It's time to test the ICBM.

There we have it. The timing is spot on. We need something substantial here. It is time to wake up everyone.

How is this a kamikaze drone & not a cruise missile?
It says that it is canister launched. Does that mean it has folding wings?

Today's suicide UAVs and cruise missiles are very similar in many characteristics, and they have no absolutely obvious distinguishing features.

1. Propulsion power:
Suicide UAVs use battery/motor propulsion systems, and there are also turbofan engine propulsion systems, but it is rare to hear of suicide UAVs using rocket engine propulsion systems (China's WZ-8 uses rocket engines, but it is a reconnaissance UAV). Of course, I do not rule out the possibility of suicide UAVs using rocket engine propulsion systems in the future.
Cruise missiles usually use turbofan engine propulsion systems, and there are also rocket engines. There are also cruise missiles with turbofan engine + rocket engine dual propulsion systems, but there are no cruise missiles using battery/motor propulsion systems.
The propulsion systems of the two overlap. According to public information, some small turbofan engines are used for both UAVs and cruise missiles. Therefore, it is difficult for us to distinguish them by propulsion system or flight speed. Due to this phenomenon, it is also difficult for us to distinguish them by size/weight/explosive power.

2. Launch method:
In this regard, the two completely overlap. Both have static launch methods and boosted launch methods. Both also have airdrop launch methods...
China has gun-launched UAVs and gun-launched cruise missiles...

3. Flight control system:
The early cruise missile flight control system was relatively simple, but the current advanced cruise missile flight control system is very similar to that of UAVs. They also have advanced image sensors, data communication links, autonomous target recognition, autonomous hazard avoidance and other capabilities similar to UAVs.
Therefore, the flight control system cannot accurately distinguish them.

I think the only thing that can distinguish them is: "Can it return?"
No matter what type of UAV, it can almost return. If a suicide UAV fails to achieve the mission objective during its mission, it can also return.
We have never heard that a launched cruise missile can return... Maybe only India's missiles can return...

issue is from where, and is there any point...?

Or a miniature turbofan engine could also solve the issue of range

Last year, a team from within AECC was separated and established a private company in cooperation with the local government. The company specializes in producing the latest small turbofan engines, mainly to power UAVs.
The company mainly produces three products:
600Kgf-class turbofan engine
100Kgf-class turbojet engine
60KW-class hybrid power system

Very sure. The product can be exported.

I think it's sub launched Babur, it can't be P282.
Smash has a range of 350kms.
I don't know why they aren't testing p282 they had built it's storage facility like 2-3 yrs ago.

 

[falcon34]

That's what I was wondering

P282 was mentioned in construction tender 2-3 yrs ago.
The tender was for it's storage facility

Sometimes these things might take time

Smash itself will eventually see longer and longer ranges

I thought we landed on SMASH being the under development P282 missile. Have there been any developments since then that I have missed?

Pak Navy doesn't have any significant ISR network so long range Anti Ship ballistic missiles don't make any sense for PN .
Shorter Range ones like SMASH fit well into PN's current ISR network.

Anything less then hypersonic missile will be waste of our time and budget.

Is Hamid Mir and Mushahid Hussain hinting at something? What could that be?

watch from 17:00. These people tend to have inside info.

Propaganda serves its purpose.

However, when you start believing your own Propaganda then that is a serious problem.

This happens:



Indians did not learn after the above. They simply went full retard consuming their own propaganda even more.

We can see the fruits of that here. Fully grown "men" from india thumping their 32 inch chests like there's no tomorrow.

what is the update on the new missile test

what is the update on the new missile test

I believe notam was ended earlier today
