Pakistan own made RPB1

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

have u heard the term fighter / bomber.

JF-17
F-16
Mirage

all can serve that role !

Yes but comparing , the delivery of 50-60 , bombs to totally shut down an airfield, the 1-2 odd bombs droped by the fighters are not as effective in my oppinion

No doubt they do the damage but its 40% less then when you do same damage with bomber

Stregic bombers can , totally cause havoc , on key areas in war by their large payloads ....

The fighter option is great but high flying bombers do have imporatant role as well

Also , if you had to completely take out a specific target area , and you launched 1 mission you can do it in 1 mission vs 4-6 missions by fighters groups carrying obviously lower payloads

agreed but very few air-forces possess the 'bomber only' option - most modern airforces prefer the 'strike' role and these fighters can cause a lot of damage with their 'precision' bombs. the bombs may be small in size but they pack a big punch.

The Hafar has been in service for decades now.

YouTube- Top Ten Bombers- B52 Stratofortress

how many countries possess the B-52 or the russian counterpart Touplev TU-122 Blinder (i think)

is it a laser dasignator or what and why not JDAMS PAF buy becoz they are most powerfulll bunker busters available today

Sir buying is not the only solution but yes if you know the art you can do every thing even good buying....

what kind of improvement it will have over hafre ? rang or punching power ?

look how old HAFR project is.

In 1995 it was reported that a Rockeye dispenser upgrade was being developed at Pakistan's Air Weapons Complex (AWC), under the designation PSD-2. The new weapon is an update of the earlier PSD-1 programmable weapon dispenser, which itself was based on the B-1 Rockeye variant originally licensed to AWC by the ISC organisation (now Ferranti International). The PSD-1 had anti-handling and programmable electronic fuzing facilities (with extended 72 hour delay setting option) added to the anti-personnel/anti-material submunitions it carried. The latest PSD-2 dispenser differs in that it has been adapted to allow it to carry a new combined effects munition that reportedly gives the weapon a superior armour penetration capability.

In 1996 information was released on an anti-runway weapon, designated HAFR-1, that was being manufactured and offered for export by the Air Weapons Complex of Pakistan. Development details of the bomb are not known, but the weapon is similar in appearance to the French Durandal and some Western analysts believe HAFR-1 could well be the Durandal built under licence in Pakistan for use on its F-16 and Mirage aircraft. The HAFR-1 is similar in appearance to a small modern air-to-surface missile. It has a cylindrical body, a dome shaped nose and four fixed, clipped swept delta rear stabilising fins just forward of a tail-mounted drag parachute unit. The bomb has distinctive large manacle rings joining the front two sections, to which are attached two suspension lugs spaced 356 mm apart. The bomb consists of four main subassemblies: the warhead situated at the front end and weighing around 100 kg; the ignition system, located immediately behind the warhead and controlling the sequence of operations; the solid propellant booster motor attached to the warhead by the manacle ring; and the parachute section, attached to the rear skirt of the booster by a jettisonable clamp ring and containing two parachutes (deceleration and main). Following the release of the bomb from the parent aircraft, the small deceleration parachute is deployed braking the weapon until the main parachute can be deployed without damage. This in turn rapidly decelerates the bomb to a speed of 0.45 m/s. When the HAFR-1 reaches a height of around 76 m (250 ft) the parachute braking system is jettisoned which triggers the arming of the warhead and the firing of the booster motor which rapidly accelerates the warhead to more than 280 m/s. At impact the contact fuze is activated and after a short delay the warhead explodes. The detonation of the warhead from beneath the runway surface results in a crater surrounded by a large area where slabs have been raised and cracked. The release speed envelope for the launcher aircraft is quoted as being between 450 to 600 kt IAS. HAFR-1 has been seen carried by F-16 aircraft of the Pakistan Air Force and was displayed and offered for export in 1996.

But how on earth it is even compareable to the deasy cutter ?

call it bunker buster !

 

[mughaljee]

Did we tested it & will it be laser guided?, any media news.?

 

[Creder]

The Hafar has been in service for decades now.

dude what happened after that ?

 

[azfar]

^ I was also worried.

 

[wild peace]

Did we tested it & will it be laser guided?, any media news.?

Yes we tested it at Minhas...Only hand overing test required.
The Deasy Cutter is totally useless on concrete it slips not penetrate.Yes deasy cutter used in Afghanistan in Live war this is a Plus point for it.

in the modern warfare i think PAF should try to concentrate on a BVR Runway penetrating bomb maybe if we can load it onto the H-4 we can really have a lethal weapon. getting so close to an enemy airfield is bound to have many casualties raising up the costs of putting the enemy airfield out of order temporarily!

Ordinary Blastic missile also have the capabilities to hit any point and destroy so what is the use of these like RPB1,DRUNDELS,HAFFER etc. Please clarify.
