Pakistan tests air-to-air missile :)
From Our Correspondent
ISLAMABAD — Pakistan successfully test-fired an indigenously manufactured, air to air, anti-aircraft missile on Monday.
According to the credible sources, the missile, fired from a fighter jet, successfully targeted a flying object. This H-4 missile is made by a subsidiary organisation of NESCOM and it is the most advanced version of H missiles.
According to the sources the missile was fired on its target from a Mirage plane over the Arabian Sea. One of the salient feature of the H-4 missile is that it can hit even the out of sight target. The successful experiment of the air to air missile will go a long way in countering the enemy’s air supremacy. ;)

H-4 is the Pakistani name for South African T-Darter BVR missile. Its range is 100 kms (some say 50 kms). It was launched from South African "Cheetah" Fighters (upgraded mirage) and It will be carried by Pakistani Fc-1s and ROSE upgraded mirages.

This is what I heard on the other forums.

Maybe we will be importimg these coz these missiles will serve for a short period. After 2005, Sd-10 will be carried by Fc-1s. Most of the people on other forums claim that Air Weapons Complex is making these missiles for ROSE upgraded mirages..... but its still unconfirmed.

Oh come on,

AA-11 is a short range missile, and we are discussing BVR missiles. AA-12 might have longer range then this BVR missile.

Both the TDarter & A-Darter(also known as the V-3c Kukri) will be license mfg in Pakistan. :dance3 :pak The Kukri is an infrared homing missile whose performance is anologous( according to some experts slightly better than) to that of the A-A11 & Python4. :sniper
