PAF Conducts Successful Test Launch of Taimoor ALCM

[RAMPAGE]

and thats a very good thing...we need something to reply with...

Not to mention it's the need of the hour.

 

[Princeps]

but EO/IIR are always visible

not necessarily, SCALP has a IIR seeker under the nose cone. The nose cone is jettisoned only in the terminal phase

 

[Dalit]

Is it just me or the missile looks too bulky? like as compared to the scalp its huge...
Maybe we are using less efficient turbines,bulky batteries and what not???

Perhaps it's bulkier because the missile punches more power and distance.

wese guys US attacked Venezuela
i checked and there are more members here than a thread about an active war

Can it be integrated to Jf17, last I heard was ground clearance is the issue?.

I don't think ground clearance should be an issue (i don't have exact dimensions of taimoor) but here is visual comparison. 800 ltrs fuel pod on JF 17 vs taimoor on mirage.

Apologies if it came across the wrong way. Let’s keep the discussion technical.

Ra’ad has a conventional nose radome profile. It does not show an EO/IR-style seeker window at the tip like the Taimur which has been seen with an optical dome. That points to a different terminal guidance approach and different target engagement.

in the start of video its seeker is cover as @Bilal already said . also other members also highlight it

Its More important comparing how many fins it has with raad

 

[ustaad]

we don't have the source code , so cant do it without China .

source code of what?

May not be a question of "why not JF-17", I think we have special Mirages rigged up for such tests (with monitoring equipment, cameras etc). If this was a test to check the actual missile, integration tests with different aircraft may well come later

What I meant was, considering Dr Samar’s interview to be true. Maybe in the earlier versions it was covered by nose cone , which would jettison off near target to expose the EO seeker.

In Taimoor, the cover is removed right before the aircraft takeoff, probably manually.

helps that we can modify mirage without outside help

Don’t know if it’s wired to launch or WiFi/tablet interface.

got it janab in the start of the video it was covered

Exactly, we are probably the world experts with Mirage III/5 even more so then France now.

For conventional warfare we have taimoor , rasoob cm 400 kg .
