. .
Is it a 2750 Km range missile or it is a long range missile tested for 2750 KM.
 
. .
The missile was tested at it's maximum range.

Rawalpindi - March 9, 2015:
Pakistan today conducted a successful test launch of Shaheen-III Surface to Surface Ballistic Missile, capable of carrying nuclear and conventional warheads to a range of 2750 Kms. The test launch was aimed at validating various design and technical parameters of the weapon system at maximum range.

Welcome to ISPR
They can also lie to hide somethings

I'm not interested in more range, i'm interested to see if or not we have the capability to destroy our principle threat in an ABM infested environment. Shaheen-IIIs range clearly says that we are focused on our principle threat. Its not been codenamed Shaheen-IIA because it offers substantial technology upgrade on the Shaheen-II system which is enough to be classified as a new system.

Will it be called Hatf-X ?

just 2750 km must be 4500 km but anyways congrass :P shaheen 3 finally came out
Dont worry cover your nation A - Z

All tests are monitored by our satellites and ship-based radars, so hiding range from public is useless.
LOLZz even US failed to identify and here "our satellites and ship-based super duper radar" :lol:
 
.
They've never said before that the missile is tested at maximum range and if they've named it as Shaheen 3, then 2750 definitely isn't its max range otherwise what's the purpose of new name for just 250Km increased range? :azn:
