Pakistan's UAV - Drone developments

[Path-Finder]

This Falco Xplorer has Pakistan written all over it!

Agreed. I'm just glad the local guy still exists in the presence of the imported designs.

There is one bigger size UCAV at mureed airbase

We need license production of these for Afghanistan border.

Falco, Burraq, and Shahpar in one picture for the first time (at PAF Murid):

Don't see any weapons pylons on the Burraq. This looks like the recon/ISR variant that GIDS put up for show at IDEAS 2018. I remember examing the under-wing areas of the Burraq on display there. There were no weapon pylons (obviously) but brackets/mounting areas were present and clearly defined.

Yes. I have some theories on this. Obviously just speculation:
1. PA uses the armed version, while PAF uses the ISR version
2. GIDS (or whatever) is allowed to export (if they can get customers) the ISR version and NOT the armed version (as seen by the hurried blacking out of the missile on the poster at IDEAS 2018).

We should be working on something like this....

Why buy that when we already operate wing loong 2?

That is most likely the case.
But IMO, all these hopes and efforts for export appear to be just a futile exercise. Just some 'movement' for the sake of appearing to be doing something - to mask the fact that we are terribly uncompetitive as far as the exports of such systems are concerned. And it is not due to the technical merits of the product. It is the marketing efforts that lack spirit and effectiveness.

Very good development

Chinese stuff is not cheap and they don't sell us their latest technology. If we build a good relationship with Italian firms, we might be able to get hightech from them without getting sanction from USA.

Not sure which business genius thought we could sell an unarmed CH-3 in a market where China is selling the armed version. What's the unique selling point here?

YES. YES. EXACTLY. *elated*

I just wish I could share some anecdotes about the actual decision-making process that goes into such genius business ideas. Have some genuine horror stories. But alas, national secorty. Don't want a black Vigo at my door.
