Pakistan test fires 600 km range RAAD-2 ALCM

ISPR is master at fooling its own people. If you see the low level flight, the same set of bushes appears again and again. which means that it failed to level out and sustain level flight. Plus the new version has different tail compared to the older 400km range RAAD. This is a fake video.

Has Pakistan got any world class engineering/scientific educational institutions like iisc/iit etc.

Any r&d centre and related infrastructure which support world class patent and research in advance domain of artificial intelligence ,CFD , material science ,electronics etc.

sometimes breakthrough in civilian domain opens up new avenues for military
While in other cases it's the reverse.


So what is the Pakistani industrial capabilities and r&d strength in civilian domain

I am genuinely interested

I am very sure that the missile ditched way before that target and the pic of target being hit is probably created by using a ATGM or shoulder fired rocket. That explains the richochet of the warhead.

The missile lost altitude in middle of flight but you spin it as losing altitude intentionally, but it keeps falling even after that and that 1.5 second clip is played on loop making an impression that missile is actually moving forward at low altitude and even in those 1.5 second it's falling if you look carefully.

Is that the reason why it fall on ground and warhead bounced like a tennis ball and how heavy was that warhead btw 100gm? 125gm? Any heavier than that it would not be flying like a tennis ball.

But as you already have 100gm nuclear bum that's enough I suppose.

Great observation. Why was that loop needed?? If it was working fine?

True, when you are following the missile and it's working fine, why will you play 1.5sec video on loop.

That video is of older variant I guess, the newer variant impact looks funny. Sutli bomb has more explosives than that supposed warhead jumping like tennis ball.

I don't doubt much that they didn't succeed, they may have one or two technology demonstrator that may give you something to cheer up but from what they have released they didn't look threatening at all, so good luck.

Also a valid point is raised above without institutions to back up the research on these projects, funding and expertise how can you achieve anything durable? Even IQ and Scientific temperament or their will to improve doesn't favor Pakistanis much to give them benefit of doubt, it's not like they are Iranis or Israelis that know a thing or two, on contrary they are quite demotivated and discouraged due to various factors.

Have you guys considered joining the DRDO? They could highly benefit from you, your analysis is remarkable.

no need to show old repackaged footage to DRDO they have already developed things like ASAT AND MIRV ages ago , while your entire nations cannot put a mouse into orbit little baki.

Still butthurt about CGI expose ?
Anyways in that Raad 2 video , why a video in a loop in that terrain hugging part? U can make it out cz of ground bushes repeating

Let then develop a 50cc IC engine first. Just painting chinese maal green is no innovation

MIRV? when where?

You have to give a reason as to why the same bushes keep appearing in that video.

Oh...are you stuck on the video?
It wasn't official video. I compiled it myself.
There was a 3-4 frame (not even seconds) leftover footage of the Raad-1 flying really low from an ISPR video...which they forgot to edit out or edited but a few frames were left.
I noticed and looped it in my compilation to show how low the missile flies.
On a side note I haven't seen any video of Brahmos flying low.
Post one.

I request you to post the real and actual unedited video. Please do us a favour. We are extremely scared now and shitting bricks on Pakkistan.
 
Ok Indian forum and I am about to discuss a Pakistani missile... But hey ,a defence tech forum with people who have interest in the same.
I noticed something in the mock-up of RAAD-2 ALCM which was paraded on Pakistan resolution day March the 23rd 2017 .
The air intake was different from RAAD-1 .

The Raad-2 air intake seems to already have an aerodynamic cover on it.
The Raad-1 had a drop down air intake which was deployed after launch.

Among ALCM missile category a similar arrangement can be found on SCALP / STORM SHADOW.
It too has a pre-fitted air intake cover and the air intake is rigid .
The cover blows away before launch.

Indian Nirbhay has similar arrangement. The air intake just has a cover which blows away after launch, inline Babur Cruise missile which has a folded air intake which drops down after launch.

Such arrangement creates more room for fuel , hence more range compared to RAAD-1 which lost precious fuel capacity due to folding air intake.

However the main conundrum is in the above picture.
The Raad-2 as appeared in the test video is nothing like the Mock-up paraded in 2017.
The real version seems to have "X shaped" rear wings instead of the straight type shown in the mock-up and also used in Raad-1.

Likewise the air intake seems to be longer and streamlined.

Same can be noticed in the above.
Both missiles look very different specially in the rear section..

Your thoughts please.
