Featured Pakistan operationalises Bayraktar TB-2 MALE UCAV for PAF

Air force? Quite surprised. So, does the air force have other tactical drones and for what tasks does it use them?
all 3 services of Pakistan arm forces have their own drone fleet and drone programs.

Pakistan Army have CH-3/Burraq + Ch-4B UCAVs
Pakistan Navy have Ch-4B UCAVs other tactical drones for reconnaissance & it was also interested in Anka-S as well
Pakistan Air force have CH-3 + WL-2 UCAVs and will use underdevelopment MALE UCAV by Pakistan Aeronautical Complex other than these have few other tactical Drones for reconnaissance & other UAVs as well like Falco

If Pakistan wanted to buy the TB-2, it would have already acquired these systems. A purchase of this scale could easily credited through Eximbank, so there is no financial problem.

Frankly, the news has not been confirmed yet and I don't know if an evaluation can be made at this stage. Pakistan is already investing in UAVs in this class and moreover, it continues to import from different sources.

But if Pakistani army is considering acquiring Baykar Tactical armed drones, I see it more likely that it could be next generation tactical bloc with Satcom radom and more powerful engine rather than Tb2.

Where will be the engine coming from ?

Tb2 action in Azerbaijan-Armenian war uses Canadian company engine, Rotax, and Canada has imposed defense products embargo to Turkey due to that war.

What about ammunition specs , also can someone elaborate on how the fleet of all drones in Pakistan is being managed ( is it with army, af, mix ?).

We have decent fleet now, when will we see them showing some teeth in the field ?

Pakistan cant produce high level senors or engines or post of the parts (even turkey use to import them on tb2 till very recently)
Well Pakistan has an incredibly powerful drone fleet made up of the Wing Long 2 and now the TB2 excellent news.
However with that being said our BLA, BLF and TTP enemies are hardly quaking in their slippers as none of these drones are being seen over their heads ready to take them out in a seconds's notice.
Tb2 destroyed the backbone of insurgency elsewhere

Lets see what happens

Cheap to fly and excellent sensors
