Ababeel SSM - Pakistan gains MIRV technology.

[BHarwana]

MIRV capable missiles cannot be used for missile defense...well they can but it would be a waste. MIRV capability of the missile would play no part in it so might as well hit the incoming missile with a non MIRV missile...and that's essentially a BMD system.

You require a MIRV capable missile to stop a MIRV warhead as you require multiple interceptors to stop an incoming MIRV. And the interceptor carrier jacket of MIRV can be used for target detection sensors.

whats so special? I thought Pakistan has missiles which could go up to 8,000 km.

Your interceptors just got outdated need to spend billions more for just detecting the missile war-head.

MIRVs are extremely difficult to intercept by common BMD.

Both Babur 3 and this missile are at initial development stages and these missiles take years to mature.

Pakistan makes tall claims, simple as that.

Could u plz show me which "tall claim" wasn't backed up by a test?

Pak claimed Babur 3 is an SLCM capable of carrying a conventional or nuclear warhead...and backed it up with a test

Pak claimed Ababeel is a MIRV capable missile...and backed that up with a test.

So show me a "tall claim" that ISPR made and didnt back it up.

why do some countries invest so heavily into BMD, when nations could just fire a MIRV then?

what's so special is that now india has to worry about MIRVs. first, india had to worry about 1 missile coming at 1 city at the untrackable speed of mach 18 or more. now india has to worry about 1 missile coming at the untrackable speed of mach 18 while shooting at least 3 MIRVs at 3 indian cities at a speed greater than mach 18. 3 cities for the price of 1 missile while the s400s that india hasn't even received yet helplessly sits by and does nothing. frankly modi should fire doval as his every single strategy has royally backfired.

Aaj to Eid hogayee.
I still have great taste in my mouth from this test.

Can it be intercepted while it is still 1 rocket?

Pakistan just became the 5th country to posses the technology after USA Russia China and France so BMD is good for the rest of the world.

Its looking more like SLV because of multiple warheads.

yar koi is baycharay ko burnal do yar, bara takleef say tarap raha hay yeah bachoongra!

Guys just enjoy the randi roona....
No need to get into technical discussions with randiyans

I think liquid propellant will be more cost effective than solid propellant, however, I think this test is more about testing the knowledge and technology. Knowledge gained through this can be applied for any program.

This missile is for sure for multiple warheads as its mentioned that it can hit multiple targets.
for SLV liquid one is better but thats not the problem. the only issue in having own SLV is cost effective because we launch very few satellites so making one for rare use is not feasible.

 

[GumNaam]

Only within the first 5 seconds of the launch if you are lucky enough to fire a 100 s400s at just one missile and hope that 1 reaches the target. A long shot with very little chance of success.

How many coungtries have MIRVs begin with?

Only the United States, United Kingdom, Russia,France,and China AND NOW PAKISTAN.
