Sorry for the late response, didn't have access to my laptop the past one week. I'll post more pictures of Musa Coy in particular and SSG in general.

Sir, do we have any information regarding such upgrade from Turkiye, Ukrain etc for Al-Khalid tanks? like any possible talks or interest for such defensive gadgets while looking at the rival procurement that I am sure, threat assessment would have been done for proper counter measures.

Nothing so far as per my knowledge, except for the Vatra soft kill measure system, no hard kill option currently in process.

And this is something which we need to start looking at seriously and again i say we need air defence covering for armor formations which we lack considerably. We have nothing to protect the armor formations advancing except for APC mounted MANPADs which will lack range as newer missiles have far greater ranges and helicopters will launch it from far distances.

HQ-17 & PGZ-07 35mm kind of systems need to be inducted. Or something modeled on Pantsir system of russia.

Wasn't the HQ-7 inducted to provide air cover to the armour formations? We have a regiment already deployed in the South for protecting the mechanised infantry.

True that and IMO, the need is already felt that I sense, evaluation as well as consideration for a perfect system for such case or in other words, a proper counter measure however, as said, indeed a needed step which has to be taken on priority.

HQ-7 is good at point protection and that is for what it has been inducted. It can protect a small area, but by looking at its carrying vehicles, i doubt it can do good mobility in desert areas. You need something which can catch up with the mechanized / armor formations. A platform which can carry the missiles and radar itself and is independent from others. HQ-7 search radar is on one vehicle and missiles are on other. Its not tracked and i have serious doubts it can do good keeping up with mechanized forces.

Thus here enters HQ-17 kind of system with its own search radar and missiles, fully tracked, independent and can easily catch up with armor formations wherever they go.

So my best bet is still on HQ-17 & PGZ-07 (with FL-3000kind of missiles) kind of systems. With so much advancement in intel based systems and precision weaponry we need to have systems which are highly mobile and can have shoot & scoot capability and are hard to be located, thus will survive longer and give further damage to enemy. Stationary defensive systems will be sitting ducks for precision weaponry launched out of the engagement circle of these systems.

Check the below system.
