"Today’s launch, whose impact point was at sea"

Question: Was Target stationary or moving as generally sea Target are not stationary.

Now I'm thinking why PN established Strategic Force Command NSFC as custodian of the country's nuclear second strike capability.

Finally....... A Good news to hear after finishing with my Boring Exam :/
Congrats Pakistan !!

"Impact on Sea"

Well that^^^ should sound tempting for IN, guess we just got yet another Carrier killer in our hands

 

[Pandora]

A shaheen 1 stuffed with a TN warhead can rapee any carrier as by the time that piece of metal move it will be too late. Same goes for already moving target no escape.

 

[Windjammer]

Still no pictures?

WHere is Windjammer? He always gets the pics!

@Windjammer

Pics kahan hain bhai?

Lol at frustrated Indians on TOI page.

Come on fellas. It is just a routine test.

@Areesh @nuclearpak

Guys, remember the launch sites are in an isolated area and in today's case I've been told at a fair distance, hence it takes a while for the images to be delivered to the ISPR......none the less i have been promised to receive them in an hour or so. !!

I think there is a need to put all the things in perspective as I think this all kicked off due to my post in the first page.

The launch was not at a target on the sea nor was it a carrier killer or anything, it was just a normal ballistic missile with a target made at the sea just as it would have been on land. It was made on the sea because of restriction issues on land.

Launches from the South of Pakistan are made into the sea while those from Attock or Jhelum go towards Balochistan.

Now why was this statement made bold and noticed? Because in a couple of launches before when the launch site was in SIndh, there was a discussion among members that the launch was towards sea. Me and @AhaseebA vouched for it and said that launches are conducted towards the sea. Some Indian members pointed out that Pakistan does not have the capability to track missile movement and hence cannot launch MRBM's into the sea. At that point, we had no proof so couldn't prove the point further and laid it to rest.

Now this statement comes which indirectly shows that Pakistan does indeed have capability to track MRBM's over sea and check the target point.

This has nothing to do with a carrier killer, or a Naval strategic command or naval missile or anything.
@Munir, I hope this clears up things.

Isolated area...hmmm...that rings a bell.

BTW Windy, images are transferred through computers, not through a tonga!!

Me too yara....been on the phone several times......just managed to get hold of a contact as all senior staff is at a conference.

But to get to the office from the site.....the cameraman will probably have to travel on a Tonga.

Nah...SPD's helicopters suffice for the job!

The code of secrecy....it's probably all the editing that takes time....i asked the guy, how about releasing a little more than just an image of the launch....reply was...."Shukar karo itni bi ijazat miltey hey" !!

 

[Rocky rock]

Congrates! but i am waiting for ICBM

Well no pic's no vid'z why ? :/

 

[saiyan0321]

Such tests are most welcome. With enhanced capabilities will only make our missile research more efficient and thus more deadly. If this test proves that we have tracking ability then its a good step in the right direction as on this base we can make our naval force deadly. Most probably why this test was done at sea.

I am looking forward to those pictures which we have windjammer to thank for.

it's probably all the editing that takes time

MAN. Our army is soo secretive even to their own personal. Atleast you should get to see some more of the image.

I was reading Hindosatni's commenting on their newspapers and social media. Boy they hate our guts !

 

[Yzd Khalifa]

India will have to behave 10 times probably ,they should be scared to death.

I have made up a little map,covering 900KMs being fired from Gwadar in a mobile launcher or an underground silo.

If it is meant to be,what you said its meant to be than it is a bad news for the Indian navy and its planned carriers...very bad news.

@Luftwaffe @AhaseebA @Munir @Yzd Khalifa @nuclearpak @Armstrong

@Aeronaut
Typo man sorry.

What do you expect....every time Pakistan tests....most of them have to buy a new "Dhoti".
