Pakistan Succesful Test Fired Hatf-VIII Ra'ad ALCM

[Mrc]

I m being realistic
I would like to see the news article to know more about it
it would be very helpful if you can post the link here

These Weapons Could Be China's Most Threatening Military Advancement For The US | Business Insider India

Its ALCM with range of 350 kms just think how far it can be delivered against IN? as now it can hit targets at sea also small range missiles are tested to make sure that India can't launch its Brahmos and air crafts easily, they are good deterrent against any Cold Start type misadventure its a area denial weapon of PAF. Just imagine how difficult it will be for IN CBG to handle JF-17 with CM-400AKG range 240 kms & Mirages with Ra'ad range 350 kms.

Not a major concern, the EL/M-2248 MF-STARs onboard the IN's Aircraft carriers and escorts have a detection range in excess of 300KM and if we bring in the CBG's BARCAP with the IN's MiG-29Ks the JF-17 and Mirages hardly pose a serious threat

Read again what is officially announced it can hit targets at sea and it not easy to find Ra'ad as it is designed and deployed to be stealthy, and your ships will be busy to save their asss from supersonic CM-400AKG during which Ra'ad, Harpoons & C-802As will arrive to make situation worse. I have not even mentioned Surface or sub surface launched missiles in it.

What do you think how many ships present in Indian CBG? And of which class??

There would be any sub surface vessel inside CBG incuding SSN and SSK?

What would be role of MF-STAR , Barak and Shatil? How many fleet capable SAM exist in a whole CBG?

What would be the role of mig-29k, kamov 31 and 28?

I love how Pakistan tests weapons out of the blue...no warning or nothing

Hardly out of the blue, anyone who have been watching Pakistan's SOPs would have been expecting this test after India's recent A5 test.

The EL/M-2248 MF-STAR onboard the kolkata class destroyer has a range of 350km
the long range radars of vikramaditya has 500km surveillance range

The Close in weapons system can kill the missiles at 1500m range in 5.5 sec
The Barak can kill the fighters
the AC's can fry the electronics within its surveillance range
Kamov Ka31 can kill the subs


What are you talking about???

Bro these are speculations. Actually no one knows the real power and range of MF-STAR.

 

[shaheenmissile]

as the missile in the above photo is marked '208' & by this I am in no way suggesting that its the 208th missile of batch/ inventory

Good observation. But whi it can't be missile number 208?

Also note the pitot tube and pressure sensors. Must be a total of 7
Cirled in green.
One pitot on the bottom. Two pressure sensors on top,and two on each side.

Can't figure out what those two things are circled in blue?

because 12-'140' does not represent the 140th copy of JF-17 nor the presence of UAE Air-force personal in front of it mean they were there to take the delivery of that jet, there is a limit we can speculate or can extract the information from a single pic for our guestimates

Above two green circle are just the hooks used to tie/ load the missile to the hard-point of the jet .... can't comment about other circles

No they are pressure sensors

The ones circled in blue may be the hooks. Although i have seen storm shadow missile up close and the securing hooks were embedded inside missele body, not protruding out.

He's out of touch with reality friend. Don't mind him. He doesn't understand that the "supa dupa" carrier is capable of handling even the blue water Navy. It's that one CBG that the entire Chinese and the US navies are concerned with, so mighty!!

By the way, you forgot to mention that this aircraft carrier is capable of flying way above the SAM coverage, around 80,000 feet and can fly at Mach 2. Mach 2.5 if the jets are not parked on the deck

 

[airmarshal]

This seems to be huge missile. Which aircraft of PAF can carry this? Mirage?

Actually something did pop out in 2010 when Americans thought we were testing illegally modifying harpoons and they made a ruckus out of it. Pakistan response was quite surprising at that time

That was a different controversy, Americans alleged Pakistan had illegally modified harpoon Anti ship Cruise missile supplied to Pakistan in 80s to strike at Land targets and it was violation of the Arms Control Export Act.

Harpoon was surface launched weapon of Pakistan's Amazon class frigates, whereas Pakistani submarines use Exocets.

The point being, Pakistan was testing Sea launch cruise missile. Not harpoon.

No , Pakistan had modified a ship launched cruise missile(Harpoon as per the Americans) into LACM.
None of the reports indicated that any SLCM had been tested.

Its ALCM with range of 350 kms just think how far it can be delivered against IN? as now it can hit targets at sea also small range missiles are tested to make sure that India can't launch its Brahmos and air crafts easily, they are good deterrent against any Cold Start type misadventure its a area denial weapon of PAF. Just imagine how difficult it will be for IN CBG to handle JF-17 with CM-400AKG range 240 kms & Mirages with Ra'ad range 350 kms.

Babur or RAAD are LACMs using Tercom Terrain Contour Matching or DSMAC i.e It uses a pre-recorded contour map of the terrain.

So far Pakistan has neither fitted a Active radar homing(required to lock on to a moving ship) nor does it have ocean magnetic field maps, required to fly over large water bodies.

So far Babur/RAAD can not be used as AShCM.

 

[monitor]

if the RAAD were tested from JF-17 then its a great news but if again from Mirage then i am not finding any significant other then answering Indian missile test . or if there are any improvement over previous one then too it is encouraging congratulation to Pakistani brothers.
