Gentlemen, I am hearing some interesting chatter on this test. Apparently this smart weapon has a range greater than 300 Kms - in fact closer to 600kms!! This is because Pakistan is not a signatory to MTCR treaty so the range of the weapon has been extended. Also the weapon is most likely 'Satellite Guided'.
If this is true, all indian cities within 600 km range, which includes indian capital NEW Delhi, can be targeted!!
Even if Pakistan was a member of MTCR it can develop missiles with ranges exceeding 300km. MTCR's range clause is for exports only. If a missile is built for own military you can build ICBMs and the MTCR won't give a hoot.
Besides this appears to be a glide bomb, not a missile. Perhaps an improved version of H-4.
