NOTAMS/NAVAREA IX Navigation Warnings for Exercises/Missile Tests

[The Deterrent]

For some reason a new navarea warning was issued with the same area and times of the previous divided into two with different safety heights.

@The Deterrent thoughts?

Yeah I saw in this in the morning, thought another area has been added to the enclosure, but it turned out to be the same with different safety heights.

I don't really know why, maybe some flights needed access over the smaller area at that altitude and they issued a modified warning for that. It probably has nothing to do with the test itself (as in any other system tested instead or something like that).

 

[Arsalan]

Quite a few live fire exercises have been carried out over past few days, sharing nav. area warning for all of them is not important since these were mostly anti aircraft gun firing exercises.

This however is interesting because it is related to Oman (not Pakistan). Please note that Pakistan navy is responsible for issuing security and NAVAREA warnings for NAVAREA IX which goes beyond our borders!

Somniani (the area seems wrong for a launch from Sonmiani) but I don't know of any other known launch site that would make sense. It would either have to be really up north or in Balochistan.

Harba or Babur 3, nope, they'll not go that altitude. It's something else this time.

 

[RIP Pak LAW]

Ababeel ?

Shaheen 1A, probably.

 

[Dazzler]

Ababeel ?

Nah, insufficient range for ababeel.

 

[RIP Pak LAW]

Nah, insufficient range for ababeel.

hmmm ok ! with new sophisticated tracking system in place, all kind of missiles, from shorter to longer range, in arsenals will be tested for perfect validation and improvement moving forward

Misleading illustration. This specific warning has not been issued by Pakistan (however as @Arsalan mentioned, PN publishes it because its the NAVAREA IX custodian), and pertains to Oman (that's why its directly off the coast of Oman). It is for AShM firing within the enclosed area.

There is neither any safety corridor extending from Pakistan to that area, nor can Pakistan conduct missile firing that close to another country.

Did Oman going to test something?

Did Oman going to test something?

Really doubt they have any thing to test

Did Oman going to test something?

The designated area indicate normal/routine live firing exercise only

Really doubt they have any thing to test

They have a lot of Indian stuff stationed there

Absolutely no issue at all!
