Ballistic ‘Space Weapon’ and Pakistan Should Be Terrified

[fitpOsitive]

Why should India test its capabilities to threaten any particular country? It is simply demonstration of capability

I also hope so.

If Pakistan is using a satellite, then it becomes pakistani satellite, even if it is made in China. For example, PRSS is Pakistani satellite bought from China


Pakistan does not have medium or intermediate range solid fuel missile. Pakistan only has liquid fuel missile in longer ranges. Solid fuel missiles have not yet been well tested and proven. In such situation, ICBM will be difficult to make as it will need solid fuel for high speed

Wrong on so many counts.

We use Chinese data from Chinese sattelites, we only have 3 of our own.

The Shaheen series is solid fueled, not liquid fueled. The Ghauri series is liquid fueled.

Do Chinese give their military satellite data to Pakistan in realtime? In return for what would Chinese give such resources?

Shaheen series is not yet full tested. Missiles like Ababeel has hardly been tested at all. One can't be sure of their accuracy without extensive tests. Only Ghauri missile is tested thoroughly so far and hence I am saying that Pakistan has liquid fuel missile only

Shaheen series is completely integrated into our military. Its nearly 20 years old. At least read the Wikipedia page if nothing else.

Your Move, Pakistan
India’s space weapon is a clear hint to Pakistan, telling Islamabad to back off. But it’s a dangerous game to play.

Pakistan has an impressive military arsenal of its own, complete with 150 nuclear warheads. Pakistan has shown little appetite for backing down in recent months, and it will likely issue another military display of its own.

Indian PM Modi maintains that his new space weapon is “a step in ensuring peace.” But right now, it only looks poised to trigger more tension in the region.

Don't worry India, we are not in SPACE!

Shaheen series is completely integrated into our military. Its nearly 20 years old. At least read the Wikipedia page if nothing else.

Only Shaheen-1 with 600km range has been tested properly. Shaheen 2 has been tested once in 2004 and then in 2014. Shaheen 3 and Ababeel have been tested only once without proper details o success or failure.

So, in longer range missiles, only liquid fuel Ghauri has been tested properly.

Shaheen 2 is also in active service.

India’s missile and space capability have and will exponentially outpace Pakistan unless rapid investments are undertaken.

Missile no. Space yes.
Need urgent investments there.

The escalating arms race between India and Pakistan reached a dangerous pinnacle on Wednesday as India deployed a ballistic space missile. Using an anti-satellite weapon dubbed ‘Mission Shakti’, India’s military forces successfully shot down a low-orbit satellite.

Indian Prime Minister Modi proudly declared his country a “space power,” becoming only the fourth country to deploy space weaponry. USA, Russia, and China are the other nations with equivalent fire power.





, India commissioned 750,000 new assault rifles and leased a nuclear submarine from Russia. The latest space weapon is a clear demonstration of military might in the escalating arms race with Pakistan.

India: A New Space Power
India’s anti-satellite weapon (A-SAT) successfully hit its target on Wednesday morning, destroying a satellite 300km in space. Speaking after the event, Prime Minister Modi said:



“India has today established its name as a space power. Our scientists used an anti-satellite missile to bring down a live satellite, 300 kilometers away in space in what is called a ‘Low Earth Orbit’.”

Modi declared it a necessary step in securing India’s national security. The timing of this launch is notable as the threat of war between India and Pakistan reaches boiling point.

India vs Pakistan: Nuclear Tensions Threaten to Trigger War
India’s weaponization of space comes after two months of military tension with Pakistan. As previously reported by CCN, India launched airstrikes on Pakistan in February in response to a suicide attack by Pakistan-based terrorist group JeM.


An arms race has since developed in tit-for-tat displays of weaponry. India readied 750,000 new assault rifles while Pakistan pointed its entire F-16 fighter jet fleet at the Indian border. Modi’s ballistic space weapon is India’s trump card in the arms race with Pakistan.

“It’s a big deal in terms of showing your capability… India has now shown its intent that it is a space power and it can use space if required for defense purposes.” – Laxman Kumar Behera, Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses.

The Weaponization of Space
The move is likely to trigger fierce debate over the ethics of space weaponry. Thus far only China, Russia, and the US have developed sufficient firepower, but India now joins the “elite space power club.”


Donald Trump has been particularly outspoken about his desire for a “Space Force,” which could take out rival satellites.

“When it comes to defending America, it is not enough to merely have an American presence in space. We must have American dominance in space.”

Your Move, Pakistan
India’s space weapon is a clear hint to Pakistan, telling Islamabad to back off. But it’s a dangerous game to play.

Pakistan has an impressive military arsenal of its own, complete with 150 nuclear warheads. Pakistan has shown little appetite for backing down in recent months, and it will likely issue another military display of its own.

Indian PM Modi maintains that his new space weapon is “a step in ensuring peace.” But right now, it only looks poised to trigger more tension in the region.

Well, every inch of Indian space is under Chinese satellite surveillance , kinda pointless to develop such a weapon. Instead make more toilets.

Missile no. Space yes.
Need urgent investments there.

Pakistan don't need such weapon. Its totally waste of money, that's what India want to involve Pakistan in weapon race to destroy remaining shattered economy.
