Hatf IX Nasr Missile Tested by Pakistan

[Safriz]

Actually its the other way around. Its easier to intercept SRBM because they don't attain much velocity during their course. the max speed they can attain is Mach 5.

American PAC -2 has 100% interception success rate in 2003 Iraq operations against Iraqi TBMs.

scuds fall off the sky and their success rate is abyssimal...
Patriots may or may not have hit them...they may have fell down on their own...
plus scuds were medeival missiles comlred to modern day missiles.

Hopefully , one basic principle of this system is to have shoot and scoot capability.

Most short and medium range SS missiles have this capability now. The days of fixed platforms and silos are passé except for ICBMs like the Minuteman etc.

nuclear attack on indian troops,ships, carriers will considered as attack on Indian soil and will be replied accordingly.by the way congratulations.

Yes!!!! thats what we want.....try to send some troops carrying out illegal aggression against our sovereignty.....

 

[SEAL]

When we tested 60km NASR Indians had a opinion Pakistan will nuke their own forces with this missile, now range is improved yeeehee , even if its fired with DU cluster ammo or HE conventional warhead it will fry Indian IBG in battlefield.

Pakistan doing a lot in ballistic missile field....making all flavors.
but havent heard anything indigenous on air defence?
probably.in that field pakistan is more intent on modifying chinese weaponery to suit own requirements?

When it comes to defense, it actually doesn't matter who's designs you are using. All that matters is you have it and you know how to operate it. But that doesn't mean I am undermining our ability to produce missiles or defence technology but a bullet is a bullet regardless of where it is made and its going to hurt enemy regardless of their troll.

 

[ghauri05]

this miniaturization is the result of using plutonium instead of uranium. that is why indians are doing
propaganda against this new
reactor.
what is its actual speed does any body know?
Long live pakistan

 

[Don Jaguar]

What is the speed of this missile?

 

[GORKHALI]

All wrong.

Instead of using "cartoons" in your post to make it look a "heavy-blow" to Pakistani members , learn something before posting.

Nasr WILL be used to strike bulk of Indian forces on Pakistani land. Its nuclear warhead will be very , very small. It won't cause much radiation , but it will definitely take out Indian battle-groups on Pakistani soil.

If you observed the Air Force's High Mark 2010 exercises and then the largest exercise of Pakistan Army , Azam-e-Nau 3 , you'll know that Pakistani military is gearing itself to effectively counter the so called "Cold Start doctrine" of India. Tests of Nasr , Shaheen-1A , Ghaznavi etc etc are part of same link. Pakistan doesn't need long-range Strategic nuclear missiles ...In order to struck-off a full-fledged Indian conventional assault (CSD) , Pakistan needs : Advanced F-16s fully loaded with AIM-120Cs , JF-17 Thunders fully loaded with SD-10Bs , Mirages III/Vs , some serious artillery , thousands of tanks in the deserts of Sindh and plains of Punjab , Nasr , Shaheen-1A , Ghaznavi , Sub-marines , Babur cruise missiles , Ra'ads etc etc ....

You see , this is what Pakistan Army is deploying/planning to deploy/testing from last 5 years or so best of luck for your Cold-Start ......

Lo bhai fir shuru ho gaye..Let me tell you first that IBG thrusting into enemy territory is to capture some 60-80Km inside Enemy teritoory and provide Logistical support to Main Strike Corps like Mathura based I Corps,X corps and II Corps Rapid.
This doctrine requires reorganizing the Indian Army’s offensive power away from the three large strike corps into eight smaller division-sized “integrated battle groups” (IBGs)that combine mechanized infantry, artillery, and armor with full CAS by IAF and Naval Aviation.The eight battle groups would be prepared to launch multiple strikes into Pakistan along different axes of advance. There is no more Defensive Corps in Indian Army but they all are converted and follows Offensive-defensive-offensive doctrine.
And Please don't bring those R***D missile and D**la Bombs.
Here's a Tip for you - Pakistan is 1,000 miles long, but averages only 300 miles wide. With its length running parallel to India’s northwest border, Pakistan is extremely vulnerable to flanking movements or a central assault that would spilt the country in two.Pakistani cities as well as transport networks and lines of communication lie close to the international
border, compounding Pakistan’s lack of defensive depth.(Bolna mat bhai bola nahi)

