Before posting so many remarks about this story has anyone thought about its logic.
I think the 7000Km missile story is a hoax, as Pakistan does not need such a long range missile for the time being or may be in future too.
Has anyone studied a missile program ?? specially pakistan's ??
Missiles are made one step at a time. The farthest missile that PA is Shaheen & Ghuri, whose tested variants have a range of at the most 2500KM to 3500KM.
And if you look at the Hatf series of Pakistan ballistic missiles, they are developed in stages, one step at a time. Ghauri-I had a range of 1500KM, then came Ghauri-II with a 2000+KM range, Shaheen-1 had 750KM range, then came Shaheen-II 2500+ KM range.
So if we have an approx 3000+KM or 2500+KM range missile, logically we should be going for a 4000+ or 4500+ range missiles, not a double leap to 7000+KM range missile. Our missile program is a testament to the step by step approach, rather all developers adopt this tactic.
As we know our newspaper & media, they tend to exaggerate the original story, to make it more spicy.
I see Ghauri III or Shaheen III or may be an upgraded version of the LACM to be the next outcome with ranges of around 4000KM or so. LACM if any will definitely have less range.
7000KM missile is one hectic job & costly too, which we can't sustain for a longer period of time with weak state of economy. Once we reach the 5000KM or so mark then we can think of going to 7000KM range mark.
For us right now, the current arsenal of ballistic missiles is to be increased & made operationally effective & destructive. MIRV capability should be tested and made operational & ways to counter the Anti-ballistic missile shield of future & present.
