For those who are thinking Pakistan is going to give up critical KAAN techs to China, I humbly urge you to consider the fact that, in international strategic defence cooperation that's not how things really works. (Also, There is a misconception that Pak has increasingly became a vessel state...

Tactical nukes.

So, the reason companies offer their products with various optional foreign chassis is because of logistics. Countries usually prefer chassis that are cost effective and with easily available off-the-shelf spare parts in their region. Or sometimes, that said chassis could be already in service...

According to manufacturer (NG), the current CEP value of PGK is less than 30 meters. (Probably around 20-25 meters)

That means, a single unit cost around 5 millions USD if we assumed contracts includes 2x systems (at least.)

Although @Heartbang already explained it, here are some detailed visual representations of MRSI against fixed targets. (Same tactic can be and is employed against advancing enemy formations with desirable effect as Ukraine war showed us countless times)

You are right. What @Yasar has presented of MKE guidance kit, is similar to NG's PGK. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M1156_Precision_Guidance_Kit However, MKE could still improve their guidance kit's CEP value to less than 30m like NG's PGK. On a side note, I just wanna say- Even with...

It isn’t. I am talking about hypothetical scenario where Iraq carries out similar drone strikes on Western capitals (like Ukraine on Moscow) after being invaded by US led qualition.

Of course, there is a difference. Perhaps my phrasing was misleading. And I apologise for that. However, my main point is, let's say.....if iraqi covert operation force did similar drone strikes on financial centers of London, New York after it has been invaded by Us led coalition (on false...

@Gary A European state actor seems to have legitimacy for certain kind of actions in wartime that otherwise would be considered as an act of terrorism if it were done by other non-western state/non-state actors. (Speically, let's say....it was against a Western Capital) Edit- I am not...

I hope there is no refugee involved here.

Two LO fighters engagement envelope against each other is likely to be around 40/50km. Due to advanced sensor IR (IRST+FLIR) and sensor fusion you are unlikely to get closer than that. So, technically this would still be BVR scenario. However there are IIR missiles with BVR capability. (Like MICA)

Refurbished?

Well, there is no risk free scenario in combat. But BVR missiles with 2 way data link is the choice of the future.

Missiles can only home on noise jamming, technically DRFM jammers with AESA antenna can be effective against A2A missiles. So, no. Jamming pods are not useless. However, BVR missiles with 2 way data link only activate their seeker at the very last moment. Which in practice, makes it very...

That would be approximately 48x mech battalions. second largest in the NATO.

My man! some logic only works in one way. You of all people should know that by now.

No doubt, Rafale is some of the best in its class. And I always thought it is the sexiest 4.5th gen fighter out there. But I will stick with my Typhoon Trench 4 preference for BAF MRCA. I just think it is better.

Thank you very much for such detailed answer. Initially, I was surprised because, usually a typical combined arms mech battalion consist of three companies (+their headquarters) and a battalion headquarter. (in total 44x combat vehicles) As we know, in a conventional organisational schemes...

That is a huge list for a battalion.
