I read somewhere that one of these armed with a 'tactical nuclear warhead' would be enough to obliterate everything in a 1 mile radius....pray tell me whether thats true and if so then what would be devastating capability of one of these missiles when armed with a 'conventional warhead' ?
On what basis can you differentiate the warheads?
Guidance systems or Nuke/non-nuke?
What is the point of keeping the range at 60kms...I think only Amritsar falls in that range.
My first guess would be weapon yield but then it could be an air burst design armed with cluster munitions.
Oscar and sir Agno are best guys to comment on this.

Good! But you could have at least provided some details! I'll do that for you...
The name "Nasr" is an Arabic word meaning "Victory". (Why give Arabic names is a mystery!!)
Developed by Pakistan's National Development Complex (NDC), the Hatf IX Nasr has a range of 60 km and is carried by the an 8x8 high mobility transporter erector launcher (TEL) as the Pakistan Army's AR-1A / A-100E 300mm Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS).
The Hatf IX was developed to add deterrence value at shorter ranges with high accuracy and shoot and scoot capability. The system appears to have been developed as a low-yield battlefield deterrent targeted at mechanized forces like armed brigades and divisions. The system is probably to respond to India's so called "Cold Start Doctrine".
Cheers!
The missile indicates that Pakistan has Micro nukes..
probably next step should be to make Miniature MIRV out of these Micro warheads and an Ghauri....
5-6 of these can be fitted in Ghauri....or Shaheen.

After Nasr, the 60KM range - the next missile might be shoulder-launched nuclear capable 5KM range design. An idea that would be a suicidal design but imagine what it can cause to enemy as a single person can penetrate into enemy territory which in the days of wars is no big deal and fire at GHQ, Airports and Ammunition Storage. Sounds toooooo good if it turns true.
Or it could just be a mockup with a different paint scheme?
My guess is that the second missile was a dummy.
Cluster munitions are a possibility because Pakistan has made Artillery shells having cluster munitions.
It could be a back up missile....in case the first launch malfunctions or goes astray. ??
One word- Dangerous.
Atomic demolition munition is more preferable.
