Dear, did you catch the Mirage acting as the chase plane, the footage of the weapon homing in on the target must be awesome.

 

[Abu Zolfiqar]

oh yes i did; actually i thought it was a digital still-shot but then i looked a bit closer and realized stuff is moving

 

[Windjammer]

Once in the offices of ISPR, I saw the footage of Shaheen-1 striking the designated target smack in the middle, but damn I couldn't get hold of it since it didn't have the security clearance for public release.

This canister and the vertical launch of the missile are the markings of the Naval version of the Babur, this is gonna be the main weapon of the Naval Strategic Force Command for the foreseeable future.

3. And the range seems to have increased also, which again is a good thing.

how so, when it went from 700km to 600km??

Congrats for the sucessful test .But my doubt is How come there is not a single news which talks about some of the failed missile test in pakistan

That is only for Indian missiles. Pakistan missiles test and fire at 100% accuracy. Dude this is PDF, did you think you were logged on some where else.

Alhadolillah it is great job..But we still need a lot of improvement... we need it to be enhanced to the range of at least 2500-3500kmz...air launched and sub launched.I hope it be soon done in near future..

pakistan is working towards completion of the 'triad' air, land and sea with this weapons platform. stay tuned.

Army has whole set of different kinds of deployed nuclear missiles.(Cruise missiles/Ballistic Missiles of different ranges etc)
Pakistan Air Force has RA'AD ALCM which is nuclear capable.Platforms like F-16s and JF-17 thunders can also deliver nuclear strike on Enemy.
Navy is the real problem..

Our Naval Forces are lagging behind.

RAWALPINDI: Pakistan on Thursday successfully test fired indigenously developed Hatf-VII (Babur) cruise missile having a range of 600 kilometres.
Babur, which can carry strategic and conventional warheads, has stealth capabilities, is a low flying, terrain hugging missile with high manoeuvrability, pinpoint accuracy and radar avoidance features. It also incorporates the modern cruise missile technology of Terrain Contour Matching (TERCOM) and Digital Scene Matching & Area Co-relation (DSMAC).

The CJCSC while speaking on the occasion said that the test will go a long way in consolidating Pakistan’s strategic deterrence capability, and further strengthening national security. He said Pakistan’s resolve and commitment to continue its strategic programme will remain paramount.

Dear All, as mentioned earlier this was launched via a canister. I am hoping this is the preliminary step towards having a vertically launched naval version. Take care.
