How do you know? These testings are a part of constant evaluation of missiles and nothing more. Please refrain from unnecessary jingoism.It serves no purpose other then derailment of the thread.

good news of Pakistan

I see these missiles are primarily designed to attack forward airbases and might not be used for the purpose of mere destruction acting as careers of Nuclear Weapons.

Why do you need to "remind" your people about your capabilities??

Is it not already proven??

I never said about our people but one can easily feel the effects of the pinch on people who have been reminded.

Bro there is no use for a missile that can simple take traditional warheads.. Missiles are built for Nuclear warheads and thats why they are so dangerous.

But what about the southern air bases where India hoses much of its MKI jets?
I am confused whether its southern or eastern but IMO a longer range ballistic missile such as ghauri 2 or shaheen 2 will be used to take them out.
Also in a war type situation what are the chances of launching an actual ballistic missile to take out enemy bases? The reason behind my question is that India might take a conventional missile launch as a strategic nuclear launch by mistake and we end up having a nuclear exchange.

Can you be more specific sir which speculation you are talking about? The news about the test fire of the missile in on the 1st page in case you missed the report. One is shaheen and another one is ghaznavi.

Pakistan today conducted successful training launches of a Short Range Ballistic Missile Hatf III (GHAZNAVI), and a Medium Range Ballistic Missile Hatf IV (SHAHEEN 1). The two launches were conducted at the conclusion of the annual field training exercises of Army Strategic Force Command, which were aimed at testing the operational readiness of Strategic Missile Groups equipped with Ghaznavi and Shaheen Missile Systems. Both missiles can carry conventional and nuclear warheads to a range of 290 kilometers and 650 kilometers respectively.

The field launches of the ASFC were witnessed by Prime Minister Syed Yousaf Raza Gillani, Chairman Joint Chief of Staff Committee General Tariq Majid, Chief of Naval Staff Admiral Noman Bashir, Director General Strategic Plans Division, Lieutenant General Kahlid Ahmed Kidwai (Retired) and other senior military officials. Addressing the troops in the exercise area, the Prime Minister congratulated them on displaying a high standard of proficiency in handling and operating the state of the art weapon systems. He said that the nation had developed a strong nuclear deterrence capability and expected that the officers and men entrusted with the task of deterring aggression would continue to train hard and maintain professional excellence. He said that Pakistan’s Armed Forces were fully capable of safeguarding Pakistan’s security against all kinds of aggression. He assured that his Government will continue to support the strategic programme and meet all its needs. Speaking on the occasion, the Prime Minster said that there is now a need for the world to move on beyond safety and security concerns. These were laid to rest at the Nuclear Security Summit where Pakistan forcefully projected here forthright stance on the issue and the world expressed satisfaction at Pakistan’s nuclear security arrangements. The Prime minister emphasized that it is time for the world to recognize Pakistan as a dejure nuclear power with equal rights and responsibilities. He also demanded that Pakistan be given a Nuclear Supplier Group (NSG) waiver for civil nuclear energy cooperation as energy is a vital economic security need of Pakistan and nuclear energy is a clean way forward. Pakistan is capable of providing nuclear fuel cycle services, under IAEA safeguards, and this offer was also made at the Nuclear Security Summit, the Prime Minister said.

hmm well these days there is again alot of hue cry about a possible Indian surgical strike. I believe Pakistan knows it will eventually have a shown down with India, the reason why such large scale military exercises have been initiated by both countries. Rest assured my question was purely based on seeking technical information about using ballistic missiles to take out enemy installations and nothing more.
