Looks like Pakistan is going to test missile on 07-08 Nov 2014.

[Srinivas_K]

i think more then that we can get close view of the launchers and put that info on our data base, so that at the time of war we should know what kind of truck to follow/track and take out. Ofcourse we can test our missile to get live firing info and test IAF to do the same.

Our Radars at the Border can pick up the every activity in pakistan. Including fighter jets take off and Landings :thumb:

Does anyone have statistics on Pakistani missile tests. Like the ratio of success and failure of launches!

Another interesting news though old
Was Raymond Davis Spying on Pakistan's Babur Missile?

As the diplomatic tussle between the United States and Pakistan over US demands for the release of Raymond Davis continues, it is interesting to note that their are varying reports of what Davis had in his possession (photos here) at the time he was arrested after shooting dead two Pakistanis on the streets of Lahore on January 27. Varying reports mention a GPS tracker, a GPS navigation system or a phone tracker, along with a telescope and digital cameras said to have photos of "sensitive" locations. In a very interesting development, we learn from multiple sources that on Thursday Pakistan successfully test-fired its Hatf VII cruise missile, which it also calls "Babur". When the Express Tribune first reported that Davis' victims were from the intelligence community (which ISI has since denied and threatened the paper with legal action), the Washington Post followed up by mentioning that Davis was trailed and confronted because he had "crossed a red line". Was gathering information on the impending test firing of the Babur missile that red line?

Pakistan has a history of developing missiles intended to be used with their nuclear weapons. This report (caution, it is old and dates from 1999 and quotes material from the Rumsfeld Commision) is interesting for where it states that M-11 missiles from China were seen:

The Rumsfeld Commission confirmed that complete M-11 missiles were sent to Pakistan from China. Pakistan has reportedly received more than 30 M-11s, which have been observed in boxes at Pakistan's Sargodha Air Force Base west of Lahore. Intelligence officials believe Chinese M11s have probably been in Pakistan since November 1992, when China was "reconsidering" its stance on missile exports after the sale of U.S. F-16 aircraft to Taiwan. Since then, Pakistan has been constructing maintenance facilities, launchers and storage sheds for the missiles, all with Chinese help. China and Pakistan deny these reports.

Pakistan calls the M-11 the Hatf-III. The missile has a range of more than 300 km and a payload of 500 kg. It is a two-stage, solid-propelled missile capable of carrying nuclear warheads. The missile was reportedly test-fired in July 1997.

Of importance is the fact that the missiles were said to be at an air base west of Lahore. Now for the description of the sensitive photos Davis took:

"During the course of investigation, police retrieved photographs of some sensitive areas and defence installations from Davis' camera," a source told The Express Tribune requesting anonymity. "Photos of the strategic Balahisar Fort, the headquarters of the paramilitary Frontier Corps in Peshawar and of Pakistan Army's bunkers on the Eastern border with India were found in the camera," the source added.

So, just a few weeks after Davis may have provoked Pakistan intelligence into a confrontation with him, perhaps over sensitive photos he may have been observed taking in the Lahore area, Pakistan test-fires a missile capable of carrying a nuclear warhead:

Pakistan Thursday successfully tested a nuclear-capable cruise missile with a range of up to 600 km, a military official said.

The Hatf-VII missile, also called Babur after the 16th-century Muslim ruler who founded the Mughal Empire, was fired from an undisclosed location, said Major General Athar Abbas, a military spokesman.

This story goes on to mention that the nuclear-capable Hatf V, with a range of 1300 km was tested in December. And the story points out that most of Pakistan's missiles "are deployed toward India", which means that the Lahore area, on the Indian border, is a likely site.

It will be very interesting to see if the US comments on the test-firing.

some comic post from FB

Is Pakistan test firing a long range Ballistic Missile? Today?

Pakistan Navy has cordoned off a very large oceanic area for a missile test. No ship or air craft should enter the areas on 7th and 8th November until 2pm Pakistan time. The Pakistan navy's international navigation warning message gives two separate sets of coordinated in the Indian Ocean.
Both areas are Rectangular in shape and 2300 KM apart.
If a straight line is drawn between the two rectangular areas it follows a south west route,or the general orientation of Pakistan itself.
Most missiles are fired from Northern or central Punjab,and if the distance is calculated from Northern Punjab and second rectangular area, the supposed missile fired can easily be of a 3700-4000 KM range.
First Cordoned off Rectangular area is 230 KM off the coast of Karachi looks like the drop zone of First or second stage of the Ballistic Missile.
The second cordoned off area further down south is the Target area where the warhead(s) will fall.
If fired from the usual location,northern Punjab,then the missile could easily be a three stage Ballistic missile with the first stage falling in the deserts of Sindh.
Another impotant clue in the Pakistan Navy warning message is the altitude of safety zone which is mentioned as 692 Km. Only long range ballistic missiles rise to such altitides. Pakistan's Shaheen 2 has a maximum altitude of 350 Km,so by comparison this alleged missiles has much longer range than Shaheen-2.
For now this is an analysis based on an official Pakistan Navy NAVTEX warning. Tomorrow we may have some good news,or the test may remain undeclared.
More analysis on our website.