The shitty thing is that the success of the very adventure will be catastrophic because we do not care whom we take with us when we are going down We have shown you our determination and capability to deter the aggressor both in '87 and '02 ... Still have some doubts ? Thus pray that your top brass possesses such wisdom not to attempt such mis-adventure ...

 

[Rafi]

Pakistani second strike capability, on Nuke Subs, will ensure if nuclear attack comes from the entity to the east, it will ensure the launch of full spectrum strategic missile launch that will remove the said entity from the face of the earth. That is not just talk, it is a promise.

how many kilograms of conventional weapon can nasr carry?

The size/weight of the conventional warhead on the NASR (or NASR-ER) is the more important question here.

Pakistan has MBRL's with ranges out to 100KM, but a 60KM/180KM missile with significantly more accuracy than a MBRL and a significantly larger conventional warhead (with the ability to penetrate reinforced structures before detonation) would be a much more useful weapon to target static Indian military infrastructure (beyond the range of artillery and MBRL strikes) during a conflict, prior to any 'red lines' being crossed.

A powerful and accurate conventional warhead would also provide Pakistan significant advantages in targeting static Afghan military infrastructure in case of conflict on our Western border, given the mountainous terrain on the border that would make it hard to rapidly deploy large numbers of mechanized and artillery formations, without having to resort to the more expensive and larger Pakistani ballistic missiles.

Some estimates, about the original NASR missile size, that I have read on the site 'Arms Control Wonk' site suggest a diameter of 500-600mm:

Pakistani Hatf-IX ‘Nasr’ seems to be uses PHL03 chassis which has also been used by the Chinese for their WS-2 Multiple Launch Rocket System. The PHL03 carries (2×3)6x WS-2 400 mm rockets.

Now if we compare this with the fact that only two Nasr missiles are carried on the same chassis. My rough estimates put the Nasr missile diameter more in range pf of 500 to 600 mm.

Now i may be wrong, but diameter of 600 mm will also make more sense as both Hatf-IB & Hatf 2A Abdali are of same diameters.

What a joke of a analysis! Are you zaid hamid version of india? Seriously, i hope your generals think the same as you do; "we will invade Pakistan and split it into two", but how??? By just sending a few tanks and apc's charging towards our border, but why do you think we have Abdalis, Babur's and NASR's for?? BTW, have fun removing thousands of anti-tank and anti-personnel mines from the border while you are making your effort in invading Pakistan .

 

[Secur]

although I expect some sense let's c

2. using a nuke on an Indian citizen be it in holululu or in Pakistan will bring out an heavy retaliation acc. to Indian nuclear doctrine, Pakistani members says about using multiple missiles on a single target to evade abm shield but by using strategic nuke on ibg ull receive the first major series of nuclear strikes from India.

Really ? So you have modified your doctrine to include " an Indian citizen " too ? Interesting !

The thing to keep in mind is that the other party possesses you-know-what too ... Whilst the use of tactical nukes on Indian invading IBG's that too on Pakistani soil is one thing , using it as a prelude to launch a full-blown strike on Pakistan will result in Mutually Assured Destruction ... So ask yourself , Are you ready to lose a billion people for a couple of IBG's ? Your understanding of the nuclear doctrine itself is flawed , Nuclear weapons are used as a last resort and somehow losing/thwarting the invading IBG's doesn't count as something which would endanger your existence ...

We are because even the slightest success ( even though the chances are rare owing to the PA preparation to deter the aggression in the first place ) of Cold Start may/can endanger the existence of Pakistan so we will of course be using the " Samson's Option " and getting ready for " use em or lose em " strategy ...
