Pak Protests After DRDO Mentions K-15 As Ballistic

[Spring Onion]

I think due to secretive nature of project they didn't inform Pakistan as Drdo officer said its not ballistic missile its submarines launched surface to surface missile this is unique drdo tech.

@sancho @Abingdonboy

Pls can you clarify as to what purpose these notifications serves when it comes to missile testings??

Why was there a need for such an agreement on the first place??

Also why was only Ballistic missiles were kept & why not notifications of cruise missiles??

@arp2041 To avoid any confusion as such testing can be mistaken as preemptive strike. Its done by many countries to avoid possible chain reaction due to lack of knowledge and communication.

Lately India has been launching so many missiles that we might have skipped notifying one or two. Come man its all good. Meanwhle lets enjoy the launch once again. Everytime I watch this video gives me orgasms.

Which only makes sense in case of Pakistani missile tests, because most of Indian missile development trials are done at Chandipur( very few SFC tests are done at Pokhran), Pakistan can not detect these missile test, even if they were looking for it.

But since India needs information regarding impending Pakistani missile tests(to ward off accidental response), India exchanges information on reciprocal bases.

Cruise Missile are not included in this declaration.. because the time this deal was signed Cruise missile were not seen as major threat or a nuclear deterrent.
After development of Babur ..Indian approached Pakistan to include other types(cruise, Quassi) of missile in this deal also, but it was rejected.

I think its more a case of exploiting the grey area.
Oh it was not fully ballistic, it was quasi ballistic, oh no wait it was semi ballistic or was it submarine launched quasi ballistic.
DRDO itself couldn't categorize it clearly, so screw the agreement and make a new one which is more detailed.
Ex:- By 2014 air launched brahmos would be inducted on Su-30 mki. Technically it's a cruise missile but aircraft launched. So we would need more comprehensive agreements to cover all and any eventuality. I feel in the long run it will be helpfull to Pakistan only.

Purpose of the agreement to inform the other in advance of any test is to avoid a major incident, in tense times as these tracking a ballistic missile launch, not informed in advance may be considered as start of an attack by the other and may result in serious consequences.

This is not going to sit well with the folks across the western border. Its one thing to test a 1000-2000km slbm and another to test a depressed trajectory quasi ballistic missile. There is a reason why countries like Russia designed the Iskander system, at an altitude of 50km and approaching at hypersonic speeds such a system can hand down an over-match to most radar systems in the world. The low reaction time this system grants to the enemy effectively makes it a first strike weapon. Even if our doctrine states otherwise...we can hardly expect Pakistan to take our word for it. AND video taping the whole exercise itself and making it available for the free media will only make it look more aggressive. We are probably heading towards a severe escalation in the near future.

What purpose this agreement holds ???anybody

It is as a safety measure. So that a 'missile test' does not get mistaken as a 'missile attack'. It is a responsible step between both countries.

Ignorant indains riding the fart wave here think that its not important or that skipping to inform about one or two tests as india is testing the missiles as fast as it's delusional citizens spil their stinky brains like an oral dihharea is something to be proud of are only showing their casualness and ignorance.

There is hardly any reason to spew vitriol. Our side has conveyed the technicalities which we took into consideration when we decided to abstain from informing Pakistan about the test. There is no need to jump the gun here, these agreements are based on stringent terms and operate on the basis of a very exact framework. If, after our reply, the responsible authorities in Pakistan still feel that this test amounts to a violation then they can convey their reservations to India through the appropriate channel. India will surely comply since we do not want to cause an outright escalation in the subcontinent.

LoL this was the 14th overall and 11th of underwater test of K-15 missiles, you were none wiser too any of previous ones. It is only because this test was done in full media glare ..alarm bells started ringing Pakistan.

All though this missile test does not violate the treaty signed b/w India and Pakistan, which only pertains to missile flying a Ballistic trajectory.(Pakistan was given an option of including other types of nuclear capable missiles into this treaty , but buoyed by Babur's success and absence of any declared non-ballistic, nuclear capable missiles in development in India...Pakistan rejected this proposal.

Not that these test should be off concern to Pakistan, even if it was Ballistic missile..as they are done of East Coast of India in the Bay of Bengal.Pakistan does not have the ability to look that deep into Indian territory.
