Well, with UAV’s (drones) becoming more common and cheaper, I guess there could be a need for such systems, especially in anti -drone/ terror scenarios. I think if Pakistan had been moving -away from gun-based short-range anti-air missiles is a mistake. Missiles can be defeated , bullets cant. Gun base platform are so relevant in a modern war vs drones etc .

What about the barage of anti drone systems previously shown in ISPR video, were they operated by Army only??

See? Do you agree now that air defence is still useful?

Any advances is a laser-based system? Or is it too sci-fi at this stage?

All these 4 AD systems are short range, wonder if PAF or PA itself are in talks to order more HQ-9B's or some other medium to long range AD systems.

I reckon that PAF thinks that the Indians are not coming anywhere near PAF airspace anytime soon, India may focus on long range SOW deployment outside the range of the PL15E in the near term until they can get their airforce fixed.

Yeah but we need some decent air coverage within 50-100km inside india if PAF plans on attacking Indian Airbases with fighters, we don't have a lot of stand-off weapons, we have Fateh-series but they are not enough.

It always comes down to money. ie more HQ-9B or more J-35AE(/J10CE's/JF17C) ? And Pakistan is doesn't have that. btw - if PAF or PA funding/owning the HQ-9B's ? Whose funding pot is that from?
