WASHINGTON (Web Desk) – While India is shifting to cold war doctrine at great speed Pakistan has also developed short-range missiles to deter any possible Indian aggression. A report of United States based Think Tank which has been titled as ‘Pakistani nuclear forces 2015′ has claimed that Pakistan is developing two new cruise missiles, the ground-launched Babur (Hatf-7) and the air-launched Ra’ad (Hatf-8).

The report also disclosed that World’s only Muslim atomic power is also busy in developing a sea-based nuclear capability, referring to a submarine that could carry nuclear warheads.

“Pakistan currently has six types of operational nuclear-capable ballistic missiles, adding at least two more are under development – the short-range Shaheen-1A and medium-range Shaheen-3,” it added.

The report authored by Hans M Kristensen and Robert S Norris further said that Pakistan expected to become the fifth largest nuclear weapons holder by the end of 2015.

“In 2011 Pakistan had estimated 90 to 110 warheads which rose to 110 to 130 warheads by the end of 2013. If the country keeps going with the same momentum it will have around 220 to 230 warheads in 2025.”

The report however concluded that Pakistan’s growing nuclear strength depends on a number of factors including the economy of the country which expected to witness a boom following the construction of historic China-Pakistan Economic Corridor.

Carrying nuclear warhead does make the submarine a nuclear submarine, for that you need nuclear propulsion.

Please use pictures of our own missiles, they look much better for that matter.

Ohhh thanx, your pearls of wisdom are the eye opener for us here supposedly not knowing that we need nuclear propulsion for our upcoming project..!!!

 

[Dr Shaheryar]

Nuclear launch capability is the main point. Why waste on nuclear propulsion when we don't need extra ordinary mileage.

We don't need to go on long adventures.

Read first sentence of the article..

 

[Ghazwa e Hind]

already done! and we already had these cruise missiles before the publishing of this article!

I am done with these journalists. Many Pakistani news channels broadcasted a news that India will be second country to produce F-16 after US. Our men in media are unaware of many facts. Kindly give me a job

I was wondering the same that it has been years since Pakistan has developed a new missile. What are engineers working over after developing Babur, Raa'd and Nasr.

There was a news about land attack anti-ship missile.. but it stopped there.

 

[Muhammad Omar]

Already done

That's Ra'ad

That's Babur

We don't need nuclear proplulsion submarine, We only need the type of Submarine that can deliver our CUTE NuclearBOMB to our pampered enemy successfully.
