Pakistan Said To Be Dissecting U.S. Cruise Missile That Misfired
KARACHI, Pakistan -
Pakistani scientists and weapons experts are studying components salvaged from an American cruise missile that fell to earth last week in southern Pakistan, security sources said yesterday, expressing optimism that they can unlock technological secrets that will aid Pakistan's missile program.
Officials said experts associated with Pakistan's civilian and military missile programs were inspecting the guidance system, onboard computer and propulsion system of the Tomahawk missile, which was fired Aug. 20 in the U.S. attack on terrorist camps in Afghanistan but fell short of its target.
Some sources indicated that information from the missile might be shared with China, Pakistan's ally.
A Pakistani official speaking on condition of anonymity said the find was "a jackpot" that included the satellite global-positioning system and other technological improvements made to Tomahawks since the 1991 Persian Gulf War.
Pakistan reported earlier this week that it had recovered the missile Saturday near Kharan, about 370 miles south of the targeted camps. Pentagon officials have declined to confirm that a missile had landed in Pakistan.
The Pakistani sources noted with some surprise that the missile was largely intact when it was discovered. Sources in Washington said that might be explained by the fact that, because the arming mechanism on the Tomahawk is not activated until minutes before the missile reaches its target, the missile had not detonated.
Retired Lt. Gen. Thomas McInerney said he doubted the Pakistani claims. When cruise missiles crash, he said, "its like dropping a Waterford crystal glass. They are designed to do a lot of things, but they aren't designed to bounce."
U.S. defense officials also said the Tomahawk's technology already is widely available.
