Pakistan Missiles - Updates, News & Discussion

[Panzerkiel]

There was not single video released by ISPR of F2 launch the tally guy said hisar airport there is no way ur Targeting Delhi with 400km range missiles unless your literally on the border.
I still believe there were no F2 launches. We would have at least seen a video of Launch from ISPR.
@Panzerkiel were there any F2 used?.

You are right. No F2 was used.

 

[Maarkhoor]

You are right. No F2 was used.

I heard few were used. May just rumors.

Is F 2 hypersonic?

Is F 2 hypersonic?

Iirc @JamD calculated it reached mach 2+ in terminal stage but definitely not hypersonic

May be but Jam D or etc are not the recognize authorities in the field.

On April 16, 2026, the Pakistan Navy successfully conducted a live weapon firing of an indigenously developed ship-launched anti-ship missile. The test, witnessed by Chief of Naval Staff Admiral Naveed Ashraf and senior scientists, demonstrated the missile's ability to engage targets at an extended range with high speed and precision.

Key Missile Capabilities
The tested weapon system represents a significant step in Pakistan’s defense self-reliance, integrating the following features:

• Precision and Lethality: Accurately engaged a target at an undisclosed "extended range" during the firing.
• Advanced Guidance: Equipped with a cutting-edge guidance system and advanced maneuverability, allowing it to evade enemy threats and adapt to dynamic maritime conditions.
• Strategic Deterrence: According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the test underscores Pakistan's commitment to maintaining credible sea-based deterrence and ensuring regional maritime security.

Context of Recent Developments
This latest test follows several major milestones in Pakistan's naval and missile modernization efforts:

• SMASH Anti-Ship Ballistic Missile (ASBM): Earlier, on November 25, 2025, Pakistan successfully tested the SMASH (also referred to as P282), a hypersonic-capable ship-launched ballistic missile with a range of approximately 350 km.
• Babur Cruise Missile Series: Pakistan continues to refine its Babur cruise missile family, including the Harbah (a non-nuclear anti-ship variant) and the Babur-1B, which has an enhanced range of over 900 km.
• Taimoor ALCM: On January 3, 2026, the Pakistan Air Force also tested the Taimoor, an air-launched cruise missile capable of hitting sea targets from up to 600 km.

The Indians were humiliated both in 2019 and 2025
And a humiliated enemy is dangerous
They will and are stocking up on missiles they can fire from range to hurt us
No A.D is sufficient to stop every missile again recent conflicts prove this

We need numbers backed by cheap systems and drones that we can mass produce in the hundreds and thousands

The one thing that I realized from Iran USA conflict is that the Indian forces habe the capacity (funds) to overwhelm all of our defences. So the thing that we can do is improve our resilience, the ability to gathering oir strength and keep fight back despite getting damage at our side. Stockpiling and underground based will help in this regard. Submarine force is another key thing. Something like in this line.

 

[Princeps]

It has a active radar homing seeker so yes.


Larger Notam area and they mentioned "extended range" in the press release.

To utilize the extra range they would need guidance from Sea sultans or Sea eagles.

"engage targets at extended range" is usual military jargon, it doesn't really confirm the range has increased

Just like Iran in an event of an all out war, Pakistan will have to be resilient enough to take punches yet use its lethal weapons to its maximum effectiveness against the enemy. We will have stockpile constraints, so we will have to conserve and select our targets carefully. The problem is that Pakistan does not have the strategic depth in terms of geography which countries like Iran have.

Yes , it would really help in keeping stocks in good number..PN should deffo go for the land batteries but some things would be tricky..

@Oscar Hypothetically , if the PN goes for the land based batteries then how will its arm differ from the ARFC the PA built? Side winder said there were talks of PAF getting its own vectors then wouldn't it cause confusion??? like lack of synergy?? My 6 can be you 9 scenario? We probably dont have that kind of co ordination to share details and thing quickly with the other force so how this will work out? A poor tactical decision by one command can slow down , disorient or even damage the others action or the plan that was going be implemented...i have so many questions regarding thisss

The biggest problem with shared assets is who gets priority both in terms of functionality and deployment/employment.

PA target needs differ from PAFs which differ from PN.
Then, each force commander(s) will have various targeting needs that might cause prioritization conflicts.

By having a shared pool in AFRC but also dedicated assets means you have resources that can be allocated by forces to their specific needs for flexibility but the also have the common pool for focused joint decisions.
It gives commanders more flexibility while also helping joint operations be less at constrained by resource “borrowing”.

 

[Falcon26]

I don't why the PA is such a care free arm, PAF has hit it's targets, PN is taking it seriously whilst PA, it just keeps do it once forget about it till next war

The PA doesn’t have to work as hard. They have the “maturity and restraint” doctrine to fallback to.

Has Babur 1B cruise missiles been officially declared at 900km range? I thought the longest range of the Babur series was 700km.

 

[Bratva]

You are right. No F2 was used.

DGISPR sahab at 18:55 disagrees with you about F-2 use. Either he is misinformed or you're downplaying the F-2 usage.

You're trying too hard. Let's dial it down a bit. Fatah-2 was launched. Pakistan didnot disclose it's launch. It got intercepted. DGISPR clearly admitted it's usage ( see my post above) F-2 was used.

 

[Blain2]

I don't why the PA is such a care free arm, PAF has hit it's targets, PN is taking it seriously whilst PA, it just keeps do it once forget about it till next war

Frankly, army conducts the most rigorous firing of all three services.

I am a witness to this.

Every single weapon in the army inventory and the variety of ammunition used with these systems is fired extensively and recorded for various parameters. Tanks, Artillery, SAMs, AAD, small arms (and now increasingly guided rockets and tactical/strategic missiles) have been and are being tested. Perhaps we see less of the SSMs being fired and that is because most of these systems have been fired and operationalized with ASF and now only require incremental enhancements. Second, it seems Pakistan has not had the need to test these systems frequently.

PN is introducing a new capability to its fleet for the very first time (ballistic AShM) so it will require more testing.

Hmm, it seems DGISPR is not saying that F-2 was intercepted. He is saying "kiya woh kuch karsakay thay?" meaning he is asking rhetorically "were they able to stop our GMLRS (F-1/2)? No".
