Zarrar loves the sound of his own voice a little too much. Couldn't let the guy complete any sentence

dude could you tell me any info about Pakistan's micro turbojets? like the lahab series is basically solounox's SLX series renamed? and any info about the 1.2KN engine that solounox was making?
and other heavier engines like the recently unveiled indian drdo gtre atgg which is 350kg thrust class engine and we had ntjv1 of GIDS but that was old tech and was heavier in similar engines of its class like Turkish ktj series which deliver same thrust but weigh on 50kg while ntjv1 is 67kg.. @Bilal

With Pakistan's defence industry, there's a nuance that I like stressing: integration.

Pakistan generally lacks a lot of critical industries (but I believe we can develop those with good policy).

However, on integration, NESCOM is doing an excellent job. In 10 years, we went from only dreaming about armed UAVs to owning our very own MALE platforms in Shahpar 2 and -3.

And with Shahpar-3, NESCOM developed the entire platform, allowing it to integrate whichever sensors and munitions the armed forces might want.

Yes, is there a meta-level dependency on other countries for specific technologies and inputs? 100%. However, that does not take away from NESCOM being a fully capable OEM.

Pakistan’s Heavy Industries Taxila (HIT) unveiled two major long-range loitering munitions, the **D-248** and **S-369**, at the 2026 Indus Robotics and Autonomous Systems (RAS) Expo, marking the country's largest and furthest-reaching kamikaze drones to date.

**D-248**

• Design: Tailless delta-wing
• Range: 2,200 – 3,000 km
• Payload: 30 – 50 kg (MTOW: 240 kg)
• Wingspan: 3.3 m
• Speed: 185 km/h cruise | 225 km/h max
• Endurance &
Ceiling: 12 – 14 hours | up to 4,500 m altitude

**S-369**
• Design: Arrow-delta wing
• Range: 1,500 – 2,000 km
• Payload: 30 – 50 kg (MTOW: 215 – 225 kg)
• Wingspan: 4.0 m
• Speed: 160 – 180 km/h cruise | 220 km/h max
• Ceiling: up to 4,500 m altitude

Both systems significantly expand long-range precision strike capabilities, combining heavy warhead capacities with high-altitude, long-endurance flight.

Given the focus on UAV's right, it is not unbelievable either. These things are not exactly complicated systems to develop.

How different is this D-248 in specs when compared to Shahed-136?

Permits us to engage tragets like Port Blair.

I doubt it. Military has been interested in very long-range OWA since at least 2022, whe our attaché in Kyiv started sending back reports of Russian use.
