South Asia India scrambles as Bangladesh deploys TB2 drones, challenging regional hegemony

[Bilal9]

Man you'll never fight India like Pakistan will never fight them either.

And these sort of UCAV drones toting missiles have largely disappeared from Ukraine long ago due to severe losses.

Indian air defenses on its western borders are strong and these drones can only have limited success at best. I'm not sure what the deployment of SAM defenses is like on India's eastern borders, but recently India has significantly upgraded its SAM forces including fielding several locally developed systems.

Pakistan has a hundred Chinese and Turkish drones but has hardly ever used them against the talibunnies. Nobody knows the reason, but we are fairly confident that to use these assets properly you need excellent ISR preferably real time data/ intelligence gleaned from space based assets, which Pakistan has no access to.

You are correct - without access to timely ISR information, aiming drones does not mean much.

I have some information that some Chinese ISR access may be available in Bangladesh, including use of BEIDOU satellites (analog to Russian GLONASS) for Chinese armament platforms. Whether that information can be integrated with Bairaktar or Aksungur platforms is an open question mark.

The restricted Beidou military service (3rd Generation) has a location accuracy of 10 centimeters, can be used for communication, and will supply information about the system status to the user. To date, the military service has been granted only to the People’s Liberation Army and to the Military of Pakistan.

India has 31 squadron currently means 558 fighter aircrafts out of which 2374 crashed. When you have Chinese education in CCP reeducation camp, you believe so many things. This make them ideal candidate for Piza delivery boys and waiters.

Can we stop with the off topic posts please?

What is this dire need for one-upmanship and that too with off topic comments ??

Indian diaspora is most educated and most rich wherever they are. People say that we don't need to claim that.



Even pakistanis say that.

Indian diaspora in the US is disproportionately and overwhelmingly highly-educated IIT and IIM types who make a lot more money as healthcare, tech and IT professionals. Different class, different incomes.

Comparisons with other ethnicities and nationalities in the US is like comparing apples and oranges.

Now can we stop with the off topic posts ? Or will I start deleting posts again?

Nonsense. The whole point of these UAVs is reconnaissance. It's the whole reason Turkey built them. Strike capability is secondary and it was added later.

Earlier on TAI ANKA and Heron UAVs would find where the terrorists are and we'd hit them with artillery.

How true do you think this is?