Wrong again.
All Shaheen missiles have been test fired from Sonmiani and not Tilla.

its a secret image, shows Sonmiani range is covered.

from the movement it gets lift off it will on our radar range.

Statistics? What is that? Pakis dont need statistics, as long as they have their heads firms up theirs own a**es.. Have you ever heard a single news of a missile failure? Nope. Even if a missile broke into bits and fell over its own people the ISPR claimed the test to be a text-book success, and did not change its story until a local journalist covered the "flaming debris story" and dropped a dungbomb on the ISPR's face.. Here is a snippet for your reference..

ISLAMABAD — Despite the official announcement that the Nov. 28 test of the Ghauri/Hatf V (Vengeance V) ballistic missile was successful, reports in the local media indicate the missile in fact disintegrated.

.. Bam! dungbomb!

The military's Inter Service Public Relations (ISPR) media branch admitted the debris were part of the Ghauri, but reiterated its earlier claim that the test was a "complete success."

Of course, pakis can never fail. They cannot operate a single steel plant in their country BUT their missiles are state-of-the-(f)art .. Seriously what sort of a monumental moron makes a statement like this and gets away with it??

"The missile during its flight remained within the designated flight path and corridor. 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," it stated.

Wah! More gems!... pulled out of somewhere the sun doesn't shine..

Clearly Richard Branson should claim that SpaceShip two was a complete success!!

And finally the finishing move.. lovingly delivered to the paki gonads.. with a cricket bat..

If this is indeed a failure, Khan says it would mark the third known incident of this kind involving the Ghauri since it was purchased from North Korea by disgraced metallurgist and former administrative head of the then-Khan Research Laboratories, Abdul Qadir Khan.

The first test in 1998 led to the missile breaking up, and in a later test the Ghauri is known to have fallen in Iranian territory, leading to a diplomatic protest from Tehran.

Khan says because the design was outdated when purchased, the considerable modernization work done by the National Engineering and Scientific Commission and the National Defence Complex may not have been wholly effective. (Morgoth Speak:How many paki scientists does it take to screw up a NoKo missile? Ha! Trick question! Paki scientists don't exist, they are an urban legend)

Ultimately, he says the Ghauri missile system needs to be retired. :shocked:

Now that is funny.. PN and cordoning? Cordon what? How? By waving banners and burning flags?

All I see happening is, the Paki Navy trying to stay as far away from India and its Navy as possible while furiously praying that they not be showered with metal petals from their own missile.

terrorists will suicide vests will swim in that area to ward off any unwanted ships or persons.

times up looks like they aborted the test.

Well, I know that part already. The statistics I asked was based on international observations on Pakistan missile launches. There is already a lot of articles on DFI itself that underlines the inefficiency of Bakistan missiles.
As I already said, I asked for statistics from any internationl agency who keeps track of missile launches and its success ratio.
It will give us an idea into how reliable Chinese missiles are.

 

[sayareakd]

It may also happen that missile exploded at launch site yesterday or today morning, now they will bring in another missile and launch it from other side of range.

Aviation regulator should start issuing hefty fees for issuing NOTAM. Otherwise the Pakistani will misuse them.

they are now saying 1300 km range missile is tested ....................

when they dont test, they issue this kind of statement to fool their uneducated janta...............

 

[sorcerer]

So this is what it is..
The NOTAM was issued for 7 and 8 Nov.
WTH?
Was there another test scheduled for 7 & 8 which got 'Mushraffed' in the last minute?

 

[Illusive]

Khoda pahad toh nikla Ghauri..................WTF?

Nothing unexpected, last time it fell apart in air, so they had to test weather their other missiles are also not going to fall apart. Its funny how long it took them since last time they fire this missile was 2 years back, I think Korea se naya maal time pe nahi aya.

I hope they tested it from Karachi range. The advantage is that, if it broke apart in mid-flight, no news reporter can click the photos of debris

Something is wrong, the NOTAM was for Friday and Saturday. But, the article says Wednesday. Something is not adding up.

=============

OK, got it.

the article talks about the Wednesday which was 28/Nov/ 2012 when it was fired.
