People seem to love making fun of Russians these days, first its the Russian Navy sinking at the bottom of the sea and now its Russian BVR missiles, based on the Ethiopian war solely! The irony is that they biggest critisism of Russian weapons is comming from a member who hails from a country that is the biggest buyer of Russian weapons.

What? I thought everyone likes to poke fun at the Polish armed forces.

OK, I will accede that the one tested recently seems to have lost its mid-section fins.

However, the images still do not prove that the recent design of the Shaheen II is a copy of the M-18. Please post a clear picture of the M-18 so that we can compare.

And how do these blurry/small pictures show that the Shaheen-II is based on the M-18?

It’s interesting how you selectively cut and paste text Kussikap. In the same link which you posted to John Pike’s article, you didn’t bother pasting (probably deliberately) the conclusion to his article. I’ll paste that for you here.

The Shaheen-II would appear to represent the Chinese M-18, although it is questionable whether Pakistan has actually obtained these missiles from China. There is no present indication that China has transferred such missiles to Pakistan.

So I suppose you conclude from this that the Shaheen-II is based on the M-18?

Google,

Wrong again.

What that Jane’s article said was about the “Shaheen-II” model that Pakistan showed in 2000.

But the FAS is about the missile that was tested yesterday.

Actually, your article by Pike makes reference to the same data that the JMR article uses, namely the first appearance of the M-18 at the late 80s airshow. You have posted no evidence showing that the one tested yesterday, and the one shown in 2000, are different. From the article it would seem that they are largely the same, and are therefore not based on the M-18.
