Rockets from Israel Military Industries (IMI) have the caliber of 306 mm, the length of 3.97 m, the launch weight of 450 kg and the warhead weight of 125 kg.

The Pakistani missile Shaheen-1 is capable of hitting targets at a distance of 750 km, while Hatf-4 is an improved version of the missile Shaheen-1 with a longer range. The range of advanced missiles, Shaheen-1A (Hatf-4) is about 3,000 km. According to the website Pakistani Defense, these missiles are highly accurate and impervious to air defense. They are designed to destroy strategic facilities, command centers and infrastructure.

At the same time, the Turkish newspaper Hurriyet reported that Azerbaijan received medium range ballistic missiles Extra of Israeli production (130 km) and long-range missiles (2,000 km) from Pakistan.

In addition, Israeli media reported on Azerbaijan’s acquisition of the Air Defense System Spider, designed to intercept medium and short-range missiles and enemy aircraft. -02D-

never trust Azeri media about weapon purchases unless they got their information from the MoD

makes sense if you wanna get some long range missiles your best bet is China,North Korea, and Pakistan. since they are not part of the MTCR.

It does make a lot of sense, but has there been anything in the Pakistani media, and how truly accurate and reliable are these Pakistani missiles?

the MoD might not want to reveal something like this - a game-changer - in the immediate future, so that's why I asked if there is such a leak in the Pakistani media.

They were also interested in JF-17 but that never lead to any sales.
 
.
I think we cannot export long range missiles .till 700km range missile we can export according to international laws i think or may be i m wrong

Azhar bhai jaan could use some effective missiles, not sure whether they are willing to spend on them but If they do, it would be good for both parties.

I am no specialist on missiles, but I thought there were strict laws in place where no country can sell or export or import missiles over like 300 KM? Is that right? Does that apply to Shaheen 1 and whatever the Azerbaijani's are interested in?

There are actually no strict laws. Everyone referring to MTCR obviously never read it. Pakistan has nothing stopping it from exporting it to anyone, aside from restrictions by component manufacturers.

They were also interested in JF-17 but that never lead to any sales.

Because JF-17 are not sold to anyone before fulfilling Pakistan's own demand. Then there is a problem with the engine - it's Russian made and required Russian agreement. Why would Russia canibalize the market by allowing Pakistan, a Muslim country penetrate its sphere of influence and get a friendly, Muslim, well-paying customer such as Azerbaijan?
 
.
Can anyone able to tell us in which missiles they are interested in? As they have a very good option of getting older SRBMs and IRBM from Russia and getting them upgraded with Russian system which would make them precision strike ones.
