PAKISTAN'S AIR DEFENCE SYSTEM BOUGHT FROM CHINA MALFUNCTIONS

  • 20/07/2021

Pakistan's air defence systems deployed on its eastern border is in danger due to technical failures. The system purchased from China for millions of USD is now plagued with several technical failures.

The Pakistan Army officials have raised a red flag over persistent problems experienced in Chinese made weapons systems but China has so far been slow to respond to the concerns of its ally.

Most of the systems are handicapped by defective surface-to-air night aiming and battleground signalling systems. Without these systems, the MANPADs are blind to attacks. 

These problems are causing a serious headache in the forward air defence positions of the Pakistan Army which comes on top of the persisting issue of defective Chinese-made LY80 surface-to-air missile systems, wrote Waduge.
Moreover, large numbers of other weapons including missiles, rocket launchers, which have been bought from China, have met with several technical issues.
According to the sources, many of such weapons are out of repair. Therefore, the air safety and security of Pakistan is in enormous danger.
