Taimur: Pakistan's ICBM?

[ares]

Obviously. And we aren't going to test one either until you do so. We will follow you. You test ICBM. We will test ICBM.

We understand..you lack the initiative.

India
India currently does not have any ICBM in its inventory.

■Agni V SLBM[17]
■Surya-I
■Surya-II

Sorry there is no program called Surya since we dont need it so we dont have it. There is no need to have ICBM program because no one is hostile to India in other continents

At the same time congrats Pakistan. But what are the objectives which Pakistan thinks to achieve with it.
Hope you dont plan to hit India which goes round the globe crossing across middle east, America, Japan and then hits India

Its not like we are looking for trouble but there are somethings, countries apart India who have threatened Pakistan, even threaten to bomb it back to stone age. Maybe its for them, so they understand "Do not cross the red line".

but there is already enough threat perception in west viz pakistans nuke program. at the same time pakistan is dependent on them for the sake of market as well as aid. dont you this threat posturing will worsen the situation? even if pakistan gets it will pakistan be in state to use them because of missile shields

in my views
technically: good move
politically: blunder

Why are we excited over an article from August 13th, 2009. Late reaction, perhaps ?

IMO this isn't the time for such a development. Pakistan already has insurgency problems and not so good reputation on the global level considering security. Developing an ICBM would add more fuel to the fire.

By the way, I dont think Pakistan is capable of waging a war against Israel or any other nation at range. I say this because majority of Pakistan's army is at the Eastern Border despite fighting a WoT on the western side. In a state of war Pakistan will not have enough resources to dedicate to campaign and defend the eastern side at the same time.
Just having ICBM's is not enough, and Missile Shield technology is also maturing.

surely great news for Pakistan.

The last image which shows entire Europe in the range will certainly raise some eyebrows on those part of the world.

As a Pakistani national, ofcourse it is a proud moment but as a diplomatic level not a good move.

you do not need that much range, 4000 km range is more than enough for your interest.

just a thought.

No .... I think after the recent news of sending troops to Pakistan we need to make sure that if they'll hit us on our mail land we can hit them too.... It doesn't mean we will but its now need for our security. The fear will make them think twice before sending troops. Because right now the biggest upper hand nato have is that we cannot hit there main land in case they attack.

No offense to any nation.

As a Pakistani i see it different. Actually the dependency isnt one sided as your post suggested, we are interdependent on each other. Coming to your second part, having a deterrent does not necessarily mean we are going to fire one, like the name suggests, the deterrent is there is to prevent others from a misadventure.

 

[Devil Soul]

i've been hearing about it for quiet some time now... waiting to see when they test fire it

 

[AUz]

Well,Pakistan didn't even test fire its Shaheen-3 missile...I would be happy when Pakistan test fires its ICBM..but right now its just a news and nothing to be happy about.IMO,Pakistan is not going to test fire an ICBM (if there's any) until 2015/16.
We don't need an ICBM so badly..our current missile arsenal is more than enough for our eastern Friend.

 

[JonAsad]

Current situation of Pakistan demand no test firing of any sort of missiles, but as soon as india test fires it ICBM, we'll love to give a reply.

Europeans have ICBMs why cannot we

The News posted is of August 2009

By this time Pakistan might have tested the ICBM.

What is the latest update?

@Vasily

Its been kept secret.......



Remember no one knew about Babur and it came out of no where...

No one knew about J20 And it also come out of no where....

So whats not visible doesn't mean it doesn't exist......

Question is not whether its a secret or not?

Question is why post a 2009 article?
