What can Pakistan can purchase to improve air defense?

[jupiter2007]

Has anyone heard of AV-TM 300 Brazilian cruise missile program?

Pakistan has Babur... Even without Babur, China is a much better option than Brazil.

It seems similar in concept to Babur. Pakistan's priority should be to build upon what it has to extend the range of its missiles. I'm guessing this is an issue of finding (or making) more fuel efficient engines, lighter airframes, and/or newer flight control systems. I think researching into conventional warheads is another area worth exploring.

We should get the Denel system SAMs

They usually do ToT which will be beneficial too.

No, it isn't proper actually. HQ-16 (40KM) is in no way sufficient for protection of Pakistani airspace .

HQ16 has more than 40km range!!

 

[Philip the Arab]

HQ16 has more than 40km range!!

No, it doesn't.

HQ-16 (Hongqi-16) - Co-developed by China and Russia,[71][72] believed to be based on either the SA-11 or SA-17.[71] Credited with a range of 40 km. Also known as the HQ-16A

China will sell to you but frankly Pakistan is not buying any systems for now, so what are we talking about here ??? your best options are China then Russia then Iran and Turkey, i do not see US or any US ally sell you long range air defense system.

Pakistan already bought a lot of SAMs from China...

yes but i'm not seeing any request for a long range one, did you hear any news from Pakistan that indicate they are looking for one any time soon??

Pakistani army leadership is retarded for this. China would almost certainly provide them with FD-2000 if they actually put in serious requests instead of their usual shit.

They rely on AF for protection stupidly while not taking factoring in India's superiority in terms on numbers and heavy fighters (Su-30MKI) to light fighters (JF-17, F-16) which isn't a contest.



I made this map with HQ-9 as big circle, Sky Dragon 50 as smaller circle, FM-90 as smaller circle, and Anza as smallest. This is a crude layered air defence that I, a 16 year old made with limited knowledge. Balakot strike would have been easier to spot, and dispatch of Indian fighters with SAMs had Pakistan actually invested in SAMs.

Also, would like to congratulate Iran on Bavar-373. Iran's relationship with Arab states is trash but in another dimension we could have bought it.
