Check my profile kid and edit your post and I hope you would be much sober when talking to your elder family members.

When you are in liquid form I was in uniform.
With your tender age it seems you could not help to avoid it but bringing it up while ignoring the content of post. So typical of being a desi.
Still to young for me. A guy who was young in 65 war

Typical Pak strategy...when a system is already operational and deployed... a simple, dignified ceremony is held and it becomes 'official'.

No will do or shall be..just quietly done and move on strategy of Pak State. Quite nice....

And eastern hordes always bemoan about 100% success rate of Pak systems!

With this induction into PA the path is clear for such inductions into PNS fleet. Just wait less than a decade...FP23 rings a bell.

Also, with this system Pak now possesses a hypersonic missile that manuvers at such speeds....how difficult would it be to turn this into a cruise missile or anti-radiation one..many, many uses?

After all Paks are good programmers...just think about the possibilities. China will always help Pak.

In near term longer ranges SAMs will also be inducted 'officially'...

Pak moves in mysterious ways!

How old are you? Let me guess below 28 years.
Do the math ! I was young to remember vivid memories of 65 war

Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa was chief guest at the Induction Ceremony of LOMADS, held at Army Auditorium here on Sunday, according to Inter Services Public Relations press release.

LY-80 is a Chinese mobile Air Defence system, capable of tracking and destroying variety of aerial targets at longer ranges, flying at low and medium altitude.
The COAS said that LY-80 LOMADS increases response capability to current and emerging air defence threats.

Earlier, on arrival, the COAS was received by Lieutenant General Muhammad Zahid Latif Mirza, Commander Army Air Defence Command.

The Pakistan Ministry of Defence Production disclosed that the armed forces had ordered six LY-80 (also named HQ-16) surface-to-air missile (SAM) systems from China for $373 million U.S. in fiscal year 2014-2015.

The LY-80 is a Chinese-made ground-to-air defense missile system. The LY-80 is able to engage aerial targets at high altitude; the mid-range LY-80 is also able to intercept very low-flying targets at a distance of up to about 40 kilometers.

The missile itself carries a 70 kg warhead and is guided by a semi-active radar-homing (SARH) seeker (which will work in conjunction with the SAM system’s tracking and guidance radar).

The LY-80 missile can hit targets of an altitude from 400 to 10,000 meters.

Yes my Pak Friend,

The operative word here is LEARN. You are quite right.

Pak doesn't need to reinvent the wheel but only make a plan for its full spectrum industrialisatioin and work with China to achieve this goal.

One wishes you all the very best. You progress is critical to the Eurasian Century!

Regards,

Great Move , Right time for showing them , 23 is coming too.:yahoo::smitten::pakistan::pakistan:
Now look at our enemies , They will tell you heyyyyyy its range Is only this or that , heeeyyyyyyy It cant hit this or that , Typical randi runa.
Batch one of Medium Range SAMs are HQ16-A , Batch 2 will be HQ-16B and I am very much sure we will also have Western Medium Rang SAMs Sooner or Latter . ;););)
And keep in mind these are for PA , PAF already have western systems and I am hopping and Praying for them to go for western Medium and Long rang SAMs , This will be a great combo of Eastern + Western SAMs.
And one good thing about Eastern systems we can build them in great numbers , like we can build hell out of them .... If U know what I mean:devil::devil::devil::devil:
 
.
@The Deterrent sir your thoughts? Also how effective would this system be lets say against Indian prithvi or Agni series if HQ 9 is also added to the mix? I know we wont be using it against anything but aircrafts but for the sake of argument what if we decide to do than?

Its max high altitude is 25 km where as Buk M-3 have 35km max altitude, so its not very good against BMs may be effective against SRBMs.

Its More Meant to Protect Pakistani Armed Forces rather than Just relying on PAF Systems , as the System can Move will Help Protect the columns which go deep inside enemy area from Ariel threats
