So that's why the flights going to SA,UAE,Qatar were rerouted(As their routes were 910-1060km from Pakistan coast.)
But the ones going to South Africa were not diverted.

PS:I need to call the journo who told it is Shaheen 2.

 

[iioal malik]

All channels are reporting that this missile range has been updated from Shaheen-1 so the max range is 1000-1200 km.

why os pak army so secretive about every thing dont know, are they scared america and india is trying every bit just to spy on every thing related to them??

 

[SamantK]

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

4500 km means pakistan is aiming china or russia.

Any Videos?

 

[Arsalan]

750 km only pal but so far not much is revealed but news channels are saying its 750 km can anybody clarify

it is 750 Km, it is Shaheen 1!
the Alpha is for improved parameters and accuracy, not a threefold increase in range of Shaheen 1

Any Videos?

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

some media is confusing it because of earlier rumored news of Pakistan getting ready to test fire LRBM, that, was never confirmed. overall, all the links tat are quoting ISPR set the range at 750 KM, and describe the 1A designation for improvement in accuracy etc!
the ISPR release will soon com in to confirm!

I think they meant the Arabian Sea! Damn! These journalists and scientists need to study some geography before reporting the launching of missiles!

it is the media, not the scientists!
perhaps were to excited with the rumor of Pakistan getting set to launch Shaheen III and are now making up!
