On the sea you mean Mobile Surface fleet?

Depends on the weapon being used.
A standard Cruise Missile won't follow a fast moving boat but can easily adjust to the movement of larger ships/AC's.
An anti ship missile will do better at dealing with faster boats. The very reason you have a Raad, Harba, and Zarb as different variants with different seakers.

Notice the new X-tail configuration, meaning better clearance for JFT

So now our navy has harba,zarb and now raad.

So now our option for Naval Strike are

- C-602
- C-802
- CM-400AKG
- Babur-II
- SLCM Babur-III
- Zarb Missile
- Harba Missile
- RA'AD-II
- Harpoon Missiles
- Exocet Missile

How is RAAD 2 different to RAAD 1?

Raad 2 looks like a miniaturized babur

 

[HRK]

Brother mine,

The design looks a bit different from Ra'ad I... or am I seeing things that are not there?

Mangus

Every aircraft has its own role and use.

PAF will do when it is cleared for it.

Babur-II

I have a question. Would Babur Cruise Missile will be used as the same role as Zarb which is Anti ship Missile launched from Coast?

Zarb is anti ahip
Babur is LACM

Old T shaped tail vs new X-tail. Better compact design may make it easier to integrate on JFT.

I am also suspecting, but this pic is not clear enough .... so not commenting on this right now ....

Babur 2 LACM is with Navy. So it would mean that LACM is being used for Anti ship?
