There is a 400-500 range difference b/w Shaheen II and III. I think it was better if it was named Shaheen-II A :mad:
I agree its Range should have been at least 3500 KM
 
There is a little diff b/w ranges of Shaheen II and III. I think it was better if the missile was designated as Shaheen- II A
 
Bro the actual test range of the missile is never shared.

The missile was tested at it's maximum range.
