Hatf-IX - Tactical Multi-Tube Ballistic Missile

[farhan_9909]

Suffice to say the new system could be deployed in the same profile as say the patriot, albeit with completely different roles.

is it the same NASR?
in the video their are two tubes and in this pic 4?

this is the new trend in nuclear warfar. Instead of exploding a big megton size nuke,the ne idea is to deploy mini nukes of 10 or less kiotons. Those are safe from 60km,and can do lot more damage than one big nuke whos most part of energy is lost in digging crater and throwing up debri.

This is an Old trend, there are many Nuke tipped rocket artilleries available...But such developments are always a symbol of conventional deterrence

What will happen to our Previous Short range Ballistic Missiles? Abdali, Ghaznavi, Hatf-1? Weren't they suffice that we have to develop another SRBM?

Arent those 100 plus km in range? And a bit bulky? Plus no multiaunch option?

Than what is the use of Hatf-1 and Abdali short range ballistic missiles?

Its the yield as well as the logistical challenges of moving the above around in a highly fluid battlefield. For Shoot and scoot purposes, this system is better.

A PAC-2 SAM. The post even says so!

[Dazzler]

I stand corrected, its 2 tubes not four.

 

[ChineseTiger1986]

The range needs to be increasing to more than 400km in the future.

This is perfectly correct.

The long range missile are very big, slow moving and take a lot of time for prep and loading.

this missile will help Pakistan in two ways:

1. We can have a lot more nuclear deterrence "on the prowl" around the battlefield.
2. It Signals that Pakistan's doctrine of low yield weapons finally has had finishing touches.

The long range missile will stay for deep penetrative strike.
The short range low yield missiles will help to cope up the numerical advantage of the enemy, as well as allow minimum collateral damage.

In a subcontinent/ Middle east theater of operations where terrain is more or less flat, and spotted with continuous population this will be an excellent weapon and great strategy.

We have that range segment filled in already albeit with a different missile system and technology.

so it a 2 tube ,2 missiles on a Truck...with a 60Km range...which can carry nuclear war head right????

It is not a ballistic missile,coz it doesn't leave the atmosphere....

If you think Demo will be the same as production, then yes you are right.

Brace your self.
