So we can have a MIRVed, high-tech, effective ballistic missile but not with the range of 5500 km?
I have *some* background in Aerospace engineering, but no way near a technical guy, but from what I understood back then was that "range" is almost the "easiest" thing to increase..if you have some critical technology like seeker, guidance etc.
How accurate my above lines are?
Do you know what "exactly" the obstacle Pakistan is facing in the path of developing an ICBM? Talking about technical obstacle, not political ramifications etc.
Apologies, I should have said Pakistan "won't" instead of "can't". The technological base is there, and it can be done. It will take more time though (4-5 years). However Pakistan doesn't have any enemy that far so Pakistan won't develop an ICBM.
There are things like all-composite motor designs, efficient solid-fuel grain design (though advancements are being made in these two fields), canister development etc. But these obstacles can be overcome given time and proper incentive.
