PAF Conducts successful test of indigenously developed FAAZ BVRAAM

[Mrc]

Heat seeker anti stealth . Will work with integrated air defnce at such ranges as most heat seekers are short range

thats the idea....i assume.

a longer range variant would increase the range obviously . but note theses are slower then conventional bvraams with radars.

also note you wont be seeing the pl-10 in service as this would a successor to it, wont be surprised if it uses the same seeker

I think it is more likely it is using a home grown seeker, or even a Turkish one. I don't think it would be a Chinese seeker, as the Chinese tend to not break up the components of systems that they prefer you buy whole from them.

Gotta say..., am a bit surprised that there is no information on this Missile by Global Industrial & Defence Solutions on their website: GIDS

Faaz & Faaz2 remained listed on GIDS website for atleast 3 to 4 years.

here's archived snapshot

BTW, there were people who used to say block-1s will be pretty soon phased out lol.. I used to be amazed when we fly ancient F7PGs / Mirages with zero BVR capability and they think generations newer block-1 would be phased out "soon".

PAC overhaul capability was achieved for a reason. PAF will never let go of block 1s until atleast mid 2040s. Such a easy affordable, maintenance with massive local capabilities and no strings attached fighter is a gem. Now look block-1s/2s got BVR range of AMRAAMs. They can even be employed at strike role, anti-ship, anti-surface, SEAD / DEAD, things which our F-16 fleet can't even dream to achieve. Not saying our F-16s are useless, they are pretty decent but JF-17s B-1s/2s are extremely valuable and will serve for a long time to come.

The FAAZ-series missiles might be used on UCAVs one day too.
