Whatever independentsl.com reveal in this forum is not considered secret or classified. The information will soon be made available to the general public.
The SLAF will be receiving the following items in the next 3-4 months:
1.-- 1 x FT-7PG fighter from Pakistan.
2.-- 1 x ATLIS II Laser/Electro-Optical Targeting Pod from Pakistan.
3.-- 2 x VECTOR MkII UAV`s from Pakistan.
4.-- 2 x YCL-6 2D Low Altitude Surveillance Radars from China.
5.-- 1 x CLC-3 Highly Mobile Low Altitude Air Defence Radar from China.
6.-- Undisclosed number of S-8D FAE 80mm Rockets from Pakistan.
7.-- Undisclosed number of AT-6A Shtrum-9210 FAE Anti-Tank Missiles from Pakistan.
(1)
The FT-7PG fighter offered by Pakistan will most likely be used either as a precision strike platform or as a high speed low-level reconnaissance platform. This capability is offered through the ATLIS II Laser/Electro-Optical Targeting Pod.
(2)
The SEARCHER Mk1 with the SLAF will be getting an upgrade to its MOSP (Multi-mission Optronic Stabilized Payload). The current CCD and FLIR capability will be augmented by a laser ranging/pointing/designating capability. This capability is being added to the SEARCHER so that the UAV can laser designate targets for SLAF aircraft carrying LGB`s.
(3)
The 3 radars from China will be used in the North and East of Sri Lanka to give the Sri Lankan defence establishment a complete means of tracking anything that gets airborne in these areas from a height of 10-10000m at ranges from 3-150km.
(4)
The S-8D and AT-6A Shtrum-9210 both have fuel-air explosive warheads and will be used on Mi-24V and 35P HIND helicopters. This capability will be mainly used in the Northern theatre if the conflict spreads to that region.
(5)
SLAF pilots - mainly Mi-24 and MiG-27 aircrew have been receiving training for the last year to fly/navigate and fight at Night. This capability will soon be coming into play.
(6)
The VECTOR MkII is a low cost Pakistani UAV with a range of about 80km. The aircraft has a loiter time of about 4 hrs and carries a MOSP with a CCD/FLIR camera. |

What another consignment from Pakistan?!
Think it would be better for all the TAX PAYERS to try it in Pakistan to see if it works!
It could be DUDS ! |
