During this period of time, the strategic partners of the mainland and Pakistan are getting better and better, Pakistan has successively purchased a variety of equipment from the mainland, including the Dragon Block3 fighter, J-10C, 054AP frigate, S-20P submarine, And Hongqi air defense missiles, it can be said that Pakistan's current navy, land and air force have the mainland's figure, which not only represents the deepening of military cooperation between the mainland and Pakistan, but also represents the continuous growth of Pakistan's military strength.
And recently there is another news that pakistan will buy a piece of equipment from the mainland again, it is reported that this equipment is a CM-501GA anti-ship missile, and the pakistani railway that obtained this missile is likely to equip it on its own Z-9 carrier-based helicopter, and the 054P frigate delivered to Pakistan at the end of last year will be equipped with this helicopter, so after the 054AP frigate of Pakistan railway is equipped with a straight-9 carrier-based helicopter and CM-501GA anti-ship missile, Attack abilities will be greatly enhanced.
India, who learned of this news, naturally became restless, because India is now most proud of its navy, as one of the few countries in the world with aircraft carriers, and is about to upgrade to a two-carrier strike group, the navy has always been India's strategic advantage, and after obtaining this kind of equipment provided by the mainland, India's long-term strategic advantage will no longer exist, so that India's strength is at the same level when facing Pakistan.
According to relevant information, the CM-501GA anti-ship missile is a derivative export version of the CM-501 multi-role tactical missile, the overall weight of the CM-501 multi-role tactical missile has reached 150 kg, the warhead weight has reached 40 kg, and the range is 70 km; and the performance of the CM-501GA anti-ship missile for export is naturally weakened a little, after all, we can not sell the best weapons to others, the overall weight of the CM-501GA anti-ship missile is 100 kg With a warhead weight of 20 kg and a range of 40 km, this missile has the ability to strike the sea on the ground and is highly accurate, and can accurately hit targets within 1 meter with a hit rate of 90%.
Because this missile adopts a combination of satellite, infrared, and television guidance methods, it is not only light in weight, small in size, and has strong maneuverability, which can be installed on various combat vehicles on land, as well as on unmanned aerial vehicles or some small and medium-sized aircraft.
It is no wonder that India is uneasy about this, because the 054AP frigate delivered to Pakistan railways not long ago is a multi-functional warship, not only equipped with advanced long-range anti-ship missiles and regional air defense missiles, anti-submarine, anti-ship, air defense capabilities are excellent; while the Z-9 carrier-based helicopter adopts a double-engine and retractable front three-point wheeled landing gear layout, which is not only light in weight, but also very reliable in safety, can be skidded and landed, and can detect a large area of the sea in a short period of time. And the forward-looking infrared system is also installed on it, and the anti-submarine ability and anti-ship capability at night have also been increased, and the load capacity that has been criticized for being small will no longer be a problem after the CM-501GA anti-ship missile is equipped, and the small weight of this missile can be carried to the straight-9, thus making the combat effectiveness of the straight-9 to a higher level.
And this is only a frigate configuration, if you wait until the 4 054AP frigates are all delivered to Pakistan, then Pakistan's naval strength will rise to a new level, even in the ocean operations and India is still not comparable, but in the India-Pakistan demarcation line at the coastal area can still compete with India, and India in the future face Pakistan also has to reconsider its own operational strategy.
In fact, what makes India so nervous is not only the delivery of this missile, through the data show that pakistan has purchased equipment during this period of time are very targeted, the Dragon Block3, J-10C against India's Rafale, Hongqi air defense missiles against India's S-400, and now frigates + shipboard helicopters + anti-ship missiles are used for India's surface ships, especially two aircraft carriers, forming a unique "Chinese combat system"; for Pakistan's approach, The Indian side also exploded, accusing the mainland of "disrupting the regional balance" and losing India's previous advantages in facing Pakistan.
