It looks like they are decreasing every missile's range. Shaheen 1A had more than 1000km Range. Shaheen 2 was more than 1500Km. Theres nothing to be proud of Anymore

Pakistan today has tested Hatf 4 Shaheen 1A Missile with the range of 900 KM according to ISPR

Congratulations to Pakistan.

 

[shuntmaster]

nah,its not acceptable reason because when your country can test nukes,then there is nothing to fear of usa when it comes to missiles.

Maybe it's due to environmental reasons. Long range missile burn longer, thus giving off more exhaust gases which could be toxic.
Or maybe economic reasons, becuase long range missiles need more fuel.
Or religious, becuase it could mean Mecca could come under the missile range..

Pakistan has but due to political reasons Pakistan is not testing them

then why are we lauching these old missile now and pls dont give me the missile testing reason as you and i both know why Pakistan is only testing them this time of year when india is testing its new missile. they should refrain from testing(or should i say dick measuring contest) at all if they cant test new missiles due to political pressure.

Pakistan today conducted a successful test launch of intermediate range Hatf IV (Shaheen I-A) ballistic missile which is capable of carrying nuclear and conventional warheads to a range of 900 kilometres, a statement from the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said.

‘Shaheen I-A’ missile is an upgraded version of the ‘Shaheen I’ with a longer range and is estimated to have a payload capacity of 1,000 kilograms.

The missile’s impact point was in the Arabian Sea.

The launch was witnessed by Chief of Naval Staff Admiral Muhammad Zakaullah, Director General Strategic Plans Division Lieutenant General Zubair Mahmood Hayat, Commander Army Strategic Forces Command Lieutenant General Obaid Ullah Khan, senior officers from the strategic forces and scientists and engineers of strategic organisations.

Chief of Naval Staff Admiral Muhammad Zakaullah congratulated the scientists and engineers for their dedication, professionalism and commitment towards achieving Pakistan's full spectrum credible minimum deterrence capability.

Shaheen I-A with its highly accurate and indigenously developed guidance system is amongst the most accurate missile systems.

The naval chief reiterated Pakistan’s desire for peaceful co-existence in the region. He appreciated the professional attributes of all concerned towards accomplishment of the sacred mission.

Admiral Zakaullah showed his confidence over the armed forces’ capability to safeguard the country against any aggression.

The successful test launch was also appreciated by President Mamnoon Hussain and Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif who congratulated the participating troops and the scientists and engineers.

On November 13, Pakistan had conducted a successful training launch of intermediate range Shaheen II (Hatf-VI) ballistic missile.

The recent launches come days after India announced that it had test-fired a nuclear-capable cruise missile from Balasore in Odisha state. The missile, with the name of Nirbhay, has a range of over 700 kilometres.

Again on November 9, India had announced that it had successfully test-launched long-range nuclear-capable strategic ballistic missile, Agni-II.

The test-launches of the nuclear-capable missiles come at a time when both India and Pakistan are engaged in skirmishes along the Line of Control (LoC) and the working boundary and also as India has conveyed to China that it could no longer be issued warnings by anyone saying the South Asian nation was now immensely powerful and held a prominent position on the international stage.

Interesting that naval chief who has been present and has commented

 

[narcon]

Long range Missiles would mean we have other targets in mind too other than India and we know why USA will be concerned.

If that being the reasoning, you will NEVER test them ever.
Whether or not you have one or not, is irrelevant.
