Can we please dump the IDEAS plaque pictures of Pakistani missiles here?
So that we can compare the specs in the news and the specs posted in those exhibitions?

For example the IDEAS Plaque posted here for babur says "targeting capability".

The long journey from an artillery rocket to multiple stage nuclear ballistic missiles.

The improvement of Pakistani missile TELs from simple articulated towed road mobile trailer to fully off road capable rigid multiple powered axle vehicles. Also part of Pakistan's land based second strike capability.

Pakistan's Shaheen series saw many improvements over Ghauri series. One of the most important improvement was sideways rocket motors.

Ghuri was Pakistan's first nuclear deterrent capable of striking deep inside India. Here seen in different configurations.

These two pica show what seems to be Warhead numbers as WH-5 and WH-11.
Any idea what is this? Speculations also welcome.

1. At least 5 Shaheen 2 warheads and at least 11 Shaheen 1 warheads have been produced. No idea if these are only research warheads or not.

2. The Shaheen 2 warhead is missing stabilizing fins near the base of the warhead. The fins seem to be near the base of the second stage.

3. The Shaheen 2 warhead seems thinner and longer. The change in mass distribution seems to suggest the warhead will follow a more vertical trajectory when free falling under gravity since the centre of mass is lower and it will tend to pivot around the centre of mass.
 
My understanding is that liquid fueled Ghauri series may have been retired and replaced by solid fuel Shaheen series.

Ghauri is not being produced anymore but not retired either. warheads and TEL designed for Ghauri only work on that missile and not feasible to decommission all that.

With the added capability of hitting targets at sea, Babur-II becomes Pakistan's longest range anti ship missile with 700Km range
