Pakistan UAVs News & Discussions

[Tariq Habib Afridi]

We are not flush with cash like a lot of countries obviously.

Regarding MANPADS against drones. Two issues:
1. These have an IR (now IR+UV) seeker that is looking for heat. Unless it is a big drone you will have a REALLY hard time to establish a lock. Practically you won't get a lock ever. So useless as is.
2. The cost-to-target ratio and the complication-to-target ratios are bad. A MANPAD is an expensive system operated by a team of two trained soldiers and has one round.

This makes MANPADS especially poor for countering drone swarms.

There isn't consensus yet but I see two viable approaches:
1. CIWS type systems that have guns with specialized fuzed rounds and tracking systems (optical + radar) with maybe an option of really cheap missiles.
2. Counter drone drones. High speed drones that are meant to kill other drones. These are now being built with fire and forget features.

Thank..what if a small manpad kind of laser gun? If desinged, will that work?

Stupid amounts of power needed. Cannot be man portable with current tech.

I am fairly sure PAF is being even more careful this time and not revealing any of its cards.
