Sea Sultan Long-Range MPA | Updates & Discussion

[Reichmarshal]

The price you pay for going for an out of production platform. Should have gone for a platform that's in production at least.

Baat is all about ur sincerity n loyalty to ur country. But when it comes to money most of these gens./AM/admirals would send their mother for a quick buck.

If I remember correctly, questions were raised in Riksdag (Swedish parliament) on Erieye sale to Pakistan.

Yes, not only that, India all of a sudden started to show "great interest" in Gripen's to a degree that they told SAAB they will do a local manufacturing agreement, meaning first buying near 100 jets for full price and then paying for TOT / assembly in India for the rest. This was supposed to be their MRCA contract that they instead got the Rafales for and are now getting 100 more.

After many negotiations with the Indians, Saab realized it was all gas. India was just flashing money without substance and they really had no interest in Gripen beyond evaluation that also designed to fool them in believing India was serious. It was done ONLY to stop Erieye sales to Pakistan. Saab realized it on time and didn't cancel Pakistani orders but we were told that their parliament might do so.

This is how cheap and deceitful our enemy is!

Kindly refrain from quoting or sharing tweets from the account "Zephyrus." It appears that the individual often posts information without verifying the facts.

For instance, in this tweet he claimed that the Sea Sultan has outer hardpoints, whereas the Pakistan Navy has clearly stated that the missiles will be carried under the fuselage, not on hardpoints.

Previously, he also inaccurately claimed that the Jinnah-class frigates are based on the Istanbul-class, when in fact, they are derived from ASFAT’s AS3600 design.

Abb kya he kr skty hayn bhai.

Abb kya he kr skty hayn bhai.

Jokes aside, we all learn from mistakes and make corrections.

That said, it would be appreciated if proper information is verified before posting, particularly matters like defense acquisitions.

Repeatedly making such avoidable mistakes does not reflect well on the person sharing them.

An SU 35 intercepting a p8 posiden over black sea...Its carrying an ANAPS-149 Literal surveillance radar...it contains a wide aperture ASA sensor with ground moving target indicator..meaning it can track moving targets both on land and at sea...its different from its original radar as said in articles etc....an somebody explain why the need for this rather then its orginal radar?..

APS-154 is a SAR based MTI used for both marine and land targets.

Standard nose radar and provides excellent general maritime/littoral capability (weather, tracks, surface search). The AAS is an additional/alternate sensor used for missions needing higher imaging fidelity or special ISR modes — it supplements rather than universally replaces the APY-10.
TAN/APS-154 AAS is a much more capable, multifunction AESA sensor than the P-8’s baseline nose radar — it gives the aircraft wide-area, high-resolution imaging and moving-target detection over land and sea (including fine SAR/ISAR imagery and MTI/GMTI), near-360° coverage from its dual AESA faces, and the ability to detect/classify much smaller or slower targets (and even surface-wake signatures) in all weather and day/night. Those are things the P-8’s normal nose radar (AN/APY-10 / legacy APS radars) can’t do at the same range, resolution or operational flexibility.
AAS is sensitive enough to detect faint surface disturbances (wakes) that can betray submerged submarines — a capability not generally available from the standard nose radar.

How do you carry the missiles under the fuselage without a hard point?

If I remember correctly, PN was looking at a rotary missile launcher system housed within the fuselage

 

[Aamir Hussain]

ATR of PN have pylons attached to the main fuselage.

It will most probably have a bombay for torpedos like the p8...and pylons will be there for anti ship missiles....

Original radar inside P-8 is a search radar limited to ISR purposes. This plane was designed for anti-submarine warfare with limited ISR capability and other sensors.

Later, due to available space inside the plane, it was determined it could also have a couple of stations dedicated to an AWACS type of a role. So APS-149 was tested by mounting under belly.

This is essentially a fire control / target radar. It can feed long range target data back to F/A-18's for stand off engagements for targets beyond P-8's scope.
