US Accuses Pakistan of Altering Missiles - NYT

if there was any such test it must be that of Naval version of babur cruise missile, it is in air for quite some time now and PN is soon going to get them!
specially work on this project have gained more speed after the ARIHANT sub induction in IN!
however the missile is likely to be fired from susb as we do not have destroyers and our frigates also do not support land attack missiles!

regards!
 
Jawad i think US is doing it so that India only has to worry about China and not Pakistan.**** USA..We should stick with Chinese or Europeon weapons..We should one of our F16 with AIM9 and AIm120 to China for you know what ;).

this NYT article has shown the how much credible the writer is, **** loosers writer think america is trying to contain the arms race in south asia, wat the .....
seems they r trying hard to find excuse to delay the deivery of Block-52s and rest of AIM-120s.. i say lets forget american weapon
 
So i can see one thing here, and surely, US will reduce the aid to Pakistan in future. Moreoevr when they themselves are fighting with crisis, I don't see much chances for more aid to Pakistan.
 
But why we need to modify when we have new harpoons-block-2 which have a land attack capability

:undecided:


Indeed yankees are again at using dirty tricks

Who cares man the US aid is already mosly would be used for US staff and their security.

US is only adding to hate feelings for the Americans nothing else.

But then again Hate against Americans arround the world only contributes to Pentagone revenue viz viz sale of weapons.
 
I've been extremely vocal against this deal in Pakdef and many other forums from the beginning & also recommended to sell those vintage F-Solas to a third country just to buy off the shelf J-10s and fund J-XX projects, which wouldn't have any political string attached and GOP didn't have to trade innocent's lives off to get them. After all, defence hardware are to save the lives of fellow compatriots not to trade them, don't they?

J-10 isn't available as of now according to the previous chief of our airforce IIRC. We can't sell F-16s to a third party without the permission from the US.
 
mashallah pakistan already have many othere better missiles then this.

its all USA messing with pak army we need to tell them we are not iraq or afghnistan.
 
Gen(R) Talat Masood : The latest NYT report is again only manifestation of American double standards. USA is keeping a watch full eye on Pakistan while on the other hand almost all Nuclear Powers are supporting India on full scale. Pakistani Missile technology has surpassed the technology used in 80's era Harpoon Missile.

The other analyst says that US might have sensed that Pakistan is close to test launch Sea based missile and they are trying to label it as "stolen technology" well before the news becomes reality. He further says, the international media is reporting that India have decided to conduct new nuclear and missile tests and suddenly the whole environment is being created. Just yesterday, Indian PM has been briefed about their Nuclear Program in a 9 hours long meeting and they have decided to carryout more tests.
 
Just seen this News on CNBC TV 18.... Acc. to news channel The US is terming this as worrisome development for both India and Afganistan......... and terming this as a serious threat for Both the countries.
 
Assalam-o-Alaikum-Warahmat-ULLAH ALL,

I thought Pakistan was decreasing its dependency on US based arms/weapons/war-ships and moving towards self sustainability?

If this is about US Aid, it is BETTER!!! NOT!! to take that Aid in the first place.

Why not go towards reviving our "Khudi" ? :pakistan:

Why remain slaves for US to occupy and enslave us ?!?!!!! :what:

I don't see the "wisdom" in that
 
well I think after this Kind of Developement ..... I think it may have impact on the aid Pakistan is getting or going to get...... For me interesting thing to watch out is How it will impact Future Weapon Sale(s) to Pakistan and their Acquisation of new F- 16 or upgradition of existing Fleet.

After this kind development(s)..... Pakistan and the US relation will hit new Low.
 
I Think CNBC is not "Indian Media"..... CNBC is US firm... and CNBC is Top Financial News channel along with Reuters and the Bloomberg.... not just Common man but even big Institutions like their News Service(s).....

Pakistan rejects US accusation on missile modification

Pakistan on Sunday rejected US government claims that it illegally modified American-made missiles and said the accusations were part of a campaign to "malign it and its armed forces".Modifications to anti-ship missiles made them capable of hitting land-based targets and thus threatening India, The New York Times said on Saturday.

Citing unnamed senior administration and congressional officials, the newspaper said the accusation was made in an unpublicized diplomatic protest delivered in late June to Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani.

"It appears to be a campaign by design to malign Pakistan and the armed forces to achieve some purpose," a senior Pakistani security official told AFP, asking not be named.

He said the Harpoon missiles were meant for maritime use and "there is no credible information to suggest that the navy might have changed the original purpose of the missile."


The New York Times said the missiles were sold to Pakistan by the administration of former US president Ronald Reagan as a defensive weapon during the Cold War in the 1980s.

US military and intelligence officials said they suspect that Pakistan has modified the missiles in a manner that would be a violation of the Arms Control Export Act in the United States, the paper said.

According to the report, US intelligence agencies detected on April 23 a suspicious missile test that appeared to indicate that Pakistan had a new offensive weapon.

The United States has also accused Pakistan of modifying US-made P-3C aircraft for land-attack missions, another violation of US law that the administration of President Barack Obama has protested, the report said.
