[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

Some things are left as a suprise - suprises are good

[PAFAce]

The Air Defense section of the three official PAF history books will help here. Also, Wiki is a pretty good place to start. AZADPAKISTAN2009 makes a good point, probably more than any other country in the region, we rely on our Air Defense Ground Environment quite heavily. In the early hours (maybe days) of war, we will rely on them to counter wave upon wave of Air attacks on Vulnerable Points and strategically important areas. Hence, the PAF likes to keep a fair bit of secrecy about the ADGE, it will be tougn to know things like the exact numbers, locations, etc.

High altitude
Chinese variant SA-2 Guideline SAM (Wiki calls it HQ-2)

Medium Altitude
MBDA Spada 2000 SAM (I've heard about this quite a bit, but it's never been confirmed)
Thales Crotale 4000 SAM

Low Altitude
Anza SAM (produced in Pakistan at KRL) MANPADs
American Stinger MANPADs
French Mistral MANPADs
Swedish RBS-70 MANPADs

Thx man can u also tell me the capability of Chinese variant SA-2 Guideline SAM aka HQ-2 please ..... regards

HQ-9 variant fd-2000
It’s the advance Chinese version of Russian s-300 SAM system and comparable to U.S. developed Patriot SAM system
It can be used both as anti aircraft as well as anti ballistic
I just want to know, is Pakistan really buying it or just a rumor

HQ-2 is Upgraded HQ-1 with additional ECCM capability to counter the System-13 ECM aboard U-2s flown by Republic of China Air Force Black Cat Squadron. Upgraded HQ-2s remain in service today, and the latest version utilizes passive phased array radar designated SJ-202, which is able to simultaneously track and engage multiple targets at 115 km and 80 km, respectively. The adoption of multifunction SJ-202 radar has eliminated the need to have multiple radars each with single function, and thus greatly improved the overall effectiveness of the HQ-2 air defense system. A target drone version is designated BA-6.

I am waiting for Chinese to make a local copy of Tunguska
Excellent for low altitude as well as ground to ground operations.
mobile small and deadly.

I agree the cost of the system is reported to be between 8 and 10 million USD.If pakistan could have 35+ of these systems it would certainly give PA a booster...

wiki says IA has 100,000 sam systems of different variations. I know wiki is not a reliable source of info, but could this be possibly true? or an inflated figure?



Also how effective are the MBDA Spada 2000 and 4000 systems? There isn't much on the web on their capabilities and hardly any videos. What were the PA thinking when going for those systems? and did they come with total R&D?
