This is something better than its predecessor. The hype created by Indian Media on Pakistani ICBM test was a hoax call. Indian Foreign Office should not have sent the 'Official word' on test timings to media. That information was for only Indian foreign office and related organizations.

Lets face it, Pakistan's threat environment is limited to India, it does not need a 4000km missile.. They work on the technology yes but testing now will be a mistake for them, just making sure they can hit India anywhere should be enough. Ghauri III and Shaeen III will be a complete waste if tested, even Mussharaf had asked do you want to destroy Israel

Sir Israel is potential enemy and if it gets into war with Saudi Arabia and than we will have to get involved no other option and Israel twice have tried to attack our Nuclear Sites so it is very much potential enemy of Pakistan and it is the main reason why America has never liked our Nuclear Program and now of Iran it is not America is scared of it but it is Israel which is feels the main threat

The test timings were also given to International Maritime and Civil aviation authorities,who passed this message to airlines and Shipping companies.

zarvan brother please wake up!! SAUDI will NEVER fight ISRAEL because both are american pets! and even if they fight you think uncle America will let pakistan bring its missiles to the party???

Saudi is more concerned about IRAN rather than Israel!

in OUR LIFE TIME WE WILL NEVER SEE SAUDI FIGHT THE ISRAELIS!! NOR WILL WE SEE PAKISTANIS EVER EVEN FUELING A MISSILE TO BE FIRED AT TEL AVIV! israel is an arab concern just like india is our concern and not an arab concern!

ok lets wait and see if no missile test then this was it i said some while ago that revealing any longer range missile that would bring sanctions would be troublesome so pakistan should mostly work on accuracy and tech of those missiles. still was hoping for shaheen 3 well lets see what will happen we still have 4 days to go

Why should Pakistan fight for KSA?

The test timings were also given to International Maritime and Civil aviation authorities,who passed this message to airlines and Shipping companies.

The Message isn't the first of its kind. Both India and Pakistan give such possible test brackets to each other. It is necessary (and safe) for both sides to relay it to related organizations (that include airlines, Defence forces, Maritime etc.). What isn't acceptable to release such information in Media.

Last but not the least, such message never contains information about "Missile test", rather it contains information about not using sea/air route of specified area between given dates. Its the Indian media that speculated things and created a big thing out of this.

Some reports are saying 700km, others are saying 4,000kms, what's the real range?

it looks to tiny be 4000km range, most likely 750km

But we do have to thank Indian media to make such a BIIIG thing out of our Little missile

An extract from DAWN NEWS

Shaheen 1 is estimated to have a payload capacity of 1,000 kilograms and a range of 750 kilometres. The exact range of the missile was not revealed, but retired General Talat Masood, a defence analyst, told AFP intermediate range ballistic missiles could reach targets up to 2,500 to 3,000 kilometres away, which would put almost all of India within reach.

That means Izzzraeeel is covered too

 

[Windjammer]

waiting for that too somebody tell windjammer to contact that DGISI and ask him to tell you the damn range of the missile since many people in the internet are dying to know

Don't you think i tried, but he is in a meeting with mobile switched off.

The point worth noting is that Shaheen-1 has a range of some 700 KMs, if the missile launched today was of similar range, what was the need to fire it towards the sea. !!

Yeh true, India media is much bigger then Pakistan media.

So I guess in any big defence news in India, will shock shockwaves across the world.
