@Windjammer
Bhai SIII ka koi new video aya and pictures

Check the last page, pictures and video, all there.
@The Deterrent, something about low trajectory.

Depressed Trajectory to increase speed and less time to reach target, a way to avoid ABM but @The Deterrent bhai not convinced. Because of depressed trajectory that we are using missiles ranges reduced.

Depressed trajectory[edit]
Throw-weight is normally calculated using an optimal ballistic trajectory from one point on the surface of the Earth to another. An optimal trajectory maximizes the total payload (throw-weight) using the available impulse of the missile. By reducing the payload weight, different trajectories can be selected which either extends the nominal range, or decreases the total time in flight. A depressed trajectory is a non-optimal, lower and flatter trajectory which takes less time between launch and impact, but with a lower throw-weight. The primary reasons to choose a depressed trajectory are either to evade anti-ballistic missile systems by reducing the time available to shoot down the attacking vehicle (especially during the vulnerable burn-phase against space-based ABM systems), or in a nuclear first-strike scenario.[5] An alternate, non-military, purpose for a depressed trajectory is in conjunction with the space plane concept with use of air-breathing engines, which requires the ballistic missile to remain sufficiently low inside the atmosphere for air-breathing engines to function.

But wait for @sharma1111 to come along and tell you how Shaheen-1A was imported by Pakistan from China and how Pakistan can't even produce steel pipes, let alone ballistic missiles

Technical Trolling

 

[manojb]

Both last launch's impact point was Arabian sea. It is regularly so or there is something more to it?

After Dadu incident, they are firing at sea. Smart move.

 

[Kompromat]

It was a liquid fuel Ghauri and it was also headed into the Arabian Sea

Just saw this thread.
Missile Just Shot Down Over Karachi
I think emirates airline did not read NOtam or?

 

[xyxmt]

That explains the blast sound over Karachi airport @tahir195

Congratulations! Shaheen-1A is a sophisticated weapon system that can precisely deliver nuclear strike to major enemy cities like Delhi, and Mumbai etc.

But wait for @sharma1111 to come along and tell you how Shaheen-1A was imported by Pakistan from China and how Pakistan can't even produce steel pipes, let alone ballistic missiles

Shaheen-III and Shaheen-1A tested in last week. Interesting. Both missiles incorporate newer technologies and both weapon-systems are being tested by Pakistan's strategic institutions while indians keep crying "NO!!!! Pakistan SUCKS!!! This missile is CHINESE!!!!! UGHHHHH!!!!!"

he is right we use bamboos for our missiles

 

[rockstar08]

900 KM lets goooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[The Deterrent]

If you are thinking something else kindly let me know must be interesting to read.

Can anyone let me know how many missiles we have ? any idea.
@Windjammer @The Deterrent

Hanji yehi koi 6 darjan hon gay.

J/K, nobody really knows.

Usual stuff, nothing new about it.

Sarkaar, depressed trajectory is useful for ICBM-class missiles, and specially for nations having greater distances between them such as US &China/Russia. In case of Pakistan, India is literally next door and any launch of ballistic missile will be detected as soon as it appears over the horizon, no matter how depressed trajectory it has.
In our scenario, only Iskander-type hypersonic quasi-ballistic missiles will be useful in reducing detection time and evading ABMs.

After Dadu incident, they are firing at sea. Smart move.

BS, only Ghauris are tested over land. The entire Shaheen series has been tested (except one or two operational exercises) over the waters.

It was a liquid fuel Ghauri and it was also headed into the Arabian Sea

Not really, it was headed to soutnern Sindh-Balochistan region.

Do you have any Info over :

#1. Development of Shaheen III , and its relation with Shaheen II ?
#2. Anti ABM Features of Shaheen III

 

[Zarvan]

It was a liquid fuel Ghauri and it was also headed into the Arabian Sea

What happened at Dadu ?

 

[Maarkhoor]

What happened at Dadu ?

Warhead separated and rest of the spent stag fell on ground, most of the times falling from high altitudes pieces of missile disintegrate.

#2. Anti ABM Features of Shaheen III

1. Consider it an upgrade, sort of what Agni-4 is to Agni-2.
2. None known at this point. If any, possibilities would include mid-course maneuvering or chaff.

 

[JonAsad]

Wow 900KM thats a great technological leap for and milestone for Pakistani missile systems-
Heartiest congratulations to all involved...

You didnt get me. .Do you have the Details of #1 ?

Btw.. for the sake of facts... Agni 4 is More related to Agni 5 rather Agni II.
Agni 4 was a Pure new Research with Highly reduced Weight.

Agni I and II are now Obsolete and Referred as "Vintage". Agni III has 2 Versions , the second being half the weight of the original design.
