Taimur: Pakistan's ICBM?

[Safriz]

Fitting an additional stage in existing Pakistani missiles and converting them into a longer range ICBM wont be that difficult..Plus Pakistan always had the capability of building Long range missiles,but both countries willingly didn't extend the range of their missiles so that far flung countries such as israel don't feel intimidated.

 

[Kompromat]

It will allow us to strike targets on long ranges.

I still dont get the purpose of the device. It would have been better to invest in real good SAMS.

That's something very important for the National security, not to remind you the evil ambitions that Israel has, + the coming times will be very HOSTILE to Muslims.

 

[Dalai Lama]

Hmmm... okay. Can anyone tell me what Pakistan hopes to achieve with this? I mean what other countries do you have that are hostile towards you apart from India (which is already in range).


Thanks in advance.

same as these:

Israel
■Jericho II: capable of sending a one ton nuclear payload 5,000 kilometers.[14] capable of being modified to carry one nuclear warhead that is no heavier than 500 kg over 7,800 km.[15]
■Jericho III: believed to have a range of up to 11,500 km with 1–1.3 ton payload.[16] Entered service in 2008.

surely great news for Pakistan.

The last image which shows entire Europe in the range will certainly raise some eyebrows on those part of the world.

As a Pakistani national, ofcourse it is a proud moment but as a diplomatic level not a good move.

you do not need that much range, 4000 km range is more than enough for your interest.

just a thought.

There were rumours that the recent Hatf-V test was actually a test of MIRV capability. Very interesting to see this followup report. Looks like a true ICBM program is taking shape.

These developments have to be seen in context of Pakistan being the 6th largest country in the world. We do have interests all over the world, as other large countries have argued, so developing capabilities to project some power globally is just logical. The Chinese also started with a punitive global strike capability, which gave them an umbrella under which they built a phenomenally successful state. Seems a good example to follow...

With great power comes great responsibility. Pakistani diplomacy must establish that Europe nor anyone else is threatened by Pakistan. A punitive capability of this type is intended for only one purpose, and that is to ensure that no one crosses our "red lines".

but this article is from august 2009 and the recently tested missile had a range of only1300 km???

 

[GodlessBastard]

I'll believe it when I see it.

And I probably won't be seeing anything for a while.

 

[monitor]

Good move by Pakistan .should have a option to deter any conspiracy against its interest .

 

[prototype]

India
India currently does not have any ICBM in its inventory.

■Agni V[17]
■Agni V SLBM[17]
■Surya-I
■Surya-II

Surya project is nothing more than media speculation,Indian sources had repeatedly denied its existense

There is a huge pressure on India not to test any ICBMs from various parts of the world, that's why the denials always even though the ICBM projects are on..

Obviously. And we aren't going to test one either until you do so. We will follow you. You test ICBM. We will test ICBM.
