Hi so if you calculate 85NM is comes to roughly 152 km but may be for static
Thank you
Thank you

Bro are you still in Cranfield!!! I live very near to CIT.I am a graduate of Cranfield institute of technology. a master's in aircraft design.
The maximum range of any SAM or Air to air missile is always for static target or very slow moving such as a helicopter.Hi so if you calculate 85NM is comes to roughly 152 km but may be for static

Hi thanks for your reply So for a say we can say 120/130 km for moving targets is sufficientThe maximum range of any SAM or Air to air missile is always for static target or very slow moving such as a helicopter.
By the time a missile reaches maximum range, it has no fuel and no kinetic energy to maneuver.
Electronics are about to burn as coolant has depleted , and batteries about to drain.

Hi that’s a very detailed and knowledgeable reply for meUsually it's 60-70 % of the stated maximum range.
Then again it depends upon so many variables.
The targeting information is based on Kalman filter.
Calculations take time and any changes in variable, such as target position , heading and speed, wastes precious Mili seconds as the missile or the aircraft computer is calculating new coordinates.
It all depends on early detection of a missile launch.
If the target aircraft starts maneuvering straight away. The missile will also have to keep maneuvering and by doing that, keep losing precious energy.
By the time the missile reaches target , it may have lost so much energy that it's subsonic now and target jet can easily evade
Then throw in jamming or disruption of radar signal and communication, and the picture won't look good for the missile.
@Socra may have few things to say about it.
I highly doubt it is totally indigenous.... If for real it might be some Chinese missile adopted by Pakistan...
No brother I graduated years ago. Now near SouthamptonBro are you still in Cranfield!!! I live very near to CIT.
It doesn't matter.I highly doubt it is totally indigenous.... If for real it might be some Chinese missile adopted by Pakistan...
This isn't under project Azm. It's an SPD org product (obviously), that has been in development hell for many years. Honestly, I have no idea if this is just a CAD model or an actual product.@Bilal Khan (Quwa) @JamD the range of the bvr seems exceptionally long. What’s the likelihood we will see this BVR anytime soon s
An Air to Air missile used against civilians....on the ground.....no interest just another toy which will be used own countrymen/women
