Exploded above the surface at specific height...... Tell much being smart weapon that we have been hearing a lot from rival & unlimited boasting stories that how it works. Seems to be above comparison with the weapon India has at the moment.

Bhaiya ji,
We actually produce guidance kits for bombs aswell as a few stand off weapons like Takbir,H series etc.

Ok...it is GIDS REK ....This is 2 year old video and size of explosion is comparable..
May be a better version of REK.

At the risk of being the Pakistani Raj47, here's an "enhanced" picture of the translucent censoring black box. It certainly has wings and a tail. Can't tell much else though.

Baidu navigation is standard of pakistan and china.

Slowly pakistan armed forces are leaving american systems which use GPS.

Someone who was involved with the integration of the REK on the JF17 says this is a new product.

Its a glide bomb of some type....

I'm not sure. I don't think it's a glide weapon. It is powered based on the wording used to describe it and it being called a whole new product. We barely see the launch and only see it hitting the target. You wouldn't see a giant rocket flame in those phases of flight anyway.

too happy for this news

It's classified stuff. Have seen it though .

Its no testing, it's messaging. If our entry level SOWs Did what they did on 27th, this is a preview of what will follow if need arise.

Wasn't this displayed in IDEAS 2018 by QUWA I might be wrong

Yup! I recorded the video myself.

I was informed 3 weeks ago about a "new product" by AWC. This is probably it.

Also the same source revealed the first testing pictures of the Pakistani REK so I do not think this is the REK.

@JamD Denel said it tested a 'medium-range, low-cost munition' for a client in 2016/2017. I don't think Pakistan would need to send out testing work now thanks to upgrades made to the Somniani WTR, but back then, maybe...

A medium range, low-cost guided weapon flight test conducted for a client in early 2017 was successful, with the weapons released hitting the target within set specifications and the client expressing satisfaction with the weapon’s performance.​

It can't be REK since its integration to the JF-17 was made public knowledge, so this is a different weapon. But the blur still makes it seem like a glide weapon of some kind, though one they obviously can't disclose. Perhaps it's the H-2/H-4 being tested from the JF-17? Notice the terminal-stage jerk by the black box, an EO/TV controller?

What the heck is APF?

 

[Dazzler]

The descend, trajectory, flight profile, all indicate that it is REK on an Mk-82, as Bilal Khan mentioned.
