Well there must be a 'minimum range' of a missile. I am assuming that for a 5000 km missile, minimum range should be around 1000 km( considering TOPOL-Ms example as its minimum range is said to be 2000 km).
It is a misunderstood concept that these ranges are fixed or variable by a little amount only. There is a minimum range as well (achieved by adopting a higher trajectory).
Yes obviously, but usually the other components (RV structure, corrections systems) are already catered for when mentioning throw weight.
It is, but it may mean that the missile was tested for lesser range (hence higher apogee).
Correct.
Yes, it could be, however the diagram showing 3xRVs is the PBV of Minuteman-III, so I think just the concept of MIRVs was being delivered, not the actual configuration. It could be 3 or more in final design of A6.
It would make sense if the RVs have more yield. I suggest that you wait for the release of information to the public after the first test of A6.
Pakistan is not capable in coming up with any response for ABMs, MIRV, canister launched missiles, ASAT, Air to Air missiles, Astra and not forget SLBMs. We have an established space program with the biggest rocket of upto 12 tonnes capacity to be launched next month. Does Pakistan have an answer to that??
MIRV bus is the mechanism to which RVs are attached, and which releases RVs at preset points in space. PBV (Post-Boost Vehicle) is the whole payload section (Housing +Correction Systems + Flight Control Computer + MIRV bus + RVs).

Pakistan has strategic parity with india and there exists a M.A.D factor between the two. And we'll like to maintain that. Once your ABM comes online, you'll see solutions from Pakistani side (MIRVed missiles, Naval Launch Cruise Missiles, and more evasive technologies in all of our missile systems)...
Pakistan, right now, can hit any and every major indian city with its Shaheen series missiles. And in future, this will stay the same.
You can mental masturbate with "oh chinese missiles, no north korean missiles etc."...it doesn't really matter. Pakistan has full capacity to produce sophisticated missile systems at house. Our NESCOM/NDC produce Shaheen series, Ra'ad ALCMs, Babur LACMs, and so on.
At the end of the day, we keep 'fingering' india in the a$$ and indians keep crying, getting agitating, and calling for "strikes" against Pakistan. But I know it, and you know it, india is just not in any position to launch any war against Pakistan.
Sino-Pak alliance has india contained in large, useless land-mass...and there's no coming out of that
Lastly, this is your "aukat" ...the holiest site in Sikhism got "banged" by hindu soldiers and you couldn't do jack. Your people still live in misery, slavery, and without a state of their own.
