Pakistan Navy test fire indigenously developed Cruise Missile with anti-ship/land attack capability

Congrats navy Pakistan zindabad........can anyone tell why one officer face is hidden is he from special forces?

it is an SOP to cover face

It looks like a modified version of Babur, but exhaust and body shape/size suggests it is a derivative of Babur cruise missile. Consider following two photos.

Navel version: Sea to sea and land attack (possibly) Babur Cruise Missile

Surface to surface: Babur Cruise Missile

it is different than babur. completely new platform

Good job. We need to be able to hit oil refineries any where in India. No need to limit our selves to Jamnagar.

 

[Jinn Baba]

Good to see Navy keeping up with the "surprise" game

 

[Zarvan]

I wonder if any tech dropped by the indians as part of sirJiKal was used here

That test will take time. As things are under examination and soon work will begin to make those.

@Bilal Khan (Quwa) since you like analyzing picture frames, this video has ample opportunities. Take a look at this frame which clearly shows the missile's shape:

Some points to note:

1. That halo of light is interesting. Each frame in the camera is the result of collecting light over an interval called 'exposure time'. When the camera started collecting the light from this frame, the missile was in flight, but before the next frame starts, the missile has exploded and preliminary light from the explosion has been collected. In my humble opinion, this is a fuel air mixture that started ignition at the boundaries and the camera has captured this initial reaction. The very next frame looks like this:

2. My eyeball approximation gives 60 ft as the diameter of the fireball. That's total incineration in a circle of diameter 60 ft, and then there would be the backlash of air.

3. The missile shows wings in the terminal phase, whereas the initial firing shows a simple cylinderical missile. This shows the level of sophistication of Pakistani missile program. We have retractable fins which can unfold in-flight. This implies maneuverability of the missile, and possibly the ability to change position based on GPS and mid-flight course correction signals.

4. In a sea to land mode, the missile would wreak havoc upon missile batteries, radar installations, fuel dumps, ammo dumps etc. A single ship carrying 6 missile can cause approx. 17000 sq ft of destruction which is about 1/3rd of an American football field based on my internet search. We need to increase both the range of the missile and the number of ships so Indian coastline can be bombarded from further away by FAC crafts.

Pakistan has Babur in pretty much every flavour now including;

• Submarine launched land attack version
• Ship launched land attack version
• Ship launched sea attack version
  
• Land to sea attack version
• Land to land attack version
• Air to land attack version.

Pakistan has spectrum of indigenously made offensive choices against India. Babur can be tipped with Nuclear warhead which means a single shot will eliminate any naval, air or military base anywhere in India.

India still doesn't realise what it is trying to provoke.

60 feet incineration for sure but the blast radius might be 3 times more... 240feet radius of instant shredding and tearing.. or circumference of 2piR = 1500 feet circle border of complete destruction

Yeah, I only narrated the visible effects. The air pressure effects weren't discernible. Can I ask where you get the 3 times number?

Here it is explained on what this missile is in this tweet.

range of our cruise missiles should be above 1000km as indian nirbhay cruise missile can reach Islamabad if launched from india

Why navy is using a separate twitter handle? What happened to ispr?

 

[SSGcommandoPAK]

Test video !

Don't know.

ISPR is too army centric. Perhaps if they get a new DG from either AF or Navy things might change.

yes the target was indian tech
