Plz merge the half dozen threads going on about this test.

Nope, it just means that it can execute evasive maneuvers to avoid any incoming ABM.


No!
Since the evasive maneuvers are not reactive (meaning the system cannot detect an incoming missile and evade it 'actively'), it is rather passive in nature (meaning it executes a fixed set of maneuvers before hitting the target precisely)

That would require hell of programming .

Nasr additional booster cartridge dethatching. This was used for range extension.

My eid will be at the day when Pakistan will test its anti-missile system(for different cruise, ballistic and hypersonic).

Pakistan Enhances Range of Controversial ‘Tactical’ Nuclear Weapon

Pakistan’s military announced Wednesday that it has successfully undertaken a series of flight tests of its battlefield nuclear-capable NASR missile this week, enhancing the rocket’s flight maneuverability and extending its range to 70 kilometers from 60.

“This weapon system will augment credible deterrence against prevailing threat spectrum more effectively, including anti-missile defenses. NASR is a high precision weapon system with the ability of quick deployments,” the Pakistan army’s media wing said when it released details of the flight testing process.

The development of Pakistani tactical nuclear weapons is a source of concern for the United States because their smaller size increases the risk of a nuclear conflict with rival India, non-proliferation experts say.

Pakistani officials say that smaller weapons would deter their bigger neighbor from imposing a sudden, limited and lightning assault with conventional forces under New Delhi’s “Cold Start” doctrine.

Pakistan army Chief General Qammmar Javed Bajwa, who has witnessed the Nasr flight tests, referred to the Indian doctrine.

"Nasr has put cold water on Cold Start. War must be avoided at all costs and our strategic capability is a guarantee of peace against a highly militarized and increasingly belligerent neighbor,” the army statement quoted Bajwa as saying.

“Our [nuclear] capability is only meant to ensure, no one thinks war remains an option,” the general said.

Pakistan’s relations with India have deteriorated in recent years and military clashes along the disputed Kashmir border have lately become routine.

The disputed Himalayan region has triggered two of the three wars between India and Pakistan and it remains the primary source of regional tensions.

CONTROVERSIAL??????
What was so CONTROVERSIAL in NASR Missile???

deterrence against prevailing threat spectrum more effectively, including anti-missile defenses.


So Pakistan is Working on Anti-Missile Defence Systems as well?????

Last test of nasr. There was war head seperation or not? Video is blurry any senior would shed some light.
Video says warhead seperation so?

Nope, the missile arrives at the target as a single unit. There is no separation of warhead involved.

NASR carries both conventional and non conventional munitions. No one is asking to test it with tactical nuke, just demo something similar like this:

Well not really, but yeah got your point. Warhead explosion or the lack thereof doesn't matters for test launches.

Anti-missile defenses = prevailing threat spectrum. Pakistan is working on countering the Indian missile defenses, not the other way around.

Oh Thanks

It wasn't a test launch. Rather training launch. Would have been appropriate to use live munitions.

 

[sur]

Doesn't it look quicker than previous test in quoted video?
Unless video was played at faster rate!

[Thorough Pro]

Who are they kidding? Range increased form 60 to 70km? Why don't they tell the real range?
btw for general info this is Nasr with "enhanced" range (officially stated to be 70km, and I'll go with that for the time being), exceptional speed, maneuverability and pin point accuracy. It is fully operational and deployed. This was not a missile test, rather a training launch (check the camo scheme)

Yes it's NASR 2 Indians your COLD START GOT REALLY COLD

Ya it is really cool. It has made one country to make a doctrine to nuke its own land. When Indian force will enter Lahore, we would be glad to be nuked.
