PAF Conducts successful test of indigenously developed FAAZ BVRAAM

[Hakikat ve Hikmet]

I wonder if PAF has any plans for a loyal wingman type of drones that can carry two of the FAAZ missiles ? will be very helpful for pilots, and overall war effort against taking out Indian 2nd tier fighters like Mirage 2000, mig-29's and Teja bhai if it flies.

I'm pretty sure the PAF will induct stealthy KEs in numbers. And, KE is being geared toward independent ops with targets being the Greek Rafales...

You have no clue what Pakistan can make in house most here dont. Yes, some parts are imported, everyone does that. Even the US imports Chinese components for its defence industry. That does not make the entire missile Chinese, nor does it mean there are no local alternatives or redundancies. stop undrestimating your own country.

Even f35 has a lot of Chinese parts

This is a classic misconception.

There is a world of difference between the production model used by the U.S. defense industry—which incorporates Chinese-made components—and similar models employed by other nations.

When your friends are having "pleasant dreams," it is best not to wake them up abruptly; doing so would be quite impolite.
However, when your friends mistakenly take these "pleasant dreams" for reality, you must wake them up. This is a responsible thing to do for a friend.

Both are local

If you're going to claim something with certainty, at least share your sources.

 

[Toxic]

Yes even the dimensions are same

Except they aren't, FAAZ is longer and heavier than the SD-10.

Even f35 has a lot of Chinese parts

That's a bombshell news , deserves to be CNN headline.

Are we going to play this game
What was anza??
Do you think Pakistan has any industry to develop the seekers and electronics

What a bizarre argument to make.

China remains an exception, wherein high spec manufacturing can be largely vertically integrated with a domestic supply line for components, electronics, chips etc. Every other country on earth needs an international supply chain for production of jets, missiles, cars, etc.

In fact, the automotive industry is a good comparison here. Europe has been flooded with cheap Chinese electric vehicles, undercutting the established Euro/Jap brands who dominated here, like VW, Nissan etc.

That undercutting on price is NOT due to some deficiency in quality (as the propaganda might have one believe), but rather because the Chinese benefit from something the Euro/Jap brands do not - vertical integration and a domesticated supply chain. That massive cost saving can be passed on to the consumer.

No country but China (for now) can achieve the integration you allude to.

That also doesn't mean Pakistan should give up and buy everything off the shelf. On the contrary, Pakistan is well placed to source critical components from China, to then proceed with domestic design and production. The Faaz project is a massive step in the right direction. Indeed, it is a natural continuation of the philosophy that brought us the JF17.

This is a milestone achievement, considering that only a few countries in the world are capable of manufacturing beyond-visual-range air-to-air missiles.Although FAAZ and SD10They have similar shapes and sizes, but The SD10 missile does not have a version with an infrared visual seeker.When developing new missiles, everyone will inevitably refer to existing, mature, and similar missiles.This missile might, like the JF-17, receive overseas orders.

Now JF 17 Will be offered as a complete package....

What complete package? Was it incomplete before? Relax, it's just one missile. We're probably at least a decade away from being able to offer a complete AA missile suite. I doubt we'd be exporting any JF-17s then.
