Pakistan successfully tests Babur 2 Cruise Missile.

[nadeemkhan110]

If Babur has to follow this path, Indian Interception rate would be above 80 percent. Their low level coverage and SAM radar coupled with AWAC can easily detect Babur on this Path.

Distance from Nagarparkar to Mumbai: 627 km

 

[Basel]

Upgraded Babur.
All platforms.

Will it be new long range coastal defense system?? Or it will be used to to nuke IN CBG??

 

[Ultima Thule]

No I know we can target Delhi/Mumbai which makes $500B of India GDP....

but we have ballistic missiles to cover whole India bro

An earlier test was also conducted from a 4X Tube launcher.

no .....

No PR256/2011-ISPR

Dated: October 28, 2011

A special feature of today’s launch was the validation of a new multi tube Missile Launch Vehicle (MLV) during the test. The three tube MLV enhances manifold the targeting and deployment options in the conventional and nuclear modes. With its shoot-and-scoot capability, the MLV provides a major force multiplier effect for target employment and survivability.

but now I am having a feeling that today's test is also conducted from 3 tube MLV as the video released for today's test showed another angle of launch vehicle for a fraction of second .....

but pic at ISPR site form a different angle give different impression

They need to release the footage from launch to the impact with loaded munition. The visuals are very potent to lower the moral of the enemy nations.

The second option looks pretty attractive...

It is a low flying, terrain hugging missile, which carries certain stealth features and is capable of carrying various types of warheads.Equipped with state of the art navigational technologies of Terrain Contour Matching (TERCOM) and all time Digital Scene Matching & Area Co-relation (DSMAC) which enables it to engage various type of targets with pinpoint accuracy even in the absence of GPS navigation. Babur Weapon System is an important force multiplier for Pakistan’s strategic defence.
Today’s launch was witnessed by Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee General Zubair Mahmood Hayat, senior officers from Strategic Plans Division, Strategic Forces, scientists and engineers of strategic organizations. Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee congratulated the scientists and engineers on achieving yet another milestone of great value and significance. He appreciated the technical prowess, dedication and commitment of scientists who contributed to the success of this launch.Expressing his full confidence over the Strategic Command and Control System and the Strategic Forces’ operational preparedness, CJCSC stated that this test further strengthens Pakistan’s Deterrence Capability. The President and the Prime Minister of Pakistan have congratulated the scientists and engineers on successful conduct of today’s missile test.

700KM range isn't enough to hit anywhere in India... you just said it can... it can't actually.

it's primary role is to take out heavily defended targets like air bases and other important installations. It allow deep strike capability to Pakistan with out putting it's personals in harms way.

Congrats to the SPD, And to the guys talking about its " low " range , this isn't the only missile we have , ( Shaheen 3 , 2750 km range , nuff said ), it has different purposes then the shaheen or Ghauri missiles.

They need to release the footage from launch to the impact with loaded munition. The visuals are very potent to lower the moral of the enemy nations.

I have personally seen air to air footage captured from a chase aircraft right up to the impact on target, but for some reason it's kept confidential. Even in today's test one can see the missile in mid-flight .

 

[Basel]

Distance from Islamabad to Delhi: 676 km

It will be used with way point navigation to avoid obstacles.

 

[Awan68]

Can it reach any city in India from pakistan no?

U r bieng funny right??, cause no one's this stupid..

 

[uzbi aka viper]

i think range of babur has something to do with (mtcr=missile technology control regime) as in case of brahmos.
