Why has Pakistan not tested a ICBM yet?

[Abid123]

Make the Pakistani Economy at least $500 Billion Dollars in Nominal GDP terms before testing an ICBM.

The Pakistani economy was already 400 billion dollars back in 2012. Over 10 years ago... Pakistan formal+informal nominal GDP is close to 700 billion dollars right now. Well above the 500 billion dollar mark. You just need to rebase your economy properly like Nigeria did in 2014.

Thank you for correcting me. I am going by information on wikipedia which is reported by IMF.

I think everyone here knows that Pakistan has the capability to build a ICBM missile. Why has Pakistan not tested one yet? Are there poltical reasons? Maybe international sanctions? Building a MIRV is way way complicated than ICBM. So there is no reason to doubt that Pakistan does not have ICBM technology. Even North Korea has two operational ICBMs. The Hwasong-14 with 10,000 km range and Hwasong-15 with 13,000 km. Pakistan can easily test a 10,000 km ICBM.

P.S. I may have said something wrong. If you see a mistake correct me. I am new here.

Testing ICBM will put Pakistan in confrontation with Europe and USA as these countries feel uncomfortable with such weapons

Pakistan has not felt a need to test these as our main enemy is located within short/medium range missiles of Pakistan Army

Exactly improve the economy first. Then we can test an ICBM.

IK is a simpleton who always talks about peace. He has been destroying Pakistan's military capabilities.

How exactly has he destroyed Pakistan’s, military capabilities give us the facts !!!!

 

[Abid123]

now America and Pakistan is not even in a league to be enemies because USA can flat out of Pakistan with only couple of their Nuclear Subs, and Pakistan can not do anything to hit America besides hitting a bunch of its bases in ME, which in honestly will kill more Muslims than Americans, as for Israel again there is no comparison here because they not just have USA but the whole NATO be+hind them, and if anyone in Pakistan is delusional enough to even believe we can threat Israel than I would say, stop doing sasta nasha.

Looks like you dont know the difference between a conventional and nuclear war. Not in the same league you say? But Iran and North Korea are? It does matter if we are in the same league. No sane person in the Pakistani establishment would want a war with a superpower, but you need to learn to stand up for yourself.

They are our enemy and should be treated as such. The US has been funding terror groups in Balochistan for close 2 decades with the aim of killing Pakistanis and destroying Pakistan. How should Pakistan stay neutral in all of this? We need to stop being cucks and have some self respect.

@SaadH

Ok and If USA wants to attack Pakistan, a couple of ICBM's will not stop them, ask @PanzerKiel if under any circumstances Pakistan can even think of attacking US or even defending itself from an all out war, US has around 14 Ohio Class Submarines each carrying 20 ICBM's, and these Subs patrol across the world seas . Just take this information for a moment, 14 Subs with 20x ICBM's each with MIRV's....let that number sink in

Once again you show you cant distinguish between conventional war and nuclear war. Can you define how many ICBM's come under your definition of "couple of ICBM's"? 100 ICBM'S would give you full deterrence against any country in the world. With 100 ICBM'S it would be suicidal for any country to engage Pakistan in an all out war.

So your logic is that we cant defend against US because they can wipe out Pakistan from the map? Have a surprise for you. All 8 other nuclear powers have enough nukes do make Pakistan a giant nuclear wasteland. Including the smallest nuclear power today which is North Korea. North Korea if it wanted to could make Pakistan a giant nuclear wasteland. You dont need more than 20 nukes to destroy all of Pakistan. In fact does Pakistan even have 10 cities worth nuking?

 

[Wergeland]

USA or Europe neither can or will do much if ICBM is tested. There are already several thousands Russian and Chinese nuke pointed at the west.


So this ICBM thing is entirely up to pakistan itself. Probably its not built yet due the program cost.

 

[airmarshal]

Because Pakistani generals are busy testing their new political experiment. Where they control the country through crooks. Its a first time, generals have a serious challenge.

In any case, this military leadership is coward. It looks to find ways for peace with India, provide passage to USA to Afghanistan and do things which are not in their remit.

Sorry to bring politics here but like myself, the whole nation is frustrated and angry at these selfish generals.

Exactly improve the economy first. Then we can test an ICBM.

Economy is the first line of defence. I hope our GHQ will understand this. Becoming a better American lackey wont help.

 

[Abid123]

You dont seem to understand what nuclear weapon is capable of.

Yes the US can totally flatten Pakistan with its 5000 warheads launched from multiple platform. By doing that it will not only kill tens of millions of Pakistanis but also a huge chunk of Indians and beyond, because of radiation spreading with dust and winds.

What you dont realize is that Pakistan may stand decimated but America will be so badly injured that its days of Global Superpower will be over in seconds. All it takes is around 10 nukes penetrating missile shield and 10 major cities will be gone. This is exactly the reason the US (or any other great power) dont dare launch nukes first. Because the price of victory is too high.

Why would America risk its preeminence for destroying a Pakistan with nukes?

These are mere cold hard analyses from my side.

Dont bother with him bro. He is most likely suffering from inferiority complex. Which a lot of Pakistanis do.

As I mentioned earlier any nuclear power today can totally flatten Pakistan including the smallest North Korea. There is research suggesting that even 100 nukes are enough to destroy the world.

A nuclear strike on only New York city by for example North Korea would reduce US from superpower to great power. American Financial Empire would be over. The world economy would face a crisis since NYC is the financial capital of the world. China would benefit the most as this would make it undisputed superpower it no peer rival. Dollar would most likely also be replaced as the global currency by the Yuan.

Pakistan should not test an ICBM.

Doesn’t serve any purpose. Pakistan does not have cross continental enemies and the political cost of such a move would not be worth the benefit.

Pakistan’s current ballistic and cruise missile and it’s capability of launching them from multiple platforms is enough deterrent at the moment.

We do have cross continental enemies. Besides what is your "definition" of "enemy? So a country which is supporting terrorist groups inside our country killing Pakistanis is not our enemy?

After the Indian Nuke capable missile attack on Pakistan it should be ICBMs manufacturing and deployment.

In my opinion the red line was crossed after the Salala incident. Should have started manufacturing
and deploying ICBM's after that.

 

[Abid123]

NK doesn't have any neutrals, that's why it has made tremendous progress in military technology and has been able to keep a super power and the whole of Western bloc at bay.

You are right. North Korea has kept the USA at bay for over 5 decades. Even extreme sanctions dont seem to stop them. Meanwhile "mighty" Islamic nuclear power Pakistan got regime changed in a couple of months.

 

[Solidify]

Bcoz men like Bajwa are pussies men without balls of steel

 

[Abid123]

Now is the perfect time for Pakistan to test its ICBM.

No it is not. First Imran Khan needs to come back to power. Second needs to find all the sell out generals and hang them. There is no point in having ICBM if your generals are slaves to a foreign country. Show no mercy to the "neutrals". They deserve nothing less then death.

Pakistan has not test a ICBM since india is only a stone throw away..

Was it India that threatened to bomb your country to the "stone age" 2 decades ago? What if they threaten us tomorrow? Will you bend over again like you did in 2001?

They can only sanction if Pakistan tests ICBM.

Dont think program cost is the biggest issue rather Pakistani generals being sell outs.
