Pakistan UAVs News & Discussions

[TsAr]

Russia is working on improving its comm and AD networks after Turkish drones scored hits in Syria.

Smaller (not micro) drones seem to best in combat as they are cheaply produced, can carry a decent payload and are replaceable in war though Turkey found it was not easy to replace shot down drones during war. These smaller drones can penetrate enemy air space easily than bigger drones, and can approach closer to the target emitters compared with aircraft because of their smaller RCS; therefore they need less power for effective jamming and because of their very small IR signatures and RCS there can be ambiguity that the AD missiles will fuse correctly and destroy them. Large drones can carry bigger payload but are costly to replace if shot down.

That's the thing with EW systems and Jammers, you need to keep on enhancing and upgrading the systems, as the enemy would also do so. Whoever is quick to learn and implement will win the next battle.

Pakistan’s GIDS Unveils MALE UAV



Pakistan defence conglomerate Global Defence and Industrial Solutions (GIDS) has unveiled an armed version of its SHAHPAR-II medium altitude long endurance (MALE) reconnaissance drone at Egypt Defence Expo EDEX 2021.

The drone is armed with two new Burq (advanced) semi-active laser guided air to ground munitions with a range of 8 kilometres, developed by NESCOM Pakistan, on two weapons stations able to handle 60 kgs of municipal each.

The drone has a service ceiling of 20,000 feet for surveillance and 18,000 feet for attack missions, an endurance of 14 hours for surveillance and 7 hours for attack missions, and a real-time data link range of 300 kilometres plus SATCOM BLoS capabilities at the drone’s full ranges of 1,050 kilometres.

The drone also features automated takeoff and landing, retractable landing gears, asymmetric landing and incorporates composites in the airframe to make the drone lighter and more aerodynamically maneuverable.

Several types of surveillance payloads can also be integrated into the armed drome, including the new Zumr-II EO/IR turret, and targeting pod, and synthetic aperture radars (SAR) as well as COMINT/ELIMT payloads.

The drone is Pakistan’s entry into the mid-range tactical MALE UCAV market, to complement the TB-2 but with a more competitive price.

It is expected that the Pakistan Armed Forces will be the first customer of the drone, before being offered to likely several countries in Africa, South America, and the Middle East.

The Pakistan Armed Forces would be able to produce the drone in large quantities as and when needed, giving it a considerable boost in tactical armed drone capabilities and a versatile, relatively cheap, indigenous armour-killer for use on the eastern front.

Text Quote "on two weapons stations able to handle 60 kgs of municipal each." That is awesome, Pak needs hundreds of these to clear out all the dead weight in most of its municipalities through out the country. However, something tells me that they will have to up the carrying capacity by double or triple fold per hard-point.

Also on the twitter post: "feet for attack missions, " taking a wild guess, "fit" is what they were trying to convey ? Correction, "feet" is likely correct, missing leading # in the twitter post.

PS: I work for a Utility owned by a Municipality, thus couldn't resist the joke.

Anyway, end product looks good, good work.

I was wondering about the improvements it has over CH-3. Thanks for linking the brochures!

Do Pakistan have these ?

The average iq level being displayed here in this particular thread really blows my mind.

Turkey has really demonstrated that it leads the World in UAV development and its been proven in Libya, Syria and Azerbaijan

Pakistan has a very good industry to do this also

but unfortunately Pakistan has too many areas to work on and budget is limited

so we should join hand with Turkey and co-operate more with on the UAV side
