Pakistan Air Force is going to install Turkish air-to-air missiles in its F-16 fighter planes. The name of this missile is Bojodoan. Pakistan will include this new missile in place of the old AIM-9 Sidewinder in its fighter planes. It has a high-resolution infrared seeker (IIR) head.
Not only this, both the countries have also decided to develop a new air-to-air missile beyond visual range. This new missile will be made by combining Turkey's GOKDOĞAN and Pakistan's FAAZ-2 BVRAAM missile. So that India's air-to-air Astra missile can be countered.
The Bozodoan missile has a range of 25 kilometers. Its speed is 3578 km per hour. This missile is very effective during air war. Due to IIR technology, this missile can also shoot down cruise missiles. The missile that Pakistan is removing i.e. AIM-9 Sidewinder has a range of 35.3 km. It attacks the enemy at a speed of 2980 km per hour.
Türkiye's GOKDOĞAN missile
Now let's talk about the new missile which Turkey and Pakistan are preparing to develop together. Whereas Turkey's Gokdogan missile has a range of 65 to 100 kilometers. There are many types of it. It works on fire and forget technique. Its speed is about 4770 km per hour. Turkey had manufactured this missile to replace American missiles.
Pakistan's FAAZ-2 missile
Pakistan's FAAZ-2 missile has a range of about 180 km and flies at a speed of 4174 km per hour. It is an active RF and IIR leaker missile. It can target aircraft, drones and helicopters. Now by combining the technology of these two the new missile will become even more powerful.
Will India's ASTRA be above these two?
There are three types of Astra missiles. The former is being used. The remaining two are in the testing stage. The range of MK-1 missile is 80 to 110 km. The speed is approximately 4800 km per hour. The range of the second variant i.e. MK-2 will be 160 kilometers and the range of the third variant i.e. MK-3 will be 350 kilometers. That is, at present the missile MK-1 is a little behind in terms of range, but the speed is more than the missiles of Turkey and Pakistan. That means it delivers a fatal attack in a short time.
