Photos show the metal pieces, now said to be parts of the Hatf-V Ghauri’s motor, which fell on some villages in Sindh province’s Dadu district on Wednesday night.—Dawn Photo ‘Mysterious metal objects’ in Dadu fell from Hatf V missile: ISPR | DAWN.COM
any one has idea about the test site and target site ??? BTW it is kind of funny that their own missile parts fell on their own countrymen.
ok i searched previous test site and found that earlier it was tested like this circle in red shows launch site and the arrow head show the target site, funny part is that blue area is where these parts fell at night. interesting.
I served as a military policeman at WSMR many years ago. White Sands Missile Range Test Center Many missile firings were entirely within the range itself, but there was a remote site for impacts in another state. Captured V-2's were tested at WSMR after WWII. One landed in a cemetery in Ciudad Juarez.
yeah AC, i wonder what will happen if that part fell on Afganistan, specially on US airbase in Kandhar.
Where did you obtain the missile test flight path information from? I am not aware of any instance in which the flight path of a Pakistani missile in testing has been disclosed.
So you are assuming that this missile test followed the suspected flight path as described in the FAS article ...
KARACHI: The mysterious metallic objects, which fell from the sky baffling villagers in Dadu late Wednesday night, were parts of Pakistan’s Hatf V Ghauri missile, a spokesman for the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said on Friday. “The metal parts found in a remote area of Dadu, as reported in media today, were part of the motor body, which separated from the missile as planned, well within the safety corridor,†said a statement by the ISPR. “It was ensured that at no point, would human life or property be at risk. There is no cause for alarm or concern,†the spokesman concluded. Pakistan conducted a test of the mid-range nuclear capable ballistic missile on Wednesday. The liquid-fuelled missile, capable of carrying both conventional as well as nuclear payload, has a range of 1300 kilometres. Fear and bewilderment overtook some parts of Dadu district after the mysterious objects fell on a number of villages late on Wednesday, the Dawn newspaper had reported. The biggest fragment weighing 187 kilograms fell on a ground in Allah Jurio Lund village, 30 kilometres from Dadu. Other pieces fell on Pir Mashaikh, Shehak Rodnani and Khandhani villages. There were no injuries or damage to property. Military authorities were reported to have taken possession of the “heavy pieces of engine and other metallic objects, be
you have better flight plan, please enlighten us. added later on: yeah love to see that security corridor, please feel free to use Pakistani map. :thumb:
As I said, I am not aware of a single instance of Pakistan publicizing its the flight path of its missiles during testing, and I don't see how you can conclude that the flight path of this particular missile test did not include DADU.
Using satellite tech, anyone can know the launch site and te destination. Add to that, India can easily track using its long range radars.
