Mirko - great posts.. nice pictures.

From the shape in particular....these dont appear to have much of tactical capability...as compard to prithvi in particular.....there are certainly more 'fins' in prithvi. Agni's first stage and the warhead has 'fins'...which give it some critical manuvering towards the terminal and initial phases.
Wonder how effective will they be in dodging interceptor missiles..like arrow-2, akash. Even the test that those guys did in isreal for arrow-2 to id the warhead and head towards it.....I think it will be easy targets for ABMs.

I may be wrong....but certainly high G turns have to be aided with these 'fins'

Is there really a need to bring Indian missiles into the discussion? :rolleyes:

Baktar Shikan ATGM
DESCRIPTION
This missile consists of four parts. The encased missile consists of the main missile firmly locked inside a special launch tube fitted with devices and harness for initial launch of the missile and its contained connection with the Guidance System. The IR Goniometer apart from serving as day sight, this equipment receive and modulates IR signals from missile and feeds resulting deviation signals to the Guidance Unit. The Guidance Unit provides steering commands to the missile corresponding to deviation signals received from Goniometer and missile. The Tripod Assembly equipped with traversing and elevating mechanism, adjustable at three firing positions, provides a stable support to the weapons systems.
OBJECTIVES
The “Baktar Shikan” is a second-generation anti-tank missile weapon system, which uses the principle of optical aiming, IR tracking and automatically generated remote controlled and wire transmitted guidance signals. With its long range, it has a greater penetration power and has a powerful anti-jamming capability. It is easy to operate and is capable of destroying all known tank targets at ranges up to 3000 meters with more than 90% hit and penetration probability. Aiming at the target through 12 magnification sight of Goniometer, all that firer has to do is to press the firing trigger and keep the cross hairs of the sight on the target. The rest is done by the systems itself, which automatically guides the missile to fly along the line of sight till it hits the target and a powerful warhead enables its destruction.

PAF adds new bombs to its arsenal
By Arshad Sharif
ISLAMABAD, Dec 17: Pakistan Air Force has integrated the H-4 out-of-sight target bombs in its arsenal of fighter aircraft, official sources said. The incorporation of H-4 bombs have added to the capability of the PAF to hit out-of-sight targets from a distance of up to 120 kilometres to evade enemy radars during air strikes. A lighter version of the bomb, H-2 model, can hit the out-of-sight targets from a range of up to 60 kilometres.
"It is a step towards adding the Beyond Visual Range (BVR) missiles to our arsenal for defensive purposes and to address the strategic imbalance in the region," sources said.
The indigenously produced H-4 bombs is an achievement of the National Engineering and Scientific Commission (NESCOM), which works in close collaboration with Pakistan Missile Organizationand the Air Weapons Complex.
"Three successful tests of H-4, with the latest conducted this year, produced satisfactory results leading to addition of arsenal in the fighter jets," the sources said.
The H-4 bombs have been made through indigenous efforts by modifying the technological design of South African T-Darter BVR missiles. Till the induction of JF-17 Thunder in 2006, with a provision for BVRs, the H-2 and H-4 bombs could be carried by Mirage fighter jets. The H-4 infrared device is said to be comparable to that of the AA11, AA12 and Python 4 in the Indian arsenal.
Moreover, the sources said, fighter aircraft in PAF's arsenal have the "provision" to be fitted with precision-guided munitions and BVR missiles. When asked about advantages of BVR in Indian arsenal, PAF spokesperson Air Commodore Sarfaraz said: "We are aggressively trying to utilize whatever equipment we have to its optimum operational limits through professional training and by pursuing high standards of maintenance."
Mr Sarfaraz said: "We are aware of our technological needs and are vigorously trying to meet those requirements either through procurements or indigenous developments."
The European and the US suppliers were currently not willing to share the technology with Pakistan. However, contacts were being established with China, defence sources said, adding that JF-17 Thunder (to be inducted in 2006), F-16s and the Mirage aircraft in Pakistan's fleet all had the provision to be fitted with BVRs once the technology and the missiles would be acquired.

JANE'S DEFENCE WEEKLY - JANUARY 07, 2004
Pakistan conducts second test firing of H-4 missile
ROBERT HEWSON Editor, Jane's Air-Launched Weapons
London
Pakistan is believed to have successfully completed a second test firing of its clandestine H-4 missile system, according to December regional media reports.
Reports of a first test emerged in April 2003, stating that the missile was fired from a Mirage III fighter aircraft and successfully destroyed a target drone.
In the April reports, the H-4 was described as an active-radar air-to-air missile (AAM) and most observers saw it as no coincidence that reports of Pakistan's programme emerged immediately following the first test of India's Astra AAM.
The latest reports describe the H-4 as an air-to-surface weapon and refer to two variants, H-4 and H-2, with a stand-off range of 120km and 60km respectively.
While it is not possible to confirm all details of the H-4 programme, Pakistan is long thought to have fielded a standoff precision-guided weapon system akin to the Raptor series of powered glide bombs developed in South Africa. Sources in Pakistan also suggest a South African connection to other Pakistan Air Force weapon programmes.
The Raptor family was developed by Denel (Kentron) under the codenames H-1, H-2 and H-3 from the late 1970s onwards. It is known that Denel has undertaken integration studies for the Raptor with the F-16 and Mirage aircraft. Pakistan's F-16s have a primary air defence tasking, while its upgraded Mirage IIIs are allocated a precision-guided munition delivery role.
Pakistan Air Force Chief of Staff ACM Kaleem Saadat said in October 2003 that a beyond-visual-range air-to-air missile (BVRAAM) capability was a near-term priority for the air force (JDW 8 October 2003). He said discussions were under way with China for the development of the SD-10 BVRAAM

to anyone but the most rabid lover of pakdef, the Bakhtar Shikan is a license made Red Arrow ATGM.
this has been well known for around a decade now.
same for the Anza-xxx. ToT from PRC.

Baktar Shikan is a copy of the Red Arrow ATGM system. There are no licences involved.
Same for the Anza-xx. Anza has even proved itself in battle by downing a Mig-21 during the Kargil conflict.

How effective are the Pakistani missiles relative to the indian ones.Do they form a credible threat against the indians or in real combat the P-stanis will depend on the mirages :confused:
