2 Million dollar, no way dude, its not just the CM itself.Just two million dollors a piece.

Now that's i call right assessment of future requirement......We need SAMs as we need a short term countermeasure to PAK-FA T-50 and F22 Raptors.
Also, we dont ned just stealth capable, they have to be 140% stealth and faster than mach 7 to counter india anti missile system
How these are cheap?? Even you know its engine is usable for one hit only unlike the engine of F16/jf which have life for many years. and its costly coating of Babur and many other aspects.
I wonder how do you become a rocket scientist for PAF i want this to be my future job :O***
so why cant they just us Liquid Hydrogen?Agreed, the engine is single use only. The engine is what makes the cruise missile expensive when compared to other precision guided munitions.
But you should also consider the fact that the engine is relatively very simple and cheaper to make, thats why it is being produced locally. Besides, Pakistan's primary focus is to use these missiles for delivering nuclear warheads so there won't be any massive expenditure.
English is my forte, i was actually fearing the technical Urdu they'd use in Pakistani colleges, when i said rocket scientist i mean work with making PAF jets or these missiles, not NASA.You read a lot and study for one thing..
then you will read that PAF has no rocket scientists.. and that to become a rocket scientist you need to have a good aerospace degree from a reputable intuitionist and must do a lot of hard work. Including lots of mathematics and good solid theory taught in terse english.

For most interesting fields you need hard work, but precisely what courses and subjects to choose, from sixth-form till university?
If you were old enough to watch the first gulf war on TV---you would have known the the cruise missiles were launched at night time-----after they had taken out most of the sites---in later stages---they were launched during the day time.
The ones launched against Osama during Clinton's tenure---were also launched at night time---when american general Zinny was having dinner with the pakistani generals.
The BGM-109 Tomahawk costs $1.45 million per unit. Considering the quality of Babur's engine (which is not good) and its local production, it must be cheaper, and it can be assumed that one Babur CM costs $1-1.2 million for Pakistan.
Your focus should be on Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics.. and make sure you score top grades in these three.
You will not encounter technical Urdu in any good Pakistani college, they all teach in English.
As for your liquid Hydrogen question..
the Babur uses a turbofan which would explode if liquid hydrogen is used.. it uses a lighter form of JP-4 jet fuel.
Liquid hydrogen is best for rocket engines and use along with liquid oxygen..
In a missle the size of the babur.. such a propellent may yield higher speed.. but very little range.
