Pakistan to Test Long Range Missile- Informs India

[Alchemy]

This may or may not be accurate news , but however i feel that Pakistan is due to test a couple of its missiles and this is a great opportunity for it to test the missile without too many international objections against it ,Since it can always say to the international community that India too did it and you dint complain about it !!!

IBN's reporting it too ..

Pakistan to launch long-range missile, informs India

New Delhi: Just days after India successfully test fired its first Inter Continental Ballistic Missile (ICBM), Agni-V, Pakistan has said that it plans to conduct a long-range missile test.

The neighbour has informed India that it plans to conduct a long-range missile test in the Indian Ocean over the next five days.

Islamabad has asked New Delhi to issue a notice to all commercial airlines to steer clear of the area.

The move by Pakistan comes just five days after India test fired Agni-V to join the elite club of ICBM nations.

Agni-V, the ICBM test fired by India five days ago, is capable of carrying nuclear warheads and will be crucial for India's defence against China. The missile can carry a pay-load of 1 tonne, is 17 m long, 2 m wide and weighs 50 tonnes. After the missile is inducted into India's strategic forces by 2014-2015, India will acquire a strong deterrent capacity against China.

Agni-V can cover entire China, Eastern Europe, North Eastern and Eastern Africa and even Australia if fired from the Nicobar Islands.

Only the permanent members of the UN Security Council - China, Russia, France, the United States and the United Kingdom - have such long distance missiles. Israel, too, is believed to posses ICBMs although there is no official confirmation of the same.

The missile has a range of 5,000 kilometres, a marked improvement over India's current missiles which can hit potential enemy targets over a distance of just 3,500 kilometres.

West wont be silent if Pakistan tests a long range missile....
U can expect sanctions soon.....
Is it me or is it the Cold Start Doctrine working fine in its way down the line?

All that media hype behind Agni V suddenly makes a lot of sense. Looks like it was a bait for Pakistan. Any economic pressure in this precarious situation will be tough for Pakistan. Interesting times ahead

 

[Peaceful Civilian]

Need more sources other than India.
If confirmed...
It should be tipu or taimur.
ShaheenIII will get range of 4500km.
Tipu will get range of 6000KM which can cover whole India.

This test will enhance the Pak capability for SLV project.

Since this missile changes nothing w.r.t to India, but seems to have the capability to target Israel, it would be fun to watch Unkil's reactions.

This thing even exists?

Yet to see Pakistani news report on the subject ....

Even IF (big if) Pakistan does conduct a 'long-range' missile test , I believe that it would be to cover whole of the Middle-East.

Cover Indian subcontinent --- done.

Cover Middle-East ---- In process

Cover whole of Europe ... abort mission !!! , I repeat ..Abort mission !!! ....

After Indian's success in lunching a ICBM Its now Pakistan's prestige issue to do so . moreover I think Pakistan's external threat is no longer evolved into its backyard but to other side of the continent too . so I think Pakistan should test its ICBM and show the world that Pakistan is capable to hit any where in the world with any thing if situation force it to to so .

Do you have issues with Pakistanis or something? While sitting safely in Bangladesh, you are asking Pakistanis to go ahead and dig their own grave in the international arena.

Wow. So you are saying the entire Indian missile program is designed around 'baiting' Pakistan?

Obsessed much?

 

[RazPaK]

Pakistan should go for it. If the west sanctions, there is no bigger favor it could do for Pakistan.

covering Israel alone will get u into loads of trouble, more than you'd wish for
Cover whole of Europe ... abort mission !!! , I repeat ..Abort mission !!! ....

You really hoping for sanctions and all that foreign aid to your country to be frozen?

Nope just the media hype, the missile program was for our Chinese brothers

Besides Pakistanis alone don't have copyright for presenting self serving bs, let us have some fun too.

It's more like we had the capability, but were biding our time.

 

[RazPaK]

With that chest-thumping attitude of yours, forget that I even asked.

With Pakistan's current political atmosphere, I personally think sanctions would help the country rather than inhibit progress.
