PAF Conducts successful test of indigenously developed FAAZ BVRAAM

[Yasser76]

So limited to no home production. What gives any country edge is their production capability. Look at Russia-Ukraine war. No one can sustain or win a war by buying weapons. So more optics than anything else.

That is why Pakistan is making this weapon, what is your point? Maybe think harder?

A picture is worth a thousand words. You're welcome to go back and look at the pictures already provided and draw your own conclusions.

I shouldn't have to spell out what is plainly visible.

Spend less time coping over Pakistani products and more time on getting Tejas airborne.

Yup, when AMRAAMs were downing MIGs in 2019 and PL-15s downing Rafales last year think this little clown would have popped up and said "But not made in Pakistan saaar!"

Any knowledgeable person can tell the difference bw dual thrust and dual pulse motors?

Any knowledgeable person can tell the difference bw dual thrust and dual pulse motors?

Dual thrust has a boost phase fast burning motor and a slower burning sustain sustainer but fires in single burn.

Dual pulse have two separate burns, one initial and one later to give increased range and increased terminal phase energy for better kinematics.

Missed opportunity - should've named it

We will get there and we will catch up.

But you never will. Because you never tried. It is all about the short cut with you guys.

Pakistani can ride past you on a bike and you will be there trying to invent a wheel as it is "Made in Indian saar!"

We too a short cut. That is a frickin compliment in the defence industry you utter clown....

more apt example would be India raising its hands just after two days of pummelling

A significant reason of having IIR variant is to target stealth aircraft from what is learnt from Iran damaging F-35.

The heat seeker also doesn't activate enemy aircraft's RWR or EW suite.

• The Pakistani Army announced the successful launch of the first air-to-air missile developed locally by Pakistan, named "Faza," in a step described as a significant advancement toward enhancing self-reliance in defense industries and aerospace technology. A statement from the Pakistani military's media directorate clarified that the missile is equipped with an advanced guidance system, designed to track and engage hostile aerial targets at ranges exceeding 100 kilometers for the initial version, reaching approximately 180 kilometers in the upcoming version.

For that 180km range, the basic principle is same.

Fire FAAZ towards the target location without locking it, send updates via datalink for path correction, then the IIR camera sees a high-resolution, two-dimensional thermal image.

The missile’s onboard computer runs image-processing algorithms to isolate the aircraft's silhouette from the background sky, clouds, or ground clutter. Once it locks onto that shape, the data link from the launching jet shuts down. The missile is now completely autonomous and locks onto aircraft heat silhouette.

IIR seeker sees the shape of aircraft so unlike AIm-9, it cannot be fooled by flares.

Very good image that describes the difference between IR and IIR and why the FAAZ is such a "game changer".. ie the silhouette image.
