[Blackwater]

no need to be educate. even uneducated knows this

Pakistan does not need very long range missiles. They use suicide bombers for that.

 

[johnnyboy]

You ignorant yindooos are forgetting the fact that 1 Indian KM = 10 Paki KM... and with this logic they have tested an ICBM which we evil vegetarians haven't!

Don't believe? A 750 KM range missile landing in Indian ocean testifies the claim. akistan:

 

[Yusuf]

A 750km range missile if fired from Balochistan should fall on a latitude close to Mumbai about 18* N of equator. That is Arabian sea.

To fall into the Indian ocean, it would have to cross the 10* N latitude at least for which a range of 1700kms odd kms will be required considering that it is fired somewhere close to the coast of Balochistan.

Oh yah ! You mean India.

The missile fired is not even a IRBM (To qualify as an IRBM, the range should be between 3500 and 5500 km), it is an MRBM. The flight altitude is about 350km, so cannot be a long range missile.This missile is fired to assuage Pakistan's honor and dignity (H&D).

They cannot. We have our radars in place to track. Plus other countries.

See china said A5 was an 8000er. They may well have tracked the missile. US chose to play mum as it endorses our missile program now.

They are not even copies. They are made in North Korea or Pakistan, the only thing Pakistani being the paint job ( the painter is Pakistani, not even the paint). Very Pindigenous.

NEWS FROM DAWN
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Wednesday successfully test-fired the Hatf IV (Shaheen 1A) missile which is a nuclear-capable intermediate-range surface-to-surface ballistic missile, DawnNews reported.

According to a statement issued by the ISPR, the 'Shaheen 1A' missile is an upgraded version of the 'Shaheen 1' with a longer range.

Shaheen 1 is estimated to have a payload capacity of 1,000 kilograms and a range of 750 kilometres. The exact range of the new Shaheen 1A has not been announced.

The test missile's impact point was in the Indian Ocean.

The ISPR statement further added that SPD Director General Khalid Ahmed Kidwai was also present at the test site.

President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani congratulated the scientists working on the program over the success of the missile test.

true !

They can't use suicide bombers for a 1000kg nuke, so they are testing long range missile.

BTW Stolen Nukes+Begged Missiles+country of Terrorists+full of Extremism = Red Alert for non Islamic and secular states (including China)!
