SİSTEM GENEL BAKIŞI

Pakistan operates the SPADA 2000 (Selenia Point And area Defense Alerting), an Italian medium-range SAM system developed by MBDA/Alenia Marconi. It uses the Aspide 2000 semi-active radar homing missile with a 25 km engagement range against aircraft and cruise missiles. The system is fully mobile with engagement radar, command post, and launcher vehicles on wheeled trucks. Pakistan procured SPADA 2000 in 2009 to fill a mid-tier air defence gap between short-range systems (RBS-70, FM-90) and the long-range HQ-9/P. The system complements Crotale NG for area defence of military installations.

Range and payload figures here are impressive but the basing requirements limit operational flexibility considerably.
