Yes, mushaq engine, not super mushaq one, must have had their weight, balance and fuel consumption reasons.

CH-4 orders were by the army iirc. PAF has WL-1 and WL-2.

I was not sure and asked detresfa_, and he said, he thinks they are for the PAF, but I welcome every correction.

Pak Army and Pak Navy bought CH 4. Air Force bought Wing Long II

it is possible yes But as far as we know the Army and Navy purchased CH4A and B models. The Air force bought both WL-1 and WL-2. The Air Force is also going to induct another UCAV it seems, ANKA-S or the PAC MALE UCAV, different weight and size classes for different roles I guess.

CH-4 are for Army, WL2s were meant for PAF and far greater in number.

Frankly the fact that each service is buying different drones from the same source (China) for the same purpose is frankly stupid. There needs to be a better alignment between the forces to keep costs down. If the role is the same then get the same drone across services.

 

[The Eagle]

If the role is the same then get the same drone across services.

Do you see a manufacturer builds different drones for same rule? I don't see different drones inducted with same rule which in the end sounds like, having the likes for the name sake or design. Specific role for particular drone attracts respective service accordingly.

yep WL2s are heavy attack and for PAF and the Anka/pac uav are light isr/attack for paf , while Shahpar-2 is simply a ISR UAV with Satcom capabilities , while PAA has CH4s for medium attack role

This type of Drone is must for Pakistan's border areas. Specially in forts which are being build along Pak Afghan border and also on Iranian border. This doesn't need a runway and in case of attack on those posts they can immediately deployed. Also on ships.

This should be made part of the weapon system to counter huge indian armor threat. Very cheap, big numbers, easily deployable, high rate of survivability due to low rcs and visual signature, can be made locally, no loss of human if it goes down, can be made locally, so many benefits.
Keep attack helis for critical missions, get these for armor formations attack.

There are many VTOL UCAVs in Chinese inventory
