My take is Pak might have been upto some mischief which India detected. Look at the timing
1. Putin has diverted everyone's attention away
2. Entire country was engrossed in a major election

Pak might have thought of this as an opportunity to grab eye balls, make west worried of another problem to deal with while Russia is still at it. As a warning our guys simply landed a missile, at some place which meant something to Pak ...we don't know what. Look at how much time Pak first took to make these accusations and India took to respond.

I don't think it was a misfire. Some message was to be sent to Pak and it has been sent. This is exactly like surgical strike. We could have stayed quiet on them. We could have simply said this is not ours. Fact that we are publicly acknowledging it means that we want to tell the world that we can and will do this
When it got fired DGMO or official with DM should have contacted Pakistani authorities right away. Since it did not happen. It means?

1. Defection. Some rogue element fired it towards Pakistan without warhead. Many attempts have been made to know its design. After recent sales to a country the desperation is quite high. The Pakistani tracking and quick response also shows that they were expecting the delivery.

2. Signalling and testing Pakistani response. Possibility can not be ruled out but why take such risk when you can test and perfect its kill rate to your likes.

3. Murphy’s Law. Technical snag followed by usual incompetent and disconnected officials and politicians incharge who have no idea that your startegic weapons are flying astray with no communication whatsoever with neighbouring country who just got hit by it.

all these things must have kill switches , especially with its 300km range

also check out the range , travelled something like 350+ km , isnt it farther than what is actually reported ?

my theory for no self destruct function

the missile was heading to hit paki airforce base base but it didnt as kill switch was activated in between so it selfdestructed.
