AVIATION DESIGN & INNOVATION CENTER ADIC AS PART OF NASTP REVEALS INDIGENOUS MALE UAV

National Aerospace Science and Technology Park (NASTP)
is an integral project of Aviation City Pakistan and will provide eco- system of essential elements required to nurture design, research, development and innovation in the aviation, space, IT and cyber domains.

NASTP is a pioneer organisation in Pakistan that is approved by the Government of Pakistan as ‘a project of strategic national importance’ led by the Pakistan Air Force in creating opportunities for joint work between industry, academia and the government, turning it into a technology ecosystem in the country. This project has been envisaged to have comprehensive Design, Development & Innovation Eco-System.

2017 - 18 :

From the onset, PAC’s AvDI has been responsible for three marquee aviation programs under Project Azm:

The 5th-generation fighter
A MALE UAV and
Munitions development.

ACM Aman stated that the design work of the MALE UAV is in its “final stages”, suggesting that the UAV is a relatively near-term factor.

----------------------------------------------------------

Pakistan NESCOM&TurkiyeTAI signed contract in 2021 to jointly manufacture Anka UAV. Anka's payload 350kg MTOW 1700kg.

also funny you should upload the pic of the lahore district police station captured by the Indian Army. The Indian army regiment that took it retreated from that area after Pakistan launched its counter attack to retake it.

capturing photos at Burki police station which is hardly 7 kilometer from IB. in a war like situation with advances such distance is not hard to achieve.

whereas Lahore first garrison which is still far outside Lahore is at 12 km distance from Burki. claim reaching Lahore?

PAKISTAN'S UAV FLEET IS A "EVOLVING NEW HEADACHE" FOR ITS ARCH RIVAL

Akinci Combat UAV has been inducted in No 65 Multirole "Knights" Squadron of Pakistan Air Force. With its extraordinary standoff strike, air combat and EW capabilities, PAF command will have to plan really smart to ripe its full benefits while integrating it in real operations!

The UAV will be outfitted with indigenously developed systems, including AESA radar, a SAR/GMTI radar, a wide-area surveillance system, an EWS (electronic warfare) system, an electronic and signal intelligence suite, and beyond-line-of-sight satellite communications systems, the sum of which makes the Akinci one of the best platforms available in the market.

The drone will carry a range of missiles developed by Turkey’s Roketsan. The powerful Akinci UAV is expected to be equipped with many state-of-art weapons, including Bozdoğan and Gökdoğan missiles. The Akinci can reportedly even fire Turkish-built Roketsan SOM missiles that can hit targets up to 240 km away.

@NG Missile Vessels reminds me of the typical indian (mostly Hindu): Absolutely defeatist, internally humiliated, & always trying to cope with delusions & irrelevant p!ssing contests to get some semblance of self-respect

Hindus constantly live in the agony of the fact that Muslims conquered Hindu kingdoms & their entire civilization, destroyed their culture, and TOTALLY ERASED & WIPED OUT Indic Dharma from Afghanistan, Pakistan, sacred Vedic lands of Sindhu, Indonesia, Malaysia, Bangladesh, parts of Central Asia and so on. These losers of history and their cowardly ancestors could not do anything to stop this grand civilizational conquest by superior Muslims. Even worse, the most humiliating part is the fact that the conquest was one way only: Muslims conquering Hindus & their lands for almost 800-1000 years, with zero retribution. Europeans & Muslims fought each other for centuries and conquered each other lands. However, between Muslims and inferior Hindus, the conquest only happened one way: Muslims conquering Hindus and their lands. Period. There is not a SINGLE Muslim majority land, which was previously non-Hindu/non-dharmic, that Hindus were able to conquer in over 1000 years.

In the absence of Islam, the Dharmic faith category today would have been the largest religion on the planet and most likely would have also spread to Central Asia and even beyond. But Islam absolutely demolished Dharma and reduced it into a pathetic, powerless, & irrelevant clump of pagan cults in one tiny area of Southern Asia

If all of THAT was not enough, Muslims further broke apart the leftover & broken pieces of the last remaining Hindu homeland (India). Just 16% Muslims took away 25% of the most resourceful and strategic Indian landmass in 1947 and established their Islamic state(s). Meanwhile, the remaining India was made secular with constitutional restrictions on Hindu traditions & destruction of Hindu law (manusmriti, et all) while simultaneously protecting Muslim laws. Even more humiliating for Hindus, Muslims in leftover India grew demographically much faster, growing from ~8% in 1947 to 15%+ by 2022. Islamic holidays are mandated as NATIONAL holidays throughout India. Azaan is publically broadcasted 5x a day across the country and there are tens of thousands of Madrassas spread throughout the length and breadth of the Indian state. Hindu girls get f*cked by Muslims and Hindus cry love Jihad, Muslims get a disproportional number of all educational scholarships, and over the decades, Muslims have increasingly caught up with Hindus in income & wealth as well.
Indians are so defeatist that they dare not even bring the strategic & demographic outlook of South & Central Asia....which got massively de-Hinduized and subsequently Islamized post-1947—primarily due to Pakistani efforts and state actions. All they do is constantly cope while the land gradually slips right under their feet

THE F-16 MODERNIZATION DETAILS
----------------------------------------------------

https://twitter.com/x/status/1660109844735754240

Ismail Demir: "Our F-16 OZGUR's are currently the most advanced F-16's operated by the Turkish Air Force , despite them being produced originally between 1987 to 1990"

----------------------------------------------------


“We delivered our first F-16s ‘freed’ by our defense industry with domestic and national systems,” Demir tweeted, referring to the project called Özgür, or “Free” in English. “

From now on, our F-16s will continue to serve our forces with much more advanced capabilities and in a modernized manner.”

The structural improvement project includes increasing the lifespan of the F-16 Block-30 aircraft from 8,000 hours to 12,000 hours, read a statement issued by the SSB.

“In addition, avionic capabilities developed with national and domestic means are integrated into our aircraft,” the statement said.

Domestic ammunition and missiles will be directly integrated into the F16s thanks to the “national mission computers” installed into the aircraft, it added.

The project will also be applied to the Block-40 and Block-50 aircraft, thus enabling the relevant inventory to be used effectively till the 2040s, according to the SSB.

Hi
as we all discuss about Turkish F16 upgrades but no one
ready to write or say anything about how & when Pakistan
can upgrade its F16 coz without USA PAF can’t get anything on F16s not even from Turkey
yes I agreed Turkey can upgrade their F16s as they making things in house beside Turkey is a NATO member and there must be a clause in their purchase of upgrading with in house gadgets
rest assured until uncle SAM give a go ahead PAF can not
be able to do anything
thank you

The Source codes required from OEM is a requirement for all Users as standard.
Turkiey worked around the problem by completely replacing the Mission Computers first [AGB-231 Avionics Mission Computer]
Thanks

-------------------------------------------------------------

Refrence :

"When a country e.g. like the US exports a fighter jet its is through the mission computer that it controls the capabilities of the aircraft. Its sourcecodes are almost never released & without them you cannot upgrade your aircraft.Turkiye has replaced the American mission computers used in its F-16 Block 30's thereby enabling it to integrate subsystems developed locally."
