Pakistan Shaheen 3 Can Hit Deep Inside India and Israel

[Sneaker]

What would be the impact on the range of a ballistic missile if it's launch due east, with the spin of earth?

It will reduce compared to other directions (North-south will not be affected, west increases), if all other factors were to be constant. This is oversimplification, but def there will be reduction is range of the missile.

Since when did Israel was our arch nemesis? -_-

Also, this makes us sound like we're some brainwashed mullays.

Haq's Musings: Pakistan's Shaheen III Can Serve as SLV & Hit Deep Inside India, Israel

Pakistan has successfully tested Shaheen III ballistic missile with 1700 mile range. The intermediate range missile can hit deep inside India and Israel. Its multi-stage solid-fuel technology can also be used to launch satellites into space. It's the latest example of dual-use technology.

The missile was successfully test-fired into the Arabian Sea on Monday, March 9, 2015, according to the Strategic Plans Division (SPD) which oversees Pakistan’s nuclear program. Announcing the result, General Zubair Mahmood Hayat, the head of SPD, congratulated NESCOM (National Engineering and Scientific Commission) scientists and engineers for “achieving yet another milestone of historic significance.”


Shaheen-III is the latest in the series of the indigenously produced Shaheen-I and Shaheen-II, which had shorter ranges. “The test launch was aimed at validating various design and technical parameters of the weapon system at maximum range,” the Pakistani military said in a statement. Pakistani military leaders are trying to maintain a“credible deterrence” as arch-rival India continues to invest heavily in military hardware.

Since the technology used in satellite launch vehicles (SLV) is virtually identical to that used in a ballistic missile, Shaheen 3, the latest enhancement to Shaheen series of missiles, is expected to boost Pakistan's space program as well. Several nations, including India and Israel recently, have used same rocket motors for both ballistic missiles and satellite launch vehicles (SLVs). Israel's Shavit SLV and India's SLV-3 are examples of it.

The success of Shaheen 3 multi-stage solid-fueled ballistic missile is a confirmation of Pakistan's determination to ensure its security AND to pursue its space ambitions at the same time. I congratulate Pakistani engineers and scientists at NESCOM on their hard work, continuing deep commitment and the latest achievement.

The hype for a missile that can only hit 2750 kms should be toned down a notch. Every other thread is repeating the same thing over and over again. We have no quarrel with Israel and there is no need to start one either.

Doesn't prograde (eastward launch) increase the range?

Nope.The range will remain the same no matter in which direction the missile is fired.it is due to inertia

Doesn't prograde (eastward launch) increase the range?

Yes and no. There are 2 effects 1 is increasing the range (due to earth's momentum) and 2 Decreasing range (due to earth's rotation). However, I think increase in range is always smaller than decrease in range (due to losses frictional and other losses) in eastward launch. Exact amount will be based on so many factors...

I would be if there was no atmosphere and other losses. But that is not the case in actual world.

MRBM onwards have most of their trajectory out of atmosphere.

But they need to travel through atmosphere to go outside. That means crossing jet-streams and such.

Thats a very tiny portion of their trajectory. It won't have much impact no matter what direction it's being launched.

What other losses r u talking about cuz air friction,drag is equal in all directions while the earths rotation has no effect on missle's range either......it is like throwing a ball up from a moving car,the ball will still come down at the same position relative to car....

Do you know what is maximum height a missile achieves?

No it won't always. In a vacuum, yes. But otherwise no.

Last time they fired a missile, they didn't know where it had fallen. Its pieces were shown on TV. You need guidance technologies to guide the rocket. What seeker has Pakistan developed? I think they just fired it towards the sea and started reciting surah.

691 Km for Shaheen III and 383 Km for Shaheen II.

Seeker on ballistic missile? Yep he knows a lot... Go sing bhajan or something.

Then how will the range b increased or decresed with earth's rotations considering drag to be equal in all directions?
