Cruise Missile Hatf-VIII (RAAD) successful test fire

[Safriz]

^^ cruise are used for highly defended high value targets,such as radar stations. Not for the whole army.

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

how many baBUR AND RAAD WE HAVE

 

[TOPGUN]

Awsome news... mashallah congrats to Pakistan armed forces and to all Pakistani members here GOD bless Pakistan

 

[Luftwaffe]

There is no limit to the production of Pakistan's cruise missiles. They are handy assets for a quick rapid action.

Last month USA and NATO fired 170 Tomahawks at Libyan targets within the period of 3 days, so against Indian military which is 3 times bigger as compared to Pak military we need 80 Baburs and 50 Ra'ad per day overall 3000( Ra'ad+Babur).

USA and NATO fired conventional cruise missiles. In order to counter India's BMD Pakistan will use nuclear tipped cruise missiles. 100 is a huge number. Pakistan surely does not want to destroy the whole planet. One or two are enough for 1st use.

I must also add that nuclear weapons are the weapons of last resort. Their primary role is to deter the adversary. Nuclear weapons fulfill their purpose if they prevent war.

I was talking about Babur with conventional warhead.

Does anyone know if Pakistan has any plans to use this new RAAD cruise missile onto a surface ship and/or submarine launch?

No, as this has been made specifically for air launch mode. For surface ships and submarines a variant of Babur CM would be used.

Ra'ad will only be air launched.

 

[Pak_Sher]

Great news for PAF, but we should work towards enhancing the range of the missile to 500+ kms. That will provide PAF with greater stike depth and capability. PA, PN and PAF should have the capability to strike the enemies in every corner.

 

[Water Car Engineer]

LOL These normal reports can't tell the difference between a cruise missile and ballistic missile . Anyway the video footage is awesome.I think its first time PAF has released such a clear and high quality video of a missile test.Imagine if we launch 50+ of these at enemy bases.They will be devastated.

If that happens, Pakistan isn't going to leave the fight unscathed...

 

[Rafi]

If that happens, Pakistan isn't going to leave the fight unscathed...

Stand off weapons are the way forward, this will be the result, pin point precision strikes from hundreds of km away.

 

[Abdu Samad]

You would want to waste a nuclear strike on a carrier??

Do u think that price of an aircraft carriers in sea is just 10 dollar? Know that Prices of carriers is in several billion dollars and prices of two Ra'ad will not exceed over a million. It is the most feasible use of Ra'ad

If the aircraft carrier is to be destroyed,our Nuclear Harpoon launched from a submarine can do it better than Ra'ad...
