Pakistan Missiles - Updates, News & Discussion

[TallGuy]

Some Baloch accounts are reporting that a missile booster has fallen in Balochistan Pakistan had also issued a NOTAM to test the missile, so it seems that Pakistan has tested a missile .View attachment 136471View attachment 136472

if this news in correct and if this is a booster, that means only one thing - Pakistan is testing conventional armed Quasi Ballistic missile with MaRV.

1450km - 550kg BROACH type Warhead - MACH 4-5, MaRV - CEP <30m
500km - 320Kg - BROACH type warhead - MACH 4.5, MaRV - CEP <10m

Tested a missile, or "tested the shooting down of a missile" ?

To me, feels like the latter.

Shooting of missile, new missile or ... failed test. We never know.

Yeah, this is what Pravin Swahney was saying as well, and that next time Pakistan will be prepared. I do think Pakistan has the quality of missiles to effectively pierce BMD. The quantity is another matter.

This "BMD" is a fantasy in the Indo-Pak scenario. India is massive and having an effective BMD covering everything, except a few vital points, is impossible. They know it, and we know it.
So the reality is that both sides will take very significant damage in an escalatory war with large scale SSMs/LACM/GMLRS in use (as has been the case in Ukraine).
So if the Indian side thinks that a war is worth it (they know they cannot control the escalation ladder) with all the associated damage, then they can roll the dice again. There is no scenario in which Pakistan will let India dominate us conventionally. This is the "never again" red-line for Pakistan.

Absolutely! People actually get wrong ideas from a wrong example that's Israel.

Israel is only country in planet earth with such dense missile layered defense. No other country even super powers have such thing. Israel is able to do that because of its tiny airspace. If india and Pakistan trade missiles, those missiles (majority) of these will hit targets on each other country. Brahmos struck in Pakistan and no air defense could stop those. Similarly, Fatah-1s did hit indian targets and nothing stopped those. If we have had decided to hit more targets, we could have done that but we didn't made that decision (should have had hit IMO, but that's discussion for another thread).

Pak / India or any other nation, no one can have a shield. Israel is only an exception. Yes you can have effective air-defense around a particular/strategic locations but not at the country level.

Yeah, I've mentioned this before too but we are essentially approaching a conventional form of MAD. Defence of key infrastructure would be good but it's never guaranteed really for either side because it will likely be saturated and destroyed, it generally functions more as an area-denial asset rather than a golden protection system.

This being said Pakistan will have to invest more in its conventional offensive firepower across the board to have a credible assured conventional MAD. The focus lately had been too nuclear focused.

Would definitely suggest some sort of BM launch.

What unique BM test would invite Uncle Sam to the neighbourhood?

 

[SD 10]

Why is it not announced?

Million dollar question I guess.

 

[Rational Philosopher]

Maybe it failed.

 

[Windjammer]

Not sure if this is authentic.
