Pakistan Tests Upgraded Shaheen-1A Missile

[Abingdonboy]

Anything within the range of 90-100 is done on land.. Its always wise to take it to sea if the range is above 100. You cannot take a 700 km range rocket over civilian areas especially when u are testing it. I dont suppose any country has a 700km long test range.

Right it is an issue of safety mainly, the entire flightpath of the missile has to be uninhabited so as to negate the risk to human life if the missie should fall short.

Sir when you don't know about something remain quit this thing is quite old now news has been coming from really long time ago and we all know Saudi Arabia is main funder of our Nuclear Program and every one can guess why is that

See there is still no credible evidence that suggest the sale of Pakistani Missiles to KSA except a speculation in WIKI Pakistan
I am sure of one thing that neither Pakistan will be allowed by the big boy USA to sell some thing that sensitive to KSA. Nor will they entertain the Royal Family of Soudhi to go for sensitive nuclear tech as KSA is said to be the largest funder of terror cells arround the world. One step in the wrong direction by the Soudhi family and we have a nother dictatorship thrown down the drain by its own people who will be provoked by the USA

Warmly to congratulate! Pakistan's brother

TX contacted Brigadier Ateeq ur Rehman, Director PR at the ISPR. We are told that the range of the enhanced Hatf-IV (Shaheen-1A) has not been disclosed for various reasons.

When asked whether the range will be revealed later on, we were told that nothing can be said of a surety at the moment.

Congrats to all members.Still range is not confirmed.If it is long range missile with a range about r over 3000km, then radar should detect its range as Ballastic missile can be seen on radars.If Pakistan is not disclosing its range..Enemey can disclose..?

Sir who said Sale shifting of Missiles Sir and we have done many things in the past which have annoyed USA USA is not GOD sir and when it comes to Saudi Arabia Pakistan takes some extra ordinary steps and culture of Saudi Arabia is far different than other Arab States so first know than talk

Ofcourse, India has sensors, tracking stations all around the Arabian sea, our Navy would have certainly captured some info on this missile, ofcourse they wont leak out.

We should have ICBM is for deterence role as other countries have.Its not only necessary but MUST for any nuclear power state.

Could you target Isreal or Beijing with the new missile?

That's a lame argument, Pakistan is known to fire it's missiles from test sites in Jehlum to designated targets at Sonmiani Ranges outside Karachi and vice versa ......an overland distant of some 700 Miles.

Hmm very valid point, we do have massive capabilities to find this out due to our blue water navy. The navy should of also had planes in the sky to see the trajection of the missile too.

Get me and the rest of the folk with some solid evidence before you dance to your tune mate. There is a international politics that determines the course of the world, there is every one involved and no one is out of the question. Every thing is manipulated as thing happen. US does not bark at INDIA for conducting a 5000 km missile test but it condemned the same with NK and might possibly with any other nation that not fit their view and might come up with sanctions against any such capable nation and the rest of the world will just watch and do nothing about that.
And as far as the Middle East is considered, it a volatile place with religiously emotional people can be directed against any one who is out of sync with the US views.
This we can see as a live evidence in the case of Egypt, Libiya, Siriya, etc.

if you can not thing global, then its your problem not mine.

i don't think range of shaheen 1A is 4500 KM

if it is, its totally new missile(Shaheen 4 may be) and not shaheen 1A

Only mystery with this missile test is that ISPR for first time didn't revealed the range of Missile and this thing can't get into my head that why have they done it because they shouldn't have any problem if it would have less range than Shaheen 2 Missile other wise no purpose in hiding its range

Pakistan successfully tested a nuclear-capable ballistic missile on Wednesday. The launch comes less than a week after Islamabad’s main adversary India tested a long-range ballistic missile of its own.

*Pakistan’s missile Shaheen-1A was reportedly shot southward to the Indian Ocean and managed to cover some 4,000-4,500 kilometers. This is enough to target any object on Indian territory.

Pakistan notified its neighbors of plans to perform a launch a day before the event, saying the test would take place between April 24 and 29. Authorities of Oman, Yemen and India were warned to change routes of civil air flights in the direction of Africa during these dates but the actual test was performed just a day after the warning.

Indian aviation authorities expressed regret that the warning on the test launch came at the “last minute” but nevertheless all transport companies have been notified immediately.

On April 19 this year India test-launched its first long-range Agni-V intercontinental ballistic missile. With a 5,000km range it can target anywhere in China and even parts of Europe, not to mention neighboring Pakistan.

Irreconcilable neighbors India and Pakistan have conducted three full-scale wars since their split from British India in 1947 (conflicts in 1947-1948, 1965, 1971). An arms test of one country usually is followed by a similar test by the other. For example after India successfully tested its first thermonuclear warhead on 11 May 1998, Pakistan replied with a series of nuclear bomb explosions on May 28, 1998.
