Pakistan Missile Technology

[HRK]

Well the last test was almost 5 months ago (of 4x Nasrs). Regarding halting of any tests, nothing of that sort has happened. Both old and new systems will be tested soon.

any hint .... 'SL' or SLV ...

Or maybe S3...

Just wait, you'll get your answers soon.

Allah karay ke khoda pahar aur nikla chuha na ho jai... Not one of those just improved short rangers I hope..

Any development regarding long range Shaheen-3 missile..? No news for long time

 

[Nishan_101]

Any any news about Ghauri III, IV and Vs...

Yeah they are on sale on the parchoon-ki-dukaan right next door.

Why did you said that...???

Pakistan has been developing laser isotope separation technique. That's why warhead size has reduced.

And what does an enrichment technology have to do with warhead miniturization?

Use your brain.Purer the fissile material,lesser will be needed for sustained fission and fusion. Smaller will be the required warhead size.

No. It has nothing to do with "purer" fissile material. Weapons grade is weapons grade. Our warheads are becoming smaller because we are shifting to plutonium and of course due to design refinement.

The amount required has more to do with design refinement and type of fissile material. For instance, where a uranium based warhead would require 15-20 kg fissile material, a plutonium warhead would achieve it with 4-6 kg plutonium. But as you can see that's just a small fraction of the overall weight and hence the sofistication of design is the main driving force behind warhead miniaturisation.

Another critical design enhancement is using tritium for fission boosting, it further reduces the warhead. Hence the inception of NASR class battle rage nukes.

If I am not mistaking we tested boosted fission device in 98.
