Any truck driver+Photoshop expert+Missile enthusiast here?

GUYS! 1M41

I readily understand if you don't trust me but I hope you trust him :
"The range of Shaheen-I is 700 kms, its diameter is 1 meter, its length is 11 meters, Shaheen-II’s range is 2500 kms, its diameter is 1.4 meters, its length is 17.5 meters and it weighs 25 tons."

Found here. Scroll two thirds down.

You don't need the tires either to verify that.
And have a good day, Tay.

No i dont trust you as i saw your pic in the local police station :D

On topic,yes te widely published dia of Shaheen 2 is exactly as it is mentioned in the link you provided,but that is a statement,although from the manufacturers themselve.
The purpose of this thread was to independantly varify that by using visual comparison based on some well known and varifiable facts such as a tyre size which is box standard.

White Is the test color. Any bsllistic missile was painted white when going through test phase.
Color scheme changes after deployment


I was not referring to colour...
Part below pak flag on whilte one has a jet vaine visible and 2 horizontal lines below and above that dot are the part some one has un officially termed as attitude correction system...
Below lower line is "s" written on 2nd stage...

This is not seen in shot from parade

Pic u posted also has that jet vain at same spot

No, I got that shaheenmisile buddy but 1M41 was my eye estimation from your pic.
1 cm over, less than one percent?

Tire size is subject to the same vagueness as height of people treated here earlier.
Depending on the strength of the tire's carcass and inflation, it can vary widely.

You'd be better off with the size of the headlamps or any fixed dimensions object.
Otherwise, you're attempting to compare 2 variables without a reference constant.

Good luck with your quest mate, Tay.

If i take 1.4 meters as Shaheen 2's Di and backward calculate the Rim size,not the tyre size then it comes at 32 Inch dia.
32 Inch dia rims are usually used in Tractors. Now if that is correct,then we can now look at other missile Dia,such as Babur and Nasr

Anyway if there are 182 Pixels in the width length of Missile and missile width is 1.4 meters (assuming missile Dia is the declared 1.4 meters)
Then how much will be the Dia of the wheels when there are 105 Pixels in the wheel dia?
One pixel will be 0.769
105 Pixels (wheel dia on pixels) will be 80.7 Cm or 31.7 Inches,but we know that a standard tractor wheen is either 32 Inches or 36 Inches in Dia and since this one is nearer to box standard dia of 32 inches,it can be safely assumed that the TEL dia is 32 inches.
And that is the Dia of All Pakistani TEL wheel rims now. So there you go,a standard measurement to compare dimensions of missiles in the pics?

Likewise Shaheen 2 warhead (The red cone) Dia is 164 Pixels @ 0.769 cm per pixel it is 126 Cm dia

When same technique applied to Nasr Missile. The missile Dia comes out as 39 Cm.
Warhead (Red cone) Dia comes out as 25 Cm. So it can be said that Pakistan's smallest nuke has a Dia of less than 25 CM? and that size of Nuke cannot be sub Kiloton,it has to be a few kilotons at least.

Similar technique when applied to a picture of Babur missile. The wheel Rim comes out as 93 Pixels. Now assuming that it is the box standard tractor rim used on Pakistani TELs,the 32 inch rim is 81.28 Cm.
So 1 pixel is 0.87 Cm
babur Missile in the same pic comes out as 62 pixels wide or about 54 Cm wide. Now there is a roughly 5% error margin so i will go with the generally accepted theory that babur is less wider than a Submarine's Torpedo tube which is 53.3 cm,so babur can be something like 52 Cm wide.
With using same technique. Abdali comes up as 55 Cm wide.

If u dont mind my asking; why this interest in diameter?
