PAF Conducts Successful Test Launch of Taimoor ALCM

[RAMPAGE]

Yep, mirages will be phased out by 2030 even now they are not that numerous for a sustained volley rate

Perhaps they will make a JF-17 block 4 after all.

 

[hasssanali8998]

it can't be carried by thunders J10C is debatable

why ,how did you make that assumption . ofc it will eventually be integrated with jf17

 

[Auqab13]

no shit its a missile

usually you will see them hitting the ground or airbound before reaching the target withing a few meters. Look at pretty much any other missile testing clip. I'm not sure whether its the angle or what not, but i couldn't see anything hitting the ground before it started digging dirt.

Edit: towards, the end you see it, but cant see it before it hits the ground

also this is not the thread to discuss this , pls go to paf thread

 

[Areesh]

also this is not the thread to discuss this , pls go to paf thread

This deserves a separate thread

But apparently some extremely competent mod has merged it in some thread that nobody can find

Exactly my Q? Why can't we integrate to JF-17 as well as J-10CE?

JF 17 does carry raad, so I don't see an issue on why it wouldn't carry taimoor.

Researchers have many questions about the modernization of Pakistan’s nuclear-capable aircraft and associated air-launched cruise missiles.

lmao tumhe merge na krde

 

[falcon34]

this is just a test man , i am sure they will integrate them later when the CM is developed and in production

This developed missile, Raad has been in service for quite some this was just show India we have conventional version of Raad that's gonna hit, this is quite well in production missile

 

[hasssanali8998]

with 600 km now what we can target?

its range in 290 km not 600 that is raad2

 

[falcon34]

its range in 290 km not 600 that is raad2

PAF itself quoted 600km
03 January, 2026: Pakistan Air Force has successfully conducted the flight test of the indigenously developed Taimoor Weapon System, marking another significant milestone in the advancement of national aerospace and defence capabilities. Taimoor Air-Launched Cruise Missile is capable of engaging enemy land and sea targets with high precision at a range of 600 kilometers, carrying a conventional warhead. Equipped with state-of-the-art navigation and guidance system, Taimoor is designed to fly at very low altitudes, enabling it to effectively evade hostile air and missile defence systems. Its precision-strike capability significantly enhances the conventional deterrence and operational flexibility of Pakistan Air Force, further strengthening the country’s overall defence posture. The successful flight test underscores the technical maturity, innovation and self-reliance achieved by Pakistan’s defence industry. The launch was witnessed by senior officers of the Pakistan Armed Forces, along with distinguished scientists and engineers who played a pivotal role in the development of this advanced weapon system.

Ground clearance brother it's been discussed before, it's not about source code or anything we can integrate whatever we want on Jeff's
Only block 3s have better ground clearance.
Though @side-winder can shed more light on this matter

 

[hasssanali8998]

Ground clearance brother

pretty dumb to make a ALCM that your future jets cant carry , raad 2 was tested on mirages too before being integrated . you are making assumption out of nothing

INDIAN PUNJAB IS APPROX 150 KM WIDE (From east to west ) AND AROUND 300KM LONG(from north to south)..it has a lot of facilites.... some include :
CANTTONEMMENTS:
Amritsar Cantt
Bathinda Cantt
Ferozpur Cantt
Jalandhar Cantt
Kapurthala Cantt
Ludhiana Cantt
Mamun Cantt
Faridkot Cantt
Abohar Cantt
Baddowal Cantt
Fazilka Cantt

AIRFORCE STATIONS:
Adampur AFS
Amritsar AFS
Halwara AFS
Bhatinda AFS
(probably missed a lot)

FADs AND ABODs:
12 FAD,ludhiana
23FAD/223ABOD ,Surannusi
33FAD,dappar Mohali
36FAD,Bhatinda cantt
(still finding a lot of stuff)

NUCLEAR GRAVITY BOMB/SSBM STORAGE:
Jalhandar SFC facilty(heavilty gaurded)
-Some say it has gravity bombs while others
say it is a prithvi garrison....

BRAHMOS AND SSM SITES:
Jalandhar brahmos depo
Beas brahmos storge site
Brahmos 1 facility at Halwara
(every FAD and AFS mentioned
can house brahmos in storage )


-All of this is just opens ource info..it needs a lot of filling and tracking down and probably i have listed a lot less facilities and have excluded the Radar sites of IAF and ABM bunkers and what not....

just go and watch video diacription i think its highlighted here
here is the descrription from video

Air Chief Marshal Zaheer Ahmed Baber Sidhu, Chief of the Air Staff, Pakistan Air Force, heartily congratulated the scientists, engineers and the entire PAF team on this remarkable achievement. He lauded their professional excellence, dedication and unwavering commitment to strengthening Pakistan’s defence capabilities. The Air Chief reaffirmed that such accomplishments are a testament to the nation’s resolve to achieve technological self-sufficiency and maintain a credible conventional deterrent in the evolving regional security environment. The successful test of the Taimoor weapon system reflects Pakistan Air Force’s continued pursuit of operational readiness, technological superiority and national security objectives.

yeah sorry my mistake , @Quwa had it listed at 290 km (maybe 290 is for export and we have the 600km version)

I could be wrong but this was discussed quite well in the old PDF
@JamD need your analysis both on the missiles and ground clearance of the jeff.
Actually taimoor is Raad 2 with a new seeker
