Pakistan Succesful Test Fired Hatf-VIII Ra'ad ALCM

[Kompromat]

Can it be used to target enemy naval ships etc.?

Yes, it can hit both land and sea targets.

 

[Dalit]

350 km range? LOL

It's an air-launched cruise missile. You do know what that is? The range of this particular missile is more than sufficient. Compare the range with other ALCM. You'll be surprised. Air-launched cruise missile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

=======================

RAWALPINDI: Pakistan on Monday conducted a successful flight test of the indigenously developed Air Launched Cruise Missile (ALCM) “Ra’ad”, said an Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) press release.

The Ra’ad missile, with a range of 350 km, enables Pakistan to achieve strategic standoff capability on land and at sea.

“Cruise Technology” is extremely complex and has been developed by only a few countries in the world. The state of the art Ra’ad Cruise Missile with Stealth Capabilities is a low altitude, terrain hugging missile with high maneuverability; can deliver nuclear and conventional warheads with pin point accuracy.

Director General Strategic Plans Division, Lieutenant General Zubair Mahmood Hayat, while congratulating the scientists and engineers on achieving yet another milestone of historic significance, termed it a major step towards strengthening Pakistan’s Full spectrum Credible Minimum Deterrence capability. Pakistan’s strategic pursuits are aimed at achieving strategic stability in the region, he said.

He appreciated the technical prowess, dedication and commitment of scientists who contributed whole heartedly to make this launch a success.

He showed his full confidence over operational preparedness of strategic forces including employment and deployment concepts, refinement and training of all ranks in operational and technical domains.

The successful launch has been commended by President Mamnoon Hussain and Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, who have congratulated the scientists and engineers on their outstanding achievement.

Yes.



5X submarines including AIP, each can carry 16X babur if needed in torpedo tubes. However such a load out is unlikely to be allocated to a sub crew.



We have partial triad because we don't have an SSBN. We are working towards that end, slowly but steadily.



Yes by AERO formerly known as Air Weapons Complex.



While designing this system Indian radar capabilities are kept in mind though i can't give you a specific answer to this question.



India and Pakistan test missiles around the same time not because of tit for tat posture but because they get money allocated to them around the same time and the climate is suitable for testing around the same time due to geographic proximity.

thanks for info..
i would like to
1. Raad desgin by pak.. many peceived its usa missle droped unexplded and pak got it..
any proof that raad degin by pak.. if so why its name is so diffrent thena babaur gharuiand other missile ?

2. testing..
see the indian test and pak test time .. it cant be so much coincedence ..
india test first so cant blame them.. it thre schdue..
pak always testing in 2-3 days of indina test.. it cant be more reactive than schedule test

Agni-5 is a 50 ton fatty which can never be a true road mobile missile.
Look around,all road mobile missiles in the world are less than 30 tons. Same as Pakistan's shaheen 2

Wrong .

Russian Topol ICBM weighs 45 tons and Topol-M weighs 47 tons ...... Both are perfectly road mobile .

Comparison with Shaheen 2 is moot as it has half the range of A5 .

Before loading that thing to sub,, it require underwater tests.

lolwa

Are they still expecting an unsuccessful test after testing and retesting it for the nth time

This was the first time we see the shadow of Raad on ground. Previous tests were at altitude.

Yes this time i was wrong

 

[datalibdaz]

Many of Idoits here dont know even the abc's of these CM's and what purpose they are for and how complicated these technologies are....Just look at how Raad dive's in Terrain hugging mode, regain's stability... heck even see the shadow on the ground... Travelling at 0.7-0.8 Mach it will just creep up behind the enemy who will not know what hit em... Loaded on a ''Night Strike Mirage'' at night...Nightmares for everyone...Kudos to the Engineers

two different descriptions
1- The Ra'ad is an air-launched cruise missile (ALCM) developed by Pakistan and operational with the Pakistan Air Force (PAF).

Yes.

question: is Ra'ad Capable on Air, land and at sea ?

 

[kurup]

Too slow and ineffective, you can see the fire engines on the bottom which is similar to Russia missiles, yep.

Slow and ineffective .......

Not just Russian missiles , fire comes out of bottom of almost all missiles launched vertically .

 

[I.R.A]

Yes, it can hit both land and sea targets.

Can you please give some detailed opinion / views on how it is effective in current scenario and why its test was deemed necessary I mean to counter what threat exactly or is it just to show of new tech, power etc.?


Considering, when on other hand our counter parts are going big why we are not going big?


And when we view it in context of targeting enemy naval targets is it sufficient to cover our shortcomings in our naval force?

This missile is like cobra, you wont know until it bites you and once it does, you are dead.

Bro, its a trial version, not a operational version.

Even the trial version of Agni-3 was 45t, but then operational version reduced to 22 tonne. Wait and watch.
