Pakistan possesses various ICBMs which have a range of 9000+ kilometres

[Edevelop]

listen son..economy is nothing......kuwait had economy,oil and money but no defence..hence saddam occupied it in 24 hours.....
just like your country bangladesh....the sort of defence you have...hell even burma can occupy you.
North Korea has zero economy...yet no one dares to occupy it since it has world's 4th largest army....understood??

So where would you get money to keep increasing your missile stockpile and or to keep your nukes safe?
North Korea is bankrupt. They are surviving because China is giving them loose pennies. In the next few years that country will declare itself to the world.

Pakistan does not need ICBMs to bomb India upside down.

 

[MilSpec]

Pakistan possesses the capability, to produce long range missiles. Agreed, unless you test it, produce it, and induct it, the capability will be of no use in contingency when/if you actually need to use it.

India centric threat has been already covered long ago, maybe it's time to realise there are other threats than India in future.

Pakistan has shown incredible speed in developing its missile program, Next step is to develop test and induct SLV's for an active space program.

The biggest threat to Pakistan is indeed US, that's why the development of ICBM is more meaningful to them than to India.

Doesn't matter how much amount of low end defence stuff you gather from china, US has been a lifesaver for pakistan vis-a-vis India. US has historically provided gamechangers to pakistan to ensure its minimal credible detterence.

Uncle, what about the soviets????didn't they have weapons???? why did they disintegrate?

Terminal X a "Ziad Hamid" type portal with not much credibility.

 

[Zarvan]

LAHORE: Earlier on April 26, 2012 when news broke of Pakistan testing its new Intermediate Ballistic Missile Hatf-IV (Shaheen-1A), Terminal X contacted Brigadier Ateeq ur Rehman, Director PR for the Pakistani military's Inter-Services Public Relations regarding the range of the latest variant. This scribe was informed that the range has not been disclosed for various reasons.

Later today, a Pakistani military source for TX made an important disclosure: the mysterious range everyone was guessing for the Shaheen-1A is not 2500 kilometers or 5000 kilometers as some exaggerated, it has a maximum range of just 1500 kilometers. According to the official, there were two main objectives of this short test:
Enhance accuracy for pinpoint attacks
Inclusion into the league of nations which have developed intermediate ballistic missiles.
The official stated that Pakistan's deterrence is foremostly against any aggressive Indian adventurism that can turn the region into an inferno. In the official's opinion, India carried out the recent Agni-V ICBM test to send an indirect signal to its rival China, whom it has strong reservations against for various reasons.

It was also revealed by the official that India's military establishment has not shared the actual range of the Agni-V ICBM which happens to be 8000 kilometers, not 5000 kilometers as falsely broadcast in the mainstream media.


"Pakistan possesses various ICBMs which have a range of 9000+ kilometres", said the official, "But they will be revealed and tested when there is a need for it. At the moment, Pakistan is silently observing the Eastern Theatre of Operations spearheaded by the US and its increasing presence in Europe, the Pacific Ocean and South Asia. Add to that Indian frolicking and the coming US-Israel drills in the Middle East... and when the time comes, those who should know, will know, Pakistan also has targets beyond India... way beyond India".

He added, "A wise group does not consider the Agni-V test as a threat for Pakistan but rather for China, and China is smart enough to deal with it. The military establishment is not really considering ICBM tests soon since we consider silence as the ultimate weapon. It might be that Israel signaled India to provoke Pakistan into doing an ICBM test and exposing their exact range so that an international conspiracy against the country's nukes could be initiated as is being currently done against North Korea. Far from being slapped with sanctions, India instead received appreciation from the US, NATO and Israel for its recent test".


And, as this scribe repeated the million dollar question, 'Any ICBM tests in the pipeline?'

"Well, yes.. My vote is not for it though".

Exclusive: Pakistani security official discusses the Shaheen-1A test ~ Terminal X

This is not the new thing everyone knew Pakistan is working on ICBM because what ever we do we can never trust America Israel and Europe and to protect our security we need long range missiles to hit any kind of targets so we can deter our enemies so Pakistan if later tests a long range missile it will be not surprising at all

come on guys this is just a trick by pakistani general. pakistan can prolly improve the guidence system of the present missiles and by reducing payload they can extend shaheen 2 to 5000-6000km. but saying that we have already assembled missiles and are keeping them in store is like

this is not practical and even improving a guidence system take huge knowledge and pakistan has never developed guidence system on its own.

Sir you guys said the same kind of things before we tested our Cruise Missile and than for many months Indians didn't knew what to say you also have developed most things from Russia Pakistan is from very long working on longer range missiles and it is a known fact which most world knows

Some people dont mind sounding stupid as long as they can utter something that shows Pakistan ahead of India (for the writer of the article.. Not Albatross)

Seriously, enough with conspiracy theories guys ..

 

[ZABASHO]

The biggest threat to Pakistan is indeed US, that's why the development of ICBM is more meaningful to them than to India.

you've been drinking too much coffee lately buddy, caffeine addiction??

But perceived within the Pakistani military establishment is India as the primal threat, whereas US is currently at top spot due to public anger against US ops on Pakistani soil as well as the future after 2014.

If the current situation remains constant, after US withdrawal India will regain the number 1 position, hence good move by Pakistani govt. to work up trade with India during this period and ICBM.

What sorta crap is this? It is so nonsensical it ain't even funny!

Anyway, I'll still put a laughing smiley here even though it ain't funny.

dude i agree that india learnt most of the basics of ballistics and nuclear engineering from russia.

they have helped as our teachers and gurus in past. china made their first ballistic missile from russia and all their planes are from russian technology.

but why india and china are different from pak?
we invest billions into indegeneous tech. india can today build its own ring laser gyroscope.trust me pak cant even dream of it. its one the most complex gidence systems to make.
drdo has 52 labs and 8000 scientists and working on 500 different projects. pakistan has 1 facility where all this assembling of chinese missiles happen.

pakistan is simply trying to increase the range of the missile. no one keeps icbms in safe loll.

Sir we will test us when time will suit us we don't have any need to test them now when will have the whole world will see as they saw the tests in 1998

 

[LiberalAtheist]

the credibility of the source is highly questionable and not to mention even if Pak had ICBM's who would they use them on? unless they want to send it around the world and back to south asia

 

[Nishan_101]

do you guys know Pak sent its first rocket rehbar 1Rehbar-I - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia into space in 1961 and india was able to do so 2 years later in 1963..it proves the edge we have over indians regarding rockets and missiles thats another thing we cant showoff all we have owing to certain factors as i mentioned in my last post..But guys I have my own resouces which cant be disclosed on an open forum like this but we do have missiles ready to be tested with ranges b/w 9000-1000 km and time will tell...and the learned circles around the globe know it

The mishap was we were unable to develop the basic R&D facilities at that time for aerospace and for other purposes which has destroyed our country a lot. If had continued from 60s then now we would have achieved them same level in technology like the Chinese and most probably even better!

 

[The Deterrent]

Buddy, what's your problem with Pakistan having ICBM?

No,no...I dont have any problem with that...I would be rather happier if Pakistan today possessed ICBMs and SLVs alongwith a strong economy.

I am saying THREE things.

1. Pakistan doesn't needs ICBMs (but we do need SLVs).
2. Developing such a project right now is not feasible.
3. Any project of these specifications does not exist in developmental stages.

The weapon which we should be looking upto is the 4000 km range, MIRVed missile.

 

[Alchemy]

You mean some other country will tell us when to test our ICBM??

Why do you sound surprised .... some or the other country has always been dictating terms even in the past ....
