Shaheen III | News & Discussions.

[Xracer]

any idea when we are testing something Big???????????

 

[Gentelman]

No. Shaheen-III is under-development, thats for sure.

Correct, Pakistan does not requires any missile system with range in excess of 3000-3500 km to target any part of India from a considerable strategic depth. It is the assumption of Shaheen-III being a high-end IRBM (potential ICBM) which is causing the confusion.
No, the project initiated post-2005 as an upgraded variant of Shaheen-II.

soo after Shaheen 3 we can hope an land to air missile program or some sort of Missile defence shield project by NESCOM??
I am truely waiting for our own anti aircraft batteries and missile shields...

Salaam to all the Muslims,

And a few more shorter range ones, Allahu Alam.

Salaam to all the Muslims.

walikumslam

A lot of R&D and budget is required for designing the guidance system of SAMs, so thats unlikely.

i suppose Shaheen Nissile program budget is too very high...
after Shaheen 3 or maybe after Taimoor what project will remain???
soo i suppose after having these missiles the next major project will be one of them....
as NESCOM is much capable in such developments....
maybe NESCOM will create some missiles for Navy but thats unlikely as we have nothing developed in here....

Of course.
Taimoor does not exists. No idea about other future projects...
May be, but most probably not.

Salaam to all the Muslims,



Pakistan needs an excuse (a genuine excuse) to test the big one. Currently it's not a good idea when 48 militaries are fighting a lost war next door.

Let them move out first, then Pakistan can start chest thumping. If Pakistan started showing off now, it'll give others a reason to dig deep and stay there for good to keep an eye on Pakistan.

Thora sara, bilkul thora sara aur sabr ki zaroorat hai.

Salaam to all the Muslims.

launch a satellite high i earth orbit - that will send a message that the technology has been mastered - and if required other places besides space can be accessed

While that would work, it would also send a message the ICBM capability has been achieved..
i.e the process of being able to add sufficient stages to send a missile all the way to say.. Israel.
Not a correct message to send.
Do we have that capability ? Yes..
Do the US and Israelis know we have that capability? Yes.

Do they know we know? Do we know that they know? Yes
But They dont "Know"..and we dont "know".. and that is how the status quo is kept from escalating to that topic.

Arabs with guns same difference as Muslums with ICBM's? Long and Winding road, that leads your door..

 

[Gentelman]

Of course.

May be, but most probably not.

then what can be major future program of NESCOM??
UAVs and ballistic and cruise missile programs are running under NESCOM umbrella...
till development of Shaheen 3 i hope that Improved Burraq will be under development and Babur with increased range will also be on it's way....soo i suppose a mojor project will be undertaken maybe it can be ICBM by probably not.....
well about Taimor i just heard some reports...

why to build our own when we can get cheaper ones from China like HQ-9 and KS-1A

soo HQ-09 is what we really want??
it's not satisfying our need..
and own research is always good as people will get jobs and at home thise will be more cheaper and maybe we can have some export customers and earn money by exporting....
at home we can built them in small amount of time and induce them earlier ...
but there is no such plans at present...

 

[bilawalkhan]

It has been disclosed, and is under development.
Its is a IRBM, range 5000-5500 KM, and nuclear warhead capable of carrying 2200KG

I havent got anyfurther information, but I guess only 15-25 would be made, and it would be tested in early 2012.

Tipu ICBM, whose range is is 7500-8500KM and capable of carrying nuclear warhead downto 4500KG is also under development so is Ghauri III IRBM, range 4000-45000KM and also nuclear warhead downto 1800KG

Tipu would be developed until mid 2014 and Ghauri III can be expected next year.


(These dates are my personal guess)

DEAR, why would Pakistan need a range greater that 3000 km, or even 2500 is enough for us, which is already at our disposal in the form of shaheen-2, so in my point of view, we should increase efficiency and accuracy of existing missiles instead of wasting our money on the things we don't need....And indeed the Ghouri series is not worth keeping, its high time for their retirement. The days of liquid fueled missiles are gone, hours of fueling them up, they would be exactly sitting ducks for the enemy.....

Nescom is sitting idle right now, as up to my opinion
