Hatf IX Nasr Missile Tested by Pakistan

KARACHI - Pakistan will test fire its new missile Nasr by the end of this month and most likely on May 28th. The missile with 180 km range has a high degree of accuracy. According to sources, Pakistan Army has completed all its preparation to test fire the nuclear-capable, surface-to-surface ballistic missile Nasr.

The name Nasr is an Arabic word meaning Victory.

Nasr can carry nuclear warheads and can hit the target with high accuracy, it is learnt.

If western nations whine about this, then they will enter a new frontier in hypocrisy.

There is too much testing in recent weeks from nuclear missile test (Shaheen 1A, Ghaznavi ) and now Nasr. Both Shaheen 1A and Gaznavi were surprised without announcement but Nasr is in advance of annoucement, huh?

Air-defence is empty, we haven't tried to test it.

I already was expecting Nasr 2 version in this month. Nasr is the better tactical missile with high speed could be nightmare for forward bases with minimal possibility of detection and its Nice to see technology is successfully miniaturizing as Nasr 1 . Can't wait for this launch. Best of Luck NDC :pop:

yup i am surprised that why it is announced in advance.

Yup its always nice to have a surface nuclear explosion abt 160 km away from where you leave ...:hitwall:

Nothing like a fresh dose of radiation everytime you step out...:azn:

Fukishima incident let the fear of nuclear dust cloud spreading till europe and here you are trying to detonate a nuclear device 160 km away to stop an intruding brigade :lol:

Neither India nor pakistan can use nuclear weapon.... one who uses will also be not spared from nuclear winter ....So stop being childish.... Last thing you want to do sentence yourself a slow painful death of radiation:wave:

All wrong.

Instead of using "cartoons" in your post to make it look a "heavy-blow" to Pakistani members , learn something before posting.

Nasr WILL be used to strike bulk of Indian forces on Pakistani land. Its nuclear warhead will be very , very small. It won't cause much radiation , but it will definitely take out Indian battle-groups on Pakistani soil.

If you observed the Air Force's High Mark 2010 exercises and then the largest exercise of Pakistan Army , Azam-e-Nau 3 , you'll know that Pakistani military is gearing itself to effectively counter the so called "Cold Start doctrine" of India. Tests of Nasr , Shaheen-1A , Ghaznavi etc etc are part of same link. Pakistan doesn't need long-range Strategic nuclear missiles ...In order to struck-off a full-fledged Indian conventional assault (CSD) , Pakistan needs : Advanced F-16s fully loaded with AIM-120Cs , JF-17 Thunders fully loaded with SD-10Bs , Mirages III/Vs , some serious artillery , thousands of tanks in the deserts of Sindh and plains of Punjab , Nasr , Shaheen-1A , Ghaznavi , Sub-marines , Babur cruise missiles , Ra'ads etc etc ....

You see , this is what Pakistan Army is deploying/planning to deploy/testing from last 5 years or so best of luck for your Cold-Start ......

Nasr threaten's India's Army and Air Bases near Pakistani border.

The range, speed, shoot-scoop capability, and 2+ launchers is something every opponent will always scratch it's heads about.

how many kilograms of conventional weapon can nasr carry?

Not sure about conventional, but it can carry a sub-Kiloton tactical Nuclear war head.

It is understandable.. Pakistan's army is trying very hard to match india conventionally. Only way for them to get close to that is to perfect the use of tactical nuclear warheads in battlefield.
 
.
nuclear attack on indian troops,ships, carriers will considered as attack on Indian soil and will be replied accordingly.

by the way congratulations.

And we will reply accordingly as well.

This missile isn't primarily for conventional usage. It is to be used primarily for with tactical weapons.

How does a Battlefield Range ballistic missile profit anyone??
I mean wouldn't it be better to use cruise missiles, which have better or equal range and cost only a fraction more??
Even MANPADS would better, if you have them in large enough numbers......the newest ones are quite accurate...
Ballistic missiles are to difficult to maintain in my view......it is alright for strtegic and tactical purposes, but taking it to the battlefield seems useless.....
Feel free to Disagree...
