Pakistan to test fire a medium range missile?

[Peaceful Civilian]

I think 2 separate tests. One is Shaheen III (3500Km) and other naval version Babur cruise missile 1500Km Range.

Just start from Page 1. You will get your answer

Why not turn up at the party with towel wrapped below the waist to ask 'who stole my underwear?'

Is Pakistan test firing a long range Ballistic Missile? Today?

Around 4000 Km , Pakistan Navy has cordoned off a very large oceanic area for a missile test. No ship or air craft should enter the areas on 7th and 8th November until 2pm Pakistan time. The Pakistan navy's international navigation warning message gives two separate sets of coordinated in the Indian Ocean. Both areas are Rectangular in shape and 2300 KM apart.

If a straight line is drawn between the two rectangular areas it follows a south west route,or the general orientation of Pakistan itself.

Most missiles are fired from Northern or central Punjab,and if the distance is calculated from Northern Punjab and second rectangular area, the supposed missile fired can easily be of a 3700-4000 KM range.

First Cordoned off Rectangular area is 230 KM off the coast of Karachi looks like the drop zone of First or second stage of the Ballistic Missile.

Second cordoned off area further down south is the Target area where the warhead(s) will fall.

If fired from the usual location,northern Punjab,then the missile could easily be a three stage Ballistic missile with the first stage falling in the deserts of Sindh.

Another impotant clue in the Pakistan Navy warning message is the altitude of safety zone which is mentioned as 692 Km. Only long range ballistic missiles rise to such altitudes. Pakistan's Shaheen 2 has a maximum altitude of 350 Km,so by comparison this alleged missiles has much longer range than Shaheen-2.

For now this is an analysis based on an official Pakistan Navy NAVTEX warning. Tomorrow we may have some good news,or the test may remain undeclared.

Oh bhai Horus is a myth. It was the deity of war among other things and supposedly saw everything. If you mix them together you will have 'Battlespace Situational Awareness', which is why i have this user ID. Capiche?

Do you believe that we will test shaheen IV before shaheen III looking the map, closures & expected range?
3500KM + 1500KM = 5000Km. For targets, 3000km + 1000km = 4000km. (Two Separate targets 3K and 1k, "Combined range" for speculation)

The impact point is beyond Madagascar. Look at the original tweet that started the whole discussion.

What is the distance between somniani and southern tip of madagascar?

So you are basically saying, if this test goes forward it will be 4500 ~ 5000 Km range?

If the notified impact zone is south of Madagascar, then yes, that's what it would mean.

No,
The distance between first Cordoned off area and the second cordoned off area is 2300 KM.

If this is what we think it is then gents and ladies we have cemented our position as a regional power.

Just checked the coordinates in the official notification. It has just 2 impact points the second one being around ~2800 km(near horn of Africa, Somali coastline) from somiani. I don't know why the tweet from that fellow showed a third impact point south of Madagascar.

 

[Asian.Century]

No,
The distance between first Cordoned off area and the second cordoned off area is 2300 KM.

Yes. that actually means, first cordon off, is first drop off of the tank / missile first stage completion and the second cordoned means the warhead impact, target hit....and that total distance between first and second is 2300 km. But then, you also need to add the distance where the missile is fired off from, Northern/Central Punjab. So from launch site Northern/Central Punjab to first cordoned off area and it will be around 4500 - 5000 km total launch to final target . in it?
