[araz]

koi ni aik maheena wait karlo march mey sab ka pata chal jayey ga
p.s the previous PAF WL-2 , PA CH4 and PN CH4 news by him were all correct so i think its pretty much true

I cannot make any sense of procurement from multiple sources. Do you have any inkling about the rationale. Help appreciated.

Perhaps they are coming with ToT, which is to be utilised in local designs? Perhaps there was an exigent requirement for an anti-armour and air-support platform, and the TB-2 was the most proven and easily procurable option, especially since local designs lacked endurance and payload capacity? Perhaps the rationale constitutes both these conjectures?

Can someone please tell me why we are not using Mushak's engine in any of our UAVs? @Bilal Khan (Quwa) @JamD

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.

Sir will they be inducted in same number as WING LONG II

Will they be used in Balochistan?

By that, I mean, the their real use has started recently.

Can we some combat footage of drone strikes, striking terrorists?

it makes sense ,

PAF
Shahpar 1 / Shahpar 2 ( Light ISR )
TB-2 ( Light Attack )

Anka / Pac UAV ( MALE UAV Light )
WL-2 ( MALE UAV Heavy )


PA
CH4B ( MALE UAV Light )
To be acquired ( MALE UAV Heavy )


PN
CH4B ( MALE UAV Light )
To be acquired ( MALE UAV Heavy )


Joint Branch Service
Burraq ( Light Attack )


Unknown user ( Possibly MOI )
WL-1 ( MALE UAV Light )

Should have used S2 .
This can prove helpful for GIDS to export some these birds.

What do you think why TB 2 was acquired when S2 was there.


Highly disappointed by this news

can u plz analysis the situation why we are going for these many number of UCAVs systems, If I am not wrong including TB-2 we will have 5 different UCAV systems in Operation and if I count PAC MALE Dron and possible induction of TAI ANKA -S then the number of different system reach 7

So a simple and basic question Why these many different UCAVs ... ??

Why don't we release the footage. I mean just leak it to some people on twitter.

Don't include SHAPAR II in the list. Our forces haven't adopted it. This could very well be kept only for export.

Shahpar-2 ISR variant is in service with PAF , it was showed on ACES MEET 2021 poster
