Do u think any country would wait for another country,to say oh we launched an coventional missile on u instead of Nuclear, so chill out, dude what are u smoking.
And For another it is most probably an Ws 2d kinda kinda rocket watch the video carefully those of Fatah 1 and Fatah 2 and Ws 2d test by the chinese test, the pods look the same and also the projectiles.
The difference between ballistic missile and rocket is their max altitude and warhead Size, rockets have max, altitude around 50km
It looks more of an evolution of Nasr, fired at rocket trajectory and more powerful engine.
At minimum it carries around Four of the Fatah 2's
I'm not smoking anything, please remain respectful.
Think of the Brahmos incident. But imagine a launch from Pakistan. It would make a lot of difference if it was a Ghaznavi or a Fatah. Also, imagine a world where there are NO nonnuclear options. All launches must be assumed to be nuclear. Not anymore.
The distinction between a "rocket" and "ballistic missile" is not as clear you seem to imply. Even a thrown rock follows a ballistic path. A 400 km range "rocket" is following a ballistic path. You can choose to call it artillery rocket or ballistic missile - it doesn't matter. I have no idea what you mean by a "rocket trajectory".
It is evident from the video that it is carrying two Fatah-2s. Or at least the current launcher is.
Does the unique fight trajectory ring any bells, Do u know himars grilled the so called S400. Good luck with intercepting anything at high supersonic speeds, Guided projectile change their trajectory, chinese have even done it on A300s. Fatah 1 have also fins and mostly likelt this variant does have manuverability if not why thrown in any term like uniques trajectory or hell why build a missile, that can't cope with modern defences, no one's that Nut head, Not even the fools in GHQ.
Sorry, doesn't ring any bells. Perhaps you can explain what a unique flight trajectory is.
"HIMARS grilled the so called s400". Very much doubt it. The HIMARS in Ukraine have been used to target command and supply nodes, not air defense systems. Ukraine has no need for SEADing Russian AD as they do not plan to establish air superiority over Russian territory.
The thing about taking out an air defense system is that your missile is trying to get to a region where the air defense system is most effective - that is closest to it.
Guided projectiles are about accuracy and very little about avoiding an air defense missile. If a regular warhead maneuvered enough to dodge an air defense missile, it would tumble and disintegrate. This is why hypersonic vehicles are a thing these days.
Your best bet for taking out an air defense system is a terrain-hugging cruise missile that doesn't get detected until the last moment or a hypersonic system that also delays detection by flying relatively lower than a ballstic missile but maneuvering more at very high speeds. Also you want to be deploying lots of physical and electronic countermeasures to force the system to expend its missiles and be generally confused.
Since Pakistan does not have HGVs, I would suspect that the SEAD mission would be up to H2/H4 and Ra'ads together with jamming aircraft or Ra'ads with jamming/decoy payloads. This is all super guesswork because obviously these things will be the most classified things ever.
