Any idea what happened to Shahpar III? It was supposed to have it's first flight by end of 2023 and available for export in 2024.

Half the year is gone, never even saw the maiden flight.

This GIDS is by far our best defense company. It’s doing all the right things in a rapidly changing defense industry. If they go public, I’d be happy to buy their shares on PSX.

Acc. to informed members here,S-3 is still in initial stages of development.GIDS really jumped the gun in S-3 case.

Alas, Was looking forward to it. Only serious indigenous drone under development that had the specs to replace future Ch-4, TB2 procurements.

You do realise that Pakistan has yet to design and build an aircraft of such complexity without partnering with a major aviation company?

There is an excellent chance that it will never fly - at least without external collaboration.

Ah yes the PAC TD1 and Shahpar 2 MALE UAVs were all built by khalai mhaklooq

What is it with u guys

From what I remember, and I might be wrong, the first UAV was too heavy. At least it never made it to mass production. As for Shahper II, it is not in the same league as the proposed Shahpar III. However, I will amend my original statement for the sake of accuracy:

Pakistan has yet to design, build, and mass-produce an aircraft of such complexity without partnering with a major aviation company.

2023. Gone.
2024. Gone.
2025, almost gone.

Is Shahpar Pakistan's Tejas? Obsolete by the time of production and hence never mass produced. Told to upgrade to meet the current needs, by the time upgrade finishes, it's obsolete again and never goes into mass production, again. Rinse, repeat.

 

[RAMPAGE]

Still no Shahpar 3.

Some senior/informed member did term PAF drone acquisition as an equivalent of the Tejas fuckup...

There will always be a need for an S3 class drone for Pakistan. Afghanistan doesn't have any airforce or SAM batteries. Drones are ideal for strike roles across the border. If Afghanistan does ever get off the ground and develop anti-air capabilities the S3 will still serve as an excellent ISR platform to guard the international border. Costs less to fly than a JF17, can carry a decent strike package and can loiter for hours ensuring constant coverage of the border.

@diaspora

You need all kinds of drones. From cheap ones which can be manufactured in lakhs to high end ones which can almost replicate fighter jets.
