New Google Earth images of construction activity in the south west corner of Khushab. Any ideas as to what it may be? Guessing either prototype breeder reactor or land based prototype PWR for naval propulsion.

No indigenous nuclear sub/slbm's before 2030

No, a larger 650 mm dia tube could carry a 1500 KM range cruise missile, perhaps more if the internal is nearer 11 m in length. . Sure naval planners have taken this into account.

it's a testbed for new technologies, some of which will be incorporated in the subs Pakistan is buying. Obviously don't expect VLS etc...

No I meant in addition to the six 533 mm tubes. Experimental Qing class (of which Pakistan variant is based) was fitted with 1 650 mm torpedo tube for new generation of armaments. We'll wait and see.

Hopefully not strap-on boosters. I'm guessing lengthened first stage, two shorter second and third stages (same dia as 1st) and an upper liquid? Maybe new propellant. Thought the S20 will have 4 650mm torpedo tubes.

Is the MIRVed system based on the Shaheen-3 @TheDeterrent? Or a larger Dia missile/SLV like China's Kuaizhou?

This is simply wrong. If you look at the development of South Korea's Hyunmoo series of cruise missiles, Hyunmoo-3A - 500 km Hyunmoo-3B - 1,000 km Hyunmoo-3C - 1,500 km They're not so different to to the Babur series. I would expect the new S20 submarines to be equipped with the Babur 3 MK 2...

America, Japan and China are racing to be the first nation to make nuclearenergy completely renewable. The hurdle is making it economic to extract uranium from seawater, because the amount of uranium in seawater is truly inexhaustible. And it seems America is in the lead. New technological...

No, actually the post is about small power reactors for electricity/desalination. But would also serve as leverage geo-politically for a fair nuclear deal. I am convinced India would not have been granted their nuclear deal if they hadn't embarked on a indigenous power reactor program based on...

Pakistan, China Finalize 8-Sub Construction Plan ISLAMABAD — Pakistan has finalized its long-negotiated submarine deal with China, with four to be built in China and four in Pakistan. Analysts believe the submarines will go a long way toward maintaining a credible conventional deterrent against...

Slightly extended first stage. Interestingly the 'Shaheen II' (first announced as Shaheen III) tested on Nov 14th 2014 had an increased first stage length. http://isssp.in/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Shaheen-II-Nov_13_2014_Launch_Analysis.pdf Don't see an increase in diameter. The stated...
