Pakistan Missiles - Updates, News & Discussion

Pakistan should be following the Iranian script. The Rocket Force Command has to have immense strike wherewithal at its disposal to ensure that any Indian attack is paid back in an awesome QPQ+ response. And that this ability to respond has to be robust enough so that it can repeat the QPQ+ response through multiple rungs (something that Iran is displaying but it is still not at the quantum of what the US/Israel are raining down on it).

I am hoping that Pakistan is cooperating very closely with China to understand how the PLA Rocket Force command has been established and what its force projection capabilities are in the conventional sphere.
We shouldn't go down the Iranian route. We have neither the wherewithal nor the need. We need to focus on the survivability of our delivery systems. We don't even need a very high survivability rate to establish deterrence. If we can manage it and if they are effective at short and intermediate ranges, we should work on HGVs. Perhaps we should also consider using the J-35s for nuclear strikes. Ballistic missiles have very predictable trajectories.

Ground launced missiles are needed because the Air Force can't be expected to hit long-range targets deep into India which is huge, its too risky given the huge distances. It also massively frees up some burden from our small air force which can focus on more relevant tasks while Rocket Force can conduct strikes. Airframes are limited so its about assigning priority.

ALBM have also can been successfully used by Israel but again, it has air supremacy right up until Iran's borders.
 
Washington D.C. – March 19, 2026 – Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard testified before the Senate Intelligence Committee on Wednesday, identifying a group of nations posing significant nuclear threats to the United States. In her remarks, she specifically named Pakistan, Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran as countries developing advanced missile systems that could potentially reach the American homeland .

During the high-stakes hearing, Gabbard outlined the findings of the Annual Threat Assessment, warning that the collective threat from missiles capable of reaching the U.S. is projected to expand dramatically. "The intelligence community assesses that Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, and Pakistan have been researching and developing an array of novel, advanced, or traditional missile delivery systems, with nuclear and conventional payloads, that put our Homeland within range," Gabbard stated .

A significant portion of her testimony focused on the specific capabilities of these nations:

· Pakistan: Gabbard warned that Islamabad's long-range ballistic missile program "could include ICBMs with a range capable of striking the Homeland" .
· North Korea: She reiterated that Pyongyang's ICBMs are already capable of reaching U.S. soil .
· Iran: While noting that recent U.S. military operations have "severely degraded" and "obliterated" Iran's nuclear enrichment program, Gabbard cautioned that Tehran retains space launch technology that could be used to develop an ICBM before 2035, should it choose to do so .
· Russia & China: She stated that both nations are developing advanced delivery systems specifically designed to penetrate or bypass U.S. missile defenses .

The Director also projected that the total number of missiles threatening the U.S. could rise from over 3,000 today to more than 16,000 by 2035 .

The hearing was not without controversy. Gabbard faced sharp questioning from Democratic Senators, including Vice Chairman Mark Warner, who accused her of omitting a key paragraph from her opening statement about Iran's nuclear program being "obliterated" to avoid contradicting President Trump. Gabbard defended herself, stating she skipped the section due to time constraints . When pressed on the determination of "imminent threats," Gabbard asserted that this decision rests solely with the President .

Question is.. Who going to get Nobel peace price from Pakistani prime minister

This is not the first time USA has accused Pakistan of developing missiles with range of hitting USA.

Last year (2025), Pakistan's missile program was sanctioned 3 times in single year with the same claim " Pakistan is working on missiles that can reach USA"

Different Chinese, Pakistani, and Belarusian companies were part of those sanctions.


so it has been going on for some time or they are tryna do a iran on us

Biden government was very anti Pakistan and put aid and f-16 support packages conditional on our missile program. They will still be barking in Washington but Pakistani government has made a good impression on 2nd trump admin that makes me think if nothing else he’ll be more hesitant to alienate Pakistan than biden
 
They are coming after Pakistan.... Pakistan needs someone who can fight back their pressure..
Update your diaries guys
 
I dont think pakistan is working on an actual icbm capable of reaching us but that post 2023 there has been renewed intrest in achieving effective detterence with Isreal and that we are finnaly making an mrbm in same profile as original ghauri III with 3000-3500 km range to become an actual detterent against Israel compared to shaheen III which i think is more of a statement than effective detterent

This narrative is getting old now
