Earlier this month, Pakistan conducted successful flight test of Shaheen-3, a surface-to- surface ballistic missile, having range of 2750 Kilometers, reported ISPR on Wednesday.

The test aimed at revalidating “various design & tech parameters of weapon system,” said the official statement.

President Arif Alvi, Prime Minister Imran Khan, CJCSC & Services Chiefs have congratulated scientists and engineers.

Is this an upgraded missile or just a routine training launch?

probably a training launch

 

[Cool_Soldier]

Routine Test to check various parameters.

Still, expecting something like abbabeel 1 OR 2 Test

Routine test nothing new or surprising..... Pakistan test Ghaznavi every year in Janurar/Feb... last year tested on 23 Jan...

 

[Pakistan Space Agency]

Masha'Allah, tlhird missile test of 2021.

Ever missile test is a successful message sent to the enemy, India.

Routine training launch

 

[Windjammer]

Part of ongoing field exercises.

 

[Maarkhoor]

For new comers....

Don't go for range but check the versatility of warheads, it can carry thermometric, Nuclear, HE and plenty of other warheads with near 100% of accuracy....

This is training launch.

It'll be interesting if we build a new family of TRBMs from the Nasr and/or Fatah-line. I believe Nasr at least has some kind of maneuverability element (not sure if its warhead or missile). It'd be amazing if we could get our own Iskander-type BM using that work. @SQ8 @JamD

Roughly equivalent to the Pershing 1 missile.
Not bad...
We need lots of these to swamp anti-ballistic missile systems.

 

[khansaheeb]

We need to give all our missiles stealth capabilities, perhaps with radar absorbent paint and contouring.

Warheads?
W85 type with a 5 to 80 kT tritium boosted. Or possibly with a single MARV.
What is the CEP roughly?

We need 70 of these babies ( with decoys ).

Yep, the fly is staying dead.

Warheads?
W85 type with a 5 to 80 kT tritium boosted. Or possibly with a single MARV.
What is the CEP roughly?

We need 70 of these babies ( with decoys ).

Warhead is ~700kg HE/NE, not MIRV
CEP is probably ~300m.

Edit: The M-11 which this is probably based off, has a CEP of 500m, and the M-11A (with GPS) has a CEP of 20-30m. I don't know if Pakistan upgraded Ghaznavi in any such way.
