1A this version is not an actual missile. It's a test bed.
The "actual missile " 1A looks very different.

Shaheen- 1A is nuclear-capable surface-to-surface mobile launched and solid-fueled ballistic missile.
 
Pakistan program has so much ambiguity around it... No wonder, parosi is crying al the time :P
 
1A is a test bed , not an actual in service missile.
The version of 1A in service looks very different from this 9ne which gets test fired quite frequently.
Shaheen 1A was first tested in April 2012.......well over 9 years earlier and is very much in operation, however compared to S-1....much of 1A's DATA and capabilities remain classified.

Does not this missile look different?
Focus on its warhead part.

That's the problem.
Try finding a video of 23rd March parade where the 1A was driven around.
You will see the difference.
That one has a much longer and different warhead. That's the actual operational version.

Watcj closely after 42 minute mark. Just after Babur missiles, you will see Shaheen-1A deployed version. It's very different from the one being tested.
