Pakistan test fires 4,500 km range Shaheen 1A missile

Competing with India which recently test-fired its 5,000 kn range Agni V missile, Pakistan successfully test-fired its nuclear capable Shaheen 1A ballistic missile on Wednesday morning.

The missile boasts of a range of 4,500 km which is enough to hit targets deep in the neighbouring countries. However, military officials are yet to confirm the range of the missile.

Pakistan had informed India that it is going to test fire its new Shaheen missile between April 24-29 and therefore it must stop its air traffic ahead of the missile launch and change the routes of all the commercial flights headed to Gulf countries and Africa as a precautionary measure.

Pakistan has always strived to compete with India in the arms race. Within a week of India’s nuclear test in 1998, Pakistan had also test fired its nuclear missile. Not only this, it has been testfiring its Gauri and Shaheen missiles within a short time of India’s weapon tests.

Pakistan had informed of the ballistic missile launch to India under the existing agreement between the two nations. Before test-firing its Agni V missile from Wheeler island off Odisha coast, India had also informed Pakistan about the launch.

Isn't Paksat-1R a telecommunications satellite in Geosynchronous orbit of 36,000Kms. above earth? How can it a single telecom sat help in navigation?

the recently tested missile is Shaheen 1A, with a range of 700Km

The missile test was aimed at a target at sea. The ISPR said the new design implemented "improvements in range and technical parameters". General Khalid Kidwai, the director general of the Pakistan army's Strategic Plans Division, witnessed the test, saying "the improved version of Shaheen 1A will further consolidate and strengthen Pakistan's deterrence abilities", according to the ISPR statement.

Hi, they might just indeed be. Let's think about it, Pakistan probably needs 100- 200 TELs, probably easier and much cheaper to import the chasis, and then modify the truck into a TEL. That is what NK did.

Doesn't NDC operate under NESCOM, which is the parent organization?

The main point is pakistan let the chance go by to test a long range missile ..one can give 100 excuses but the time window has passed and train was missed ..
Strategically ,psychologically a good development that pakistan is turning 180 degree on arms race with india
