Pakistan Successfully Tested Babur 3 Cruise Missile launch from Submarine : ISPR

[YeBeWarned]

F***** hillarious.


Their whole media is going apes over some random tweet by some khathri!! Have we got some response from their establishment or they are still in state of shock?

Still in Denial Mode.. asking common Civilians who have not even seen a Sub in real life about what they think about the Test is Hilarious and their desperation level ..

Even there prithvi missile scientist claiming a missile can't be fired horizontally but only vertically from a submarine.... A big question on there so called scientists credibility

 

[Incog_nito]

I think Pakistan had the capability since they gained this capability with Agosta-70s and even they upgraded the Daphane class submarines to launch Exocet - Harpoon missiles from them. So, launching a nuclear or conventional capable cruise missile is not very difficult for them...

Interesting points.

Your well reasoned arguments shall be noted.

The difference between the fuel cells.


Missile tests are recorded via high speed HD cameras - 2,000~ 3,000 frames or more per second. That footage is classified, and only a few get to see.

This is why in press releases sometimes old images are recycled, because new ones in low rez are not available.

Most militaries release that footage. Pakistan military is far from creating "super high tech classified above top secret" weapon.
Russia releases videos. Even the US releases high quality videos of it's Tomahawk and many other non classified weapons they test. Babur is just like Tomahawk, it shouldn't be an issue.

Why we need to take france in confidence its our subs we paid for it we dont owe any explanation to them

That's not how things work. Modifying an equipment without OEM's approval can void the warranty. In this case, it could force France to stop giving us spares for subs which would turn these subs into tin can within months.

Bhai i cant see the video. Koi or link

By the way why is the range reduced?

Subsonic cruise missiles use turbo fan jet engine but the fuel is not the normal jet fuel. Instead a specially formulated synthetic fuel with much higher heat content than the normal jet fuel is burnt. There is also usually solid fuel booster.

Range is directly related to the amount of fuel the missile can carry, heat content of the fuel and weight of the missile with the warhead. If for some reason space for fuel is reduced or total weight of the fully loaded missile is increased without additional fuel; range will be reduced.

P.S.

Supersonic & hyper sonic missiles such as Brahmos, require liquid fuel ram-jet power plant. Anyone interested in high energy fuels for the missiles, the link is:

That (In red) is what is wrong with this guy (|AQ Khan), there must be no "I", "ME" and "MY" in working for the country. Our political leadership played very maturely and instead of putting all the eggs in one basket, they built two separate institutions, created two teams, funded two different approaches/technologies to create healthy competition and have a second option if one doesn't work.

There (in blue) is nothing to be proud of or a reason to look down upon the other team. They were doing their job for the motherland just like he was doing his job for the country. The people who martyred there, were silent soldiers, sons of this land, who gave their lives researching, experimenting with technology that we are so proud of today. The ground work they did, the technology that they developed then, has evolved and become very advanced today and guarantees the liberty and freedom for our future generations.

AQ Khan in one of his Op-Ed's said that His rivals planned to launch Shaheen missile at the day Ghauri was to be test fired. ( I might have mixed up the details. It was 98). In the morning of test, he got the news about disaster occuring at Shaheen Test launch where missile exploded on launch pad and killing several people on site

Honestly, the issue with Pakistan is that our state owned media entities - PTV and ISPR included - haven't replaced their cameras since Musharraf took over in 1999. Literally. Look at the footage of the Pakistan Day parades, you can't even see the aerial displays or flybys. God knows, but I bet the Babur test was filmed from some guy's iPhone or a digital camera lying around in some PN boat. This is the problem. Pakistan's media relations and communications effort is bad.

did US released any hi-res video of its HTV-2 tests!? I saw there's only one video showing a tiny thing fired from a B-52 bomber

Pakistan Reveals Test of Submarine-Launched Missile

This is likely to be fully utilized onboard the forthcoming air-independent propulsion-equipped Hangor-class submarines designed by and co-produced with China.

South Korea Hyunmoo-3 cruise missile test-launched from a submarine


Just to have an idea if a closeup and clear video was recorded when missile cameout, what would it had been looked like

in the video released by ispr, you can see a splash in the water at the very beginning around 00:02. That must have been the canister.

This missile 'if real', is a rather easy target for the Akash SAM, Spyder SAM etc, good luck getting through such defenses

It's not real so you can go back into hibernation, however, when you do launch any of your so called real fire crackers, make sure to wear your reading glasses as well.
