Is this a new launch picture?

 

[hussain0216]

Anyone know the range of this weapons system?

Is it 280km and kept to export restrictions, or is it up to 600km?

Anyone know?

Nobody knows but I can give you a very logical opinion.

We named it. So it's localized. Which means it will go the full range.

Whenever we give it our own name, it means it's the full throated version and no longer a Chinese weapon. So China does not have to worry about export restrictions.

Yeahhh that's what I thought

It would be interesting to know that if we got PL15 is it the 'E' version or the full whack PL15

I got a feeling it will be the proper PL15

Is the harbah NG different to the normal Harbah cruise missile and is Harbah also part of costal defence for Pakistan

I'm trying to work out at what range can we hammer Indian ships from our coast

 

[Tremain]

Yep.

When it's Pak and China, "expect the unexpected".

is Harbah also part of costal defence for Pakistan

I think Harbah is ship to ship and ship to shore.

Zarb is shore to ship.

At least that's what I recall.

 

[Tremain]

Is the harbah NG different to the normal Harbah cruise missile

Next Gen.... That's what the name suggests.

As we are trying to sell the missile, it is downgraded from it''s true range.
