Featured Pakistan operationalises Bayraktar TB-2 MALE UCAV for PAF

Pakistan cant produce high level senors or engines or post of the parts (even turkey use to import them on tb2 till very recently)

Tb2 destroyed the backbone of insurgency elsewhere

Lets see what happens

Cheap to fly and excellent sensors

Most probably it offer better AGMs compared to already available missiles for Pakistani drones.

It was alleged that friendly and brotherly country Pakistan supplied Bayraktar TB2 Armed Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (SİHA) from Turkey.

The source of the allegations that Pakistan has purchased Bayraktar TB2 SİHAs developed by Baykar Defense is a Twitter (@PSFAERO) account known for its closeness to the Pakistani army.

"In addition to Chinese UAVs, Pakistan is also trying to develop its own domestic UAVs. In this context, a contract for "Unmanned Aerial Vehicles" was signed in August 2021 with Turkish Aerospace Industries (TUSAŞ) and Pakistan's National Engineering and Science Commission (NESCOM).

Acording to contract, components belonging to ANKA will be produced and developed also for Pakistan. Within the scope of the contract signed to expand the potential market for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and to increase the cooperation between Pakistan and Turkey, (TAI and NESCOM); will be jointly responsible for employment, resource and technology transfer."


IMHO, - this means,

If we can successfully pass these preliminary steps, Turkey and Pakistan will move towards a joint unmanned fighter jet infrastructure.

The news is true. And Jummah Bazar continues. I really want to understand the mindset behind induct so many types of Armed Drones


It will be jointly produce in Pakistan with the transfer of technology which is a good thing. May be the case of horses for courses. Any thing produced in Pakistan and used by our forces strengthens our independence.
Pakistan need to produce all the ammunition which Turkish drones carry as then it opens up a whole new avenue for us in the field of smart weapons. Which I feel is a must thing in todays world.

I dont get this news

Pakistan has a great drone industry

we should be doing joint partnerships in these ventures not buying off the shelve
Kom ka paisa phonka ja raha ha bhai ….Mand k rakho

lollllz this is scrap . i wish i never see many of these including j10

Bro am sure you will be sitting at the front of the TV pretending to be sleep but yet looking through the corner of your eyes lol . Sorry PAF couldn't show you the 5th generation aircraft this year. Patience and have a good half sleep on the parade day lol. :p:

More UAVs to collect dust in hangars instead of being used as required.

India is reportedly buying +100 from Turkey. What counter measures are there for PAF???

PAKISTAN OPERATIONALISES ‘TANK-KILLER’ BAYRAKTAR TB-2 DRONE

The Pakistan Air Force has operationalised the Bayraktar TB-2 medium altitude long endurance (MALE) tactical UCAV armed drone for service. An initial batch of the drone and all associated equipment were procured in mid-2021 by Pakistan in a deal with Baykar Defence of Turkey, which also included joint production and development of the larger Anka-S MALE UCAV drone and its future variants.
The TB-2 is a MALE UCAV drone capable of a 27 hour endurance and a flight ceiling of 25,000 feet. The MTOW of the drone is 1,430 pounds, enabling it to carry a variety of ATGMs, air to ground precision munitions and rockets on its four hard points. The TB-2 also provides excellent Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition and Reconnaissance (ISTAR) capabilities with a variety of electrooptical paylods. An onboard avionic suite with a triple redundant avionic system encompasses units enabling a fully autonomous taxiing, take-off, landing and cruise.
The TB-2 has SATCOM capabilities as well as datalink (300 km range) and has a 150 kg weapons capacity. The SATCOM full range of the drone is not available publicly but rumoured to be 1000 km. The drone also has excellent ECCM capabilities, being able to subdue and resist Russian electronic warfare attacks in Syria and Nagorno-Karabakh. The standard avionics payload configuration includes an electro-optical (EO) camera module, an infrared (IR) camera module, a laser designator, a laser range finder (LRF) and a laser pointer. The TB-2 also has an option to integrate Synthetic Aperture Radars (SAR) and an AESA radar for airborne surveillance purposes. Standard weapons include 4 MAM-L and MAM-C highly precise GPS/INS guided smart munitions with 8-14 km ranges.
The TB-2 has completed over 400,000 operational flight hours. The TB-2’s anti-armour capabilities are extremely combat proven and extensive. During wartime, the TB2 could survey and detect enemy mechanised formations, air defence sites and troop concentrations either through its signals intelligence arsenal or the impressively long range of its EO/IR sensor (believed to be over 75km against targets such as vehicles), which would then be engaged either directly by TB-2s, or the information could be relayed via datalink to Pakistan's other strike options such as the Fateh-1 long range guided MLRS. The TB-2 provides the PAF with a highly effective & combat proven tactical unmanned ISTAR+strike platform, especially for penetrating air defences and conducting strikes on both enemy air defence infrastructure and equipment and the integrated battle groups they are protecting.

It is likely the the drones will be shown for the first time to the Pakistani public on the Pakistan Day Parade this year on 23rd March.

You can think of these UAVs as wolfpacks rather than as 12 different units. To give a small example:

Aselsan's newest AESA SAR Pod with X-Band Active Phased Array for Tactical UCAVs

One of a group of Tactical UAVs can act as radar and satcom/communication relay. Another vehicle could carry decoys or even a limited ED system, thereby increasing the strike accuracy and operative efficiency of other MAM-C and perhaps MAM-T carrying UAVs.

Honestly, there's no limit to the imagination with these tactical UAVs. In fact, we are just entering the new era when UAVs carry other mini-UAVs or multiple UAVs carry out coordinated operations with each other.

That is nothing more than load of cow dung. Granted there is nothing stopping India from getting drone from turkey but they wont bcz they fear sensitive data is already in hands of Pakistan for these drones due to our cooperation in this field.

India is buying drones from a commercial company which is 60% owned by an Indian firm. They only manufacture agricultural and cery low tier drones only used for commercial purposes.

Also why would India buy drones from Turkey when they have solutions available from US and Israel?
