Pakistan Aeronautical Complex to joint-manufacture 48 Wing Loong II UCAV

[IceCold]

Drones and SAM, what is the connection?

@Dazzler @Bilal Khan (Quwa) Why Pakistan never tried to get CBU 105 in response to cold start?

In all likelihood the YS refused to sell it. But in 2008 Pakistan did sign a MoU with Turkey to develop an analogous solution, but I'm guessing it didn't get anywhere OR they're still developing it.

It was reported by sherdils acrobatics teams offical facebook page. 48 drones with transfer of technolpgy. Wing long II is alpt more improved and bigger and taller than wing long 1. Carries more than 12 missiles . pakistan had tested and compared wing long 1 with saudi drones from usa in 2016. Chinese improved and impressed us with wing lomg II

bhai log mary pass aik DESSI jogar hy. agr PAF border par ni kr skti to jnb un ko bhe any se to rook skty hain na. long range SAM le lo te hisaab barabr ho jay ga

 

[帅的一匹]

Meaning, 48 total to be built as for now - 24 for China and 24 for Pakistan total - 48

48 for PAF.

If there is not any official announcement, It means there is an ongoing tender that negotiations are proceeding and Sides want to strenghten their hands on table with signing Memorandum of understanding with local firms like PAC to get the winner. Something like a media war to collect public support.

the deal is confirmed by Pakistan side.

there are two huge advantage of Wing Loong II that Turkey product cant match:
1. Wing Loong UCAV has been used successfully by many countries in war(Yemen, Iraq, Syria).even Serbia is placing a big order, not to mention Saudi, UAE.
2. the Beidou navigation system is very mature that users dont have to worry the Yankees get rid off GPS in war time.

This is very interesting that India was given CBU 105s while we cannot get it despite being their ally. If Turkey has come up with a similar weapon it would be very good.

Then, Congrats. I hope it will provide impressive capabilities to erase terrorists...

 

[DESERT FIGHTER]

I bet there is a very very big scale tender which contains an extensive technology transfer for Pakistan. Firstly, Turkey’s Havelsan signed an agreement with related officials to take charge of ground control systems and software sections. A very strong counter attack came from China with signing a MoU with PAC to guarantee its licence production promise in this tender. I think Sides started to play their cards to satisfy Pakistani brothers. At least, That is what I see from outside. I wanted to know what Turkey offers brother Pakistan... Anka-S + new powerfull 170hp domestic engine with around 300-350kg payload or Akinci with 1500kg payload. If It is about Pakistan, Turks will always be somewhere around. It is not easy but I think TAI may offer something crazy to get it.

I doubt this news... WLs were first spotted years ago when one crashed in mianwali... n later on google images at a Pak mil airbase.

Meanwhile PAC announced that it was developing a stealth UCAV under Project Azm.. So I will wait for an official news rather than (indian) yellow journalism.

Our currently operational UAVs industry bad either:

That man is our aerobatic team with no authority to either confirm or deny........

Nope not confirmed yet. It was on Paf's aerobatic teams FACEBOOK page.......

Demet-A cluster bomb! Bro.

AG bombs/missiles have also thermobaric warhead options. It is succesfully developed. Small drone munitions like Cirit MaM-C, Bozok and MaM-L became a deadly munition thanks to new warheads.

 

[帅的一匹]

wait to see Wing Loong 2 in PAF's colour.

and to be continued

48 drones against s 400 ? Am sorry i dnt get it

Check the source. It is a bhindu newspaper indiatoday so it is the 'vedic' logic at its finest.

Drones and SAM, what is the connection?

Ask bhindus .... it is written somewhere in their veda.

It is possible that these are being procured out of a larger UCAV base that both the PAF and PA want. It is possible that to save attack heli lifespans on these long drawn out insurgencies the switch may go over to these UCAV’s as they have much greater endurance and possibly better sensor coverage due to the height they loiter at.
So much so that all future coin ops could be relegated to UCAV’s working with patrols and joint teams.

I think Turkey and Pakistan are trying to develop the necessary technology. The CBU-105's BLU units have independent guidance system, gliding as well as propulsion (can't remember if it's explosive or a rocket). A lot of complex pieces which can't easily be emulated (lest we'd see alternatives).
