Pakistan likely to have another Ballistic Missile test

He is talking about delay in announcement by giving Babur-3 announcement as an example.


578 altitude means Shaheen III or Ababeel II.

Flight phases
The following flight phases can be distinguished:

  • boost phase: 3 to 5 minutes; it is shorter for a solid-fuel rocket than for a liquid-propellant rocket; depending on the trajectory chosen, typical burnout speed is 4 km/s (2.5 mi/s), up to 7.8 km/s (4.8 mi/s); altitude at the end of this phase is typically 150 to 400 km (93 to 249 mi).
  • midcourse phase: approx. 25 minutes—sub-orbital spaceflight with a flightpath being a part of an ellipse with a vertical major axis; the apogee (halfway through the midcourse phase) is at an altitude of approximately 1,200 km (750 mi); the semi-major axis is between 3,186 and 6,372 km (1,980 and 3,959 mi); the projection of the flightpath on the Earth's surface is close to a great circle, slightly displaced due to earth rotation during the time of flight; the missile may release several independent warheads and penetration aids, such as metallic-coated balloons, aluminum chaff, and full-scale warhead decoys.
  • reentry/terminal phase (starting at an altitude of 100 km, 62 mi): 2 minutes – impact is at a speed of up to 7 km/s (4.3 mi/s) (for early ICBMs less than 1 km/s (0.62 mi/s)); see also maneuverable reentry vehicle.
ICBMs usually use the trajectory which optimizes range for a given amount of payload (the minimum-energy trajectory); an alternative is a depressed trajectory, which allows less payload, shorter flight time, and has a much lower apogee.


If ICBM of 6000 Kms achieve flight altitude of 1200 Km then safe to assume the missile we are going to fire not more than 3000Kms.
That warning was for the second test of Shaheen-3.
Shaheen-3 first test was for 692Km altitude. Second test was for a lower altitude but same ranges.

Must be Shaheen III. Don't think Ababeel II would be tested anytime soon.
 
Im still conscious to know about shaheen 1A.. I think its MRV not MIRV or a AShBM? :big_boss:
 
ISPR walon ,,, hamary sabar ka itna imtehan mat loo ... Hmn party kerni ha ... I have purchased stocks of burnol in anticipation of expected high demand for export ... :chilli::chilli::chilli::chilli:
