makes sense for sure.

Representative pic.

Pakistani designed and manufactured. The TRM modules were built locally as well. I can assure you no such similar Chinese radar Exists either. The closest looking radar would be the YLC18A which PAF operates but that has totally different type of array and smaller chassis etc etc. However few of the sub structural components like hydraulics mast is obtained from third party provider I think for this radar above.

Few years ago there were reports that Pakistan will them but since then no news. So have we dropped the idea?
 
. . .
Any idea if they are AHEAD capable? Or we inducting AHEAD capability?

Both China and Turkey has developed it in their oerlikon derivatives.
No idea on new batteries. But several batteries of second hand gdf + sky guard were delivered from turkey to PA I think.
 
.
News of Nokta Air Defense (NHS) System from Aselsan emerged in April this year based on AESA radar with two 35mm guns of AHEAD rounds and 12 ready to fire GÖKDOĞAN missiles of 40km range.
Seems better than other options.
 
.
Similar type of self-propelled air defence system from China is FK-2000 with 2x 6-barrel 30mm Gatling guns and 12 missiles of 25km range.

Ive heard that Pak Army has taken over the HQ-9B acquisition meant for PAF for better "integration". CAn someone confirm or deny?
 
.
As predicted a smaller range version the "FAAZ-1" also exists which appears to have been tested and later shelved in favor of PL-15 & FAAZ-2 combo

And Faaz-1 (reverse engineered SD-10) is being offered for export. Additionally a IIR Seeker variant also appears to have been developed indicating Faaz-1 missile project wasnt abandoned.

Also idk if its a typo error but both missiles are branded as Air to ground missiles weird.
