Pakistan's new Shaheen-III MRBM uses Chinese transporter, says source

[Nigel Farrage]

Indian Agni-5 uses Swedish transposter. The trailer was seen pulled by Volvo truck in the parade.

So the primal point of similarity is head light and plastic cover for indicaters? Was that the only depth you could go? You could sue this journo for being that basic.

I livid in UK for many years (working) I never saw any British (original GORA) with so much interest in Pakistan's defense...even I met military veterans they have very little or casual interest in Pakistani Defense. Nut my friend you are proving me wrong.

Pakistan's new Shaheen-III medium-range ballistic missile (MRBM) is carried by a Chinese-made 16-wheel transporter erector launcher (TEL), an Indian government source told IHS Jane's on condition of anonymity.

the art of journalistic bullsh1tting at its peak!

The Shaheen-III's WS-21200 TEL and the WS-51200 used by North Korea have much in common, including the same headlight and direction indicator patterns. One main difference, however, is that the WS-21200 uses a forward-tilting windshield glass structure not used by the WS-51200.

So much similarities..oh my god...! What are we gonna do...??? we are busted....
Seriously its a shame that the writer of this article is even referred to as a journalist!

Pakistan's China Connection to Nuclear Trouble

Pakistan held its annual military day parade and displayed its new medium-range nuclear missiles last month, and it barely made a splash in Washington. But at least one analyst was paying close attention.

Richard Fisher, an expert on Chinese military technology at the International Assessment and Strategy Center, began studying the public satellite photographs of the Shaheen III missiles and came to an alarming conclusion: The transport-erector-launcher, or TEL, for the Pakistani mobile rocket matched a Chinese design that Beijing had exported in 2011 to North Korea.

Specifically, Fisher found that the Chinese, North Korean and Pakistani TELs shared the same foothold shape, the same chassis slope and the same exhaust processing system over the engine compartment.

Now, two leading Republicans in Congress are asking the Pentagon, the State Department and the director of national intelligence to look into Fisher's findings. I obtained a copy of the letter from Representative Mike Rogers of Alabama, chairman of the House Armed Services subcommittee on terrorism and strategic forces, and Ted Poe of Texas, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs subcommittee on nonproliferation and trade.

Poe and Rogers are alarmed. While China and Pakistan have cooperated on military technology for decades, and China's government announced in 2013 it would be assisting with the construction of nuclear power plants in Karachi, the extent of China's cooperation with Pakistan's nuclear weapons program has always been murky. Since the 1980s, the U.S. government has had its suspicions that China assisted Pakistan's nuclear weapons program. But U.S. presidents have also certified publicly since the 1980s that China was not a nuclear proliferator.

If Fisher's research is confirmed, then it would be evidence that China has been assisting Pakistan's nuclear program and continues to do so to this day.

"We are deeply concerned that the TEL displayed in Pakistan was acquired from China," Poe and Rogers wrote to Secretary of State John Kerry, Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter and Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper. "The transfer of an item as advanced and significant . . . would require the approval from the highest levels of China’s government if not also the People's Liberation Army. Such cooperation between the governments of Pakistan and China would represent a threat to the national security of the United States and its allies."

A spokesman for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence declined to comment Monday.

In a letter to Poe and Rogers summarizing his findings, Fisher wrote that if his research is confirmed, it would be grounds to seek new sanctions against China at the United Nations, and would trigger the enforcement of existing U.S. sanctions. He also said that it's a threat in and of itself if China is exporting such equipment or even the design of such technology, because it could end up in North Korea, which in turn could re-export it to Iran.

This is the kind of diplomatic problem President Barack Obama would likely want to avoid in the final months of his presidency. After all, despite his protests and promises to refocus America's defensive posture to the Pacific Ocean, the Chinese have moved ahead with plans to militarize islands it built up in the South China Sea. But the rest of the world may not be able to wait this long. The new Pakistani missiles have a range of 1,700 miles, which would cover all of India. If China helped Pakistan with the technology for these weapons, it raises the question what other nuclear programs China is willing to assist.

What more you people expected from Indian media? Twisting the facts to server there purpose. Nothing new. Do not read too much into this. The best part was "Two vehicles" Strange the much talked about missile have just two vehicles to carry them. Do we have only a couple of Shaheen Missiles. let the speculations being!

The source quoted was "Indian" so perhaps that describes the obsession. Plus it is PAKISTAN defense forum so what should our Indian Friends here remind us of?
