Breaking News : PN conducts missile firing

[PakGuns]

NO reason to be so excited guys. It was a normal AShM test from a missile boat. Not something people here were eager to claim. I wonder why are we so speculative that it get to the level of being stupid!
The main goal of these tests was to verify a new tactical aspect. Tracking and targeting.

Relax!

We had recently inducted c-602 carrier killers? Maybe testing those?

People, missiles firings are not always missile tests only. Missile tests are done before induction. strategies are developed and tested after induction...

@Windjammer @Arsalan Look at the PN/PAF notification on sea / airspace closure and you should have a pretty good idea of what happened.

If you have understood it, then please share it here with us.

Its an subsonic antiship missile, with a 300kg warhead. COnsidering what WW2 era carriers took in before they sank, you need a whole lot more than 1 missile to make this a 'carrier killer'.

100% true and agreed with. There are two main reason for keeping things shrouded in mystery! One, the mentality to hide any hiccups or failures that are part of any development process (within an acceptable range that is). Secondly, and more importantly, it seems like they are still living in the cold war era. Where the enemies spent heavily in keeping their tech and weapon systems secret. I am not sayings that they should start publishing the details on websites but a proper understanding of your capabilities if what will prevent your enemy from going to war and frankly speaking, the only way to win a war these days is by not starting one in the first place. Once it starts it will get ugly!! So i totally disagree with that policy of keeping everything under wraps!!! We should be a little bit more vocal about out capabilities and let others know what we are actually able to do. Do not let them fool themselves into attacking us thinking that, hey, this is just a 6-10 ship navy lets sink them as once they attack none of our surprise packages will be able to STOP the war. Once it starts it will be out of control pretty soon. What we need to do is prevent it from happening by making them undrstand that this 6-10 ship naval force do have the capability to inflict considerable damage so they do not get involved in any misadventure.

Surely the technical details and sensitive data CANNOT be shared but there is no harm in sharing a bit of information about what we can really do!!

@Bratva @Arsalan

I happen to read art of war and learned few techniques which Sun Tzu used to defeat a much larger enemy. One of his potent techniques was surprise attacks. When you are revealed before enemy, your enemy knows where your strengths and weaknesses are and knowingly, acts against your weaknesses and avoids strengths.

Regarding Pakistan's approach of staying quiet about its strengths, this is indeed a good way to keep your enemy anxious, unsure and reluctant from acting. On scale, India has more of everything that Pakistan has, more in numbers and many a times, better in quality. India can match Pakistan's muscle with better counter muscle and Pakistan's potential with better counter potential. In this context, element of surprise, hidden potentials and undisclosed strengths matter even more.

I would categories Pakistan's military strength into deterrence and potentials. Pakistan should announce deterrence and celebrate them in public but when it comes to potentials, they are best when they are undisclosed.

Sir plz consider two main aspects of all this whole episode U are talking about.

1... U have anything but U have kept it secret for suitable occasion/event. For example Nasr was only fired when India declared its cold start doctrine is ready to implement and this very test virtually sent ripples in the Indian planners out there. U must be aware that even Indian Def Attachee was specially invited to witness this very test which normally is not the routine.

2... U dont have anything but still act like U have a lot and thus keep the enemy confused and keep on guessing it till U actually have that very thing.

If a test fails then the reasons of failures get known to he concerned and they take remedial steps to augment those. Whats the fun in releasing the news that "Mubarak ho aaj ka test bilkul nakam raha" (trust me You ll see such comments on media while others wud be bashing military for wasting so much money while others would be critical to cut the defenc budget and use it for education, health and ofcourse METRO and ORANGE LINE etc). On the contrary we are a country with limited resources and any failure made public means enemy knows how much edge he has upon us in that very area and for how much time. Its all correlated and things aint that much easy as we speak.

Guys, I have just learned that this was a false or rather premature news.
However I have also been informed that expect some fireworks today as missile firing is planned by the PN later.
Have been promised all the details within next five hours.
