It is a very useful backup to have incase IAF/IA goes for standoff saturation attacks, we will still need something to deny the enemy air superiority. AM Aamir rtd has spoken about drawn conflicts, and how PAF will struggle.
A drawn conflict will be detrimental to Pak military as attrition piles up, similar to how Allied economical superiority eventually caught up to the Japanese latter during the war. It will be at the start of the conflict, when both countries will be evenly matched and that is when Pakistan must finish the war. I am sure the Air force was wary of this in the past but now that they will be fighting combined under the CDF and not some patwari or Insafi, I believe their concerns will be better addressed.
is there any information or specs available about this system? like range, radar , number of targets it can engage etc?
I don't think they are being procured for air base defense..........seems more like a system to accompany hi value mobile launchers, like that for Fatah and Babur missile launchers to protect them from UAV threats or other threats.....give them enough chance to launch missiles before TELs are hit by the enemy.
