Oh bhai neither Iran nor Iraq would give us their territory to launch attack on Israel no?
Samething with GCC too......actually forget about GCC they will never allow us to attack Israelis.
Thats why I was asking that what is our option if Israelis hit us, how can we actually retaliate from our own soil?
Pakistan is currently revamping its nuclear capable missiles. This development explains why the United States has raised alarms regarding Islamabad's missile program, accusing Pakistan of developing increasingly sophisticated technology. Specifically, US officials point to advancements ranging from long range ballistic missile systems to equipment designed for testing significantly larger rocket motors. Why exactly is Pakistan facing accusations over testing these larger rocket motors?
When a country begins ground testing or flight testing significantly larger rocket motors for its missile systems, it is a major indicator of a shift in their military and strategic capabilities. In rocket science, a larger motor fundamentally means more thrust and a longer burn time.
In military terms, that extra power is used for a few very specific strategic goals:
- Extending the missile's range
- Increasing heavier payloads (MIRVs)
- Decoys and countermeasures: Carrying chaff, fake warheads, or electronic jammers to confuse and overwhelm an adversary's missile defense shields
- Transitioning to solid fuel technology: The missiles can sit in a silo or on a mobile truck launcher for years, ready to fire in a matter of minutes. Testing a large solid motor indicates a push toward a highly responsive, survivable second strike capability.
- Powering hypersonic weapons
- Overcoming modern missile defenses:
A larger motor can be designed to burn intensely and quickly (known as a fast burn booster). By burning out rapidly, the missile reaches its top speed while still low to the ground. This makes it incredibly difficult for space based tracking satellites and early warning radars to detect the launch heat signature in time to intercept it during its vulnerable initial launch phase.
Testing a significantly larger rocket motor is rarely just an incremental upgrade. It is a loud signal to rivals that a nation is attempting to alter the strategic balance of power, either by bringing new territories into its striking range or by making its existing arsenal much harder to stop.
It isn't hard to read between the lines. Pakistan is far from idle. Pakistan is fully aware that its strategic delivery systems require continuous modernization. While the Shaheen III remains a formidable missile system capable of neutralizing regional threats, reliance on a few platforms isn't enough. To maintain credible deterrence, Pakistan must continuously diversify and expand its missile arsenal for both conventional and nuclear purposes.
