Hatf-IX - Tactical Multi-Tube Ballistic Missile

[Rafi]

Pakistan now, has the full spectrum nuclear warfare capability, with new multi megaton strategic MIRV assets in development, to sub-kiloton tactical battlefield weapons. We have now in place a deterrence against a sneak attack both conventional and unconventional.

And when our array of SAR equipped EO - Satellites are in orbit, we will have networked through the use of thermal imaging any missile launch or even the engines of an indian army armored regiment.

RSSS is planned to be a progressive and sustainable program. Initially, SUPARCO plans to launch an optical satellite with payload of 2.5 meter PAN in 700 km sun-synchronous orbit by the end of year 2011, which will be followed by a series of optical and SAR satellites in future. Necessary infrastructure for ground control and image reception and processing is also planned to be setup.

I didn't say we should stop making nukes...

Not after having Nasr in the inventory.. we would need more of those as there are lots of launchers for those.

I am waiting for the day when Pakistan would have Submarine Launch Cruise Missile in our arsenal.. that will be yet another candidate for the nuclear "tip".

Congrats pakistani scientists - we salute you! Amidst all the bad news we constantly hear regarding pakistan (i.e. drone attacks, bombings etc..) Its nice to finally see some good news for a change!!

I hope we work on a sub launched nuke capable missiles........ Would be awesome to see the agostas and the new JV subs firing missiles while submerged......... :SNIPER: = COLD WAR.

Firing ballistic missile from Agostas and Diesel submarines????

Naval launched version of Babur CMB........... I heard they r already making one.

Muslims are the pioneer of fighting effective battles with less manpower and lower quality weapons.
Congatulation to Pakistani defence industry for this accomplishment.
I said last year that low intensity short range nukes could render cold start ineffective.
Watching my idea turned into reality is indeed inspiring.

The sheel will of Pakistani people will always keep it protected.

After this test deep inside many people across the border knows that Pakistan have now achieved the capability of using the nuclear weapons in a non nuclear environment which obviously our adversary does not possess.Furthermore with this baby Pakistan have not only gain the tactical weapons advantage over india but have taken it to a completely different level.Thanks to our scientists who work day and night and despite the limited resources make things which are completely out of the box.

I think it is good pakistan is developing missiles for different scenarios including short range missiles which may need to be used on our own territory! I know it may sound crazy but its best to be prepared for worse case scenarios.After all, better safe than sorry right!?

The thing is, most missiles are designed to be hit in enemy territory - which is obviously ideal. However, what if a scenario occurs where a foreign army is able to enter pakistan? this would usually occur when they have been able to outpower/out manouvre your airforce/army etc...
so in another word they will be pretty much close to taking over pakistan...it is scenarios such as this that will require using these types of short range missiles, even on our territory as it will be better than surrendering!

BTW, in response to all those people who feel pakistan should not use this missile on indian forces IF they manage to cross into pakistan, as it will end up triggering a nuclear strikes from india...well i think you guys need to re-think about this in more detail rather than starting childish arguments unnecessarily.
IF indian army manages to come into pakistan, what do you expect us to do? Give all control of pakistan over to you?? Ofcourse not! that is where we would use such missiles as at that point its either use last resorts or surrender!

I know its not ideal to use such missiles (especially nuclear capable) in your own territory....but dont forget they are not designed to be fired off every second day, as some of you are making it sound like. They are designed to be used when pakistan is under threat and as a last resort! when it comes to a question of Pakistan's survival then everything is allowed!! Even if it means taking the enemy down with us!!

I even forgot what this thread was all about

I even forgot what this thread was all about

It is about NASR...

The fact is.. this new missile is a dangerous development.
First, it has now openly declared the long "hush" policy of first use of our nukes.
Second, if used with a miniature nuke, you go into two types of escalation... tit for tat.. or all out.
In a tit for tat scenario you keep upping the nuclear ante till you have lost it all... a strike on an armored column is answered by a strike on an airfield...which is answered by a strike on a small city.. etc
Unfortunately.. Pakistan has very little to lose.. and not in the positive sense of the phrase.

In an all out scenario, you are gambling on the fact that the use of this weapon will bring a halt to the enemy's resolve, letting them know you are prepared to use nuclear weapons on your own soil.
Which brings us to two scenario's again..
1. It works: the enemy backs down, horrified by the use of the nuclear weapon, you go to negotiations.. you settle.. but the effect of radiation doesn't negotiate..your populace, your environment is effect, and while the enemy may or may not feel the effects.. you do..for years and years to come. Possibly leading to a national collapse anyway.

2. It fails: the Enemy retaliates.. then you either go into a tit for tat scenario.. or go all out..in which case you use everything you have. Ensuring your own complete utter destruction in the process, but taking the enemy with you.
India's second strike will wipe out whatever is Pakistan(save balochistan and FATA maybe..ironic isnt it??).. but that second strike will save very little.. the horror of nuclear aftermath will leave India mangled, devastated.. and with a small chance of recovery. Since it is assumed in the circles that be. that any strike by Pakistan will include the essential resources as well.. especially those that involve water.

In any case, it seems the "fears" in the Indian media arent all built of paper.. there is still a large belligerent faction in the PA.. that does not want to let go of its main "source" of existence.

Sir Nabil,

Thanks for giving another big news of Hatf-10! you deserve 10/10 for revealing this 10!

Regarding Hatf-9, is there any idea how much would it cost and what are the prospects of exporting it?

Bullshit.
You have just tested some rocket or SRBM which you already have many years before not a tactical nuke. A good read of Indian nuclear doctrine will bust you nauseating tall claims.

Buddy, only USA has the tech to produce such a sophisticated weapon...called "lance"............ Also it is a miniature nuke thts why it has a range of 60 kms..........not 600 or 6000 km.
