Incremental upgrades in Pakistani Nuclear missiles over the years

[Safriz]

Most of these are Infographics created by myself. May contain links to my other social media platforms. This is a the media i had been creating and posting on social media over the years with good research and intent of promoting Pakistan's weapons technology prowess and have it be known to the world.
I ask members to re-post on their social media as a counteraction to constant Indian Propaganda of Imparting missiles instead of making them.

That incremental advancement is an irrefutable evidence of indigenous R&D program.

208 is the air to land and 209 is the air to sea version

Pakistan's Nasr Missile has a very large Warhead/Electronics compartment compared to Weishi -2 rocket which is claimed to be source of Nasr.

Picture shows various versions of Shaheen missile including the Experimental version of Shaheen-1A,whch also may be the warhead design used on Shaheen-3

Casting the shadow. Pakistan's Raad cruise missile shown here in this video grab,flying in true terrain hugging mode.

"The incremental" upgrades as depicted in the pic are minor modifications in the missile body for improving flight profile, the real upgrades are invisible and massive and something to be very proud of.

Nasr missile with movable front fins as evident from lugs at the base of fins. Also different types of warheads.

Currently Pakistan has 13 types of nuclear missiles in service , hence "Full spectrum deterrence". India has only 8.

This is a very advanced missile programe ... with vast diversity in range and speed... to maneuvering re entry vehicles to stealthier designs.... keep it up guys

Its not proding along on fiat trucks and a superiority/inferiority complex

Speed mentioned is the Re-entry speed which happens at 60 Km altitude and then Warhead decelerates due to air friction.
In shaheen-3 the Warhead size has been reduced by 40% compared to Shaheen-2 , hence lower surface area,lower Radar signature, Lower air friction and lesser deceleration after re-entry.
The Re-entry speed of 22260 Km/h was mentioned by SPD official at recent IDEAS Exhibition. You can do the maths.

Very usefull info... keep it up bro

Just the work done on the material used for the skin of the warhead is mind boggling. Shows high level command of materials engineering and thermodynamics, laminar flow of heat, aerodynamics etc.

I can tell you that each of these missile systems has undergone far more modifications, minor and major changes, fixes in hardware and bug fixes and in addition to the numerous design iterations. I won't be able to share the whole lot of details but I can promise you that your scientists are working and often over time and when I say over time that means many sleepless nights but their passion does not die even when they face problems and even failures. Just the design and testing of a wing takes a lot of time and effort, a constant loop of iteration between aerodynamics, structural design and G&C teams, once they get through comes the team with radars and communication and then they demand certain iterations.. even though the best concepts of concurrent engineering and configuration management are applied. Each and every component gets tested and some of the components are extremely expensive because we are talking about milspec grades of special materials..so QA and QC guys are there...basically testing and evaluation and QAC guys apparently look like villains..but actually they all work together to deliver the nation a system that works and works the first time. I just wrote these few lines so you guys can appreciate the amount of effort goes into these system because all this effort is hidden from your eyes and most of you may never be able to see that in your entire life time but when you see the product just remember these lines. Because when a soldier gets shaheed everybody knows but a lot scientists and engineers even lay their lives during some tests but it never gets shared with the outside world.

Can you provide link, reference or insight into the S400 not being able to track anything above the speed of 4.8 km/sec?

Thats the best figure for tracking in my knowledge even for US radars...

Obviously the video was made for bravado on social media but the technological aspects and working of a three stage ballisti missile are accurately shown here.

https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=1094948167284033

Shaheen-3 is Pakistan's first three stage Ballistic missile. The third stage is tucked away in the triangular area above the second stage.
Indians did a similar thing to their Agni-3 and made Agni-5 by bolting on a third stage above the second stage in the triangular area.
Watch this A-5 picture where cable runner (The cable tube) can be seen starting just above the Indian Flag and then going to the Black triangle on the top or the warhead. thats the third stage.
Another cable runner starts just under the Indian flag and goes t the circular DRDO insignia? Thats the second stage. The cables for the first stage start just underneath where it says A5-01 and goes below towards the exhaust. cables are run outside the missile to keep fuel summitry and to avoid any electrical discharge in the fuel.
Shaheen-3 uses exactly the same formula and is an incremental upgrade of Shaheen-2. We don't have a high resolution picture of the actual missile or we had seen a similar stage arrangement.

Shahen-2 in two different types of camouflage . One more suited to dry desert environment other more suited to vegetation. Indicating deployment of the system in various parts of the country north and south.
