PA is secretive and for very good reason. But let me assure you boy, there is no reason for you to doubt our military establishment. The best of the best are involved.

ISLAMABAD - Pakistan on Wednesday test-fired Medium-Range Ballistic Missile (MRBM) Shaheen I-A, the upgraded version of Shaheen I of Hatf IV series, having a reported range of 1,000 kilometres.

The sophisticated missile is capable of carrying both the nuclear and conventional combatant warheads simultaneously. The previous version Short-Range Ballistic Missile (SRBM) Shaheen-I has a range of 750 kilometres that can carry either nuclear or conventional warheads at a time.

“The missile is an improved version of Shaheen-I with improvements in range and technical parameters. It is capable of carrying nuclear and conventional warheads,” Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) said.

According to sources in Strategic Plans Division (SPD), the approximately 10,000 kilogram heavy missile is equipped with carrying the nuclear warheads weighing between 200-300 kg and conventional warheads between a weight range of 500-600 kg.

The missile test was purportedly conducted during early hours at an undisclosed location somewhere near Nilor, a suburban town of Islamabad.

In addition, the Shaheen I-A primarily contains sophisticated automated refuelling and advanced stealth technology features that were not present in its previous version Shaheen-I having limited stealth features to avoid detections from Navigational Radar System (NRS). The Shaheen I missile was reportedly installed at the Eastern border at regiment and battalion levels in 2003 during the tenure of General (R) Pervez Musharraf. Its deployment followed a series of successive and successful tests

Shaheen I-A is considered to be technologically and operationally superior than SRBM Ghaznavi I (300 km range approximately) and MRBM Ghauri I of Hatf V series. Despite having an optimal range of 1,500 km that is greater than that of Shaheen I-A range, Ghauri I lacks advanced fuelling features as characterised in Shaheen I and advanced refuelling features like those in Shaheen I-A that reduce fuel expenditure, pre-launch procedures and strategic costs.

Another ballistic missile of Hatf IV series Shaheen II is known as the best of Pakistan’s all the ballistic missiles, having a range of 2,500 km and currently deployed at selective security installations. The three Shaheen missiles, Shaheen I, Shaheen I-A and Shaheen II are reportedly equipped with the latest PSAC (Post-Selection Attitude Correction) system.

The missile launch “whose impact point was at sea, was witnessed by Director General Strategic Plans Division Lieutenant General (R) Khalid Ahmed Kidwai, Chairman NESCOM Muhammad Irfan Burney, Commander Army Strategic Force Command Lieutenant General Tariq Nadeem Gilani and other senior military officers, scientists and engineers.

“DG SPD congratulated all scientists and engineers on the successful launch, and the accuracy of the missile in reaching the target. He said that the improved version of Shaheen I-A will further consolidate and strengthen Pakistan’s deterrence abilities. He appreciated the efforts of all personnel for their dedication and professionalism,” the ISPR said.

According to ISPR = the missile is an intermediate range ballistic missile. This would mean a considerably longer range.

>750kms. means 750.0001Kms. to infinity range? May be Pakistan can target Andromeda galaxy with Shaheen-1A.

Daummmm the speed!!!!!! Watch that thing go

 

[Zarvan]

Thanks for the reply Oscar.

that essentially means that the range is more or less the same as its predecessor with a little improvement of probably a 250 to 500 km extra range.
Congrats to the Pakistanis on adding improvements to their defence systems.

Then I see MR ZARVAN quoting from his personal source of over 4000 km, which is fooling his country men.

Mr My source is from Forces but first they don't tell the speed officially and now ask people to focus on Alpha thing and in my knowledge no country has used such word for any of its Missile don't know why Pakistan is doing it

 

[RazPaK]

Dear lord,

The bhartis are still jealous?

Bhartis you have your Agni V, masturbate to that rather than flaming this thread.

Thanks.

 

[IceCold]

The speed with which it took off, i think it would require max 3-5 mins to hit any target in India. This time leaves little to no time for an ABM system to successfully intercept an incoming missile.

So its 1000km range , not 4000km or from 2500-3000km . mystery solved. congratulation.

You will read higher and lower numbers, but until the military establishment releases the information, all this speculation is donkey ****.

RAWALPINDI: Displaying its prowess in the missile technology, Pakistan successfully test-fired a nuclear-capable intermediate-range surface-to-surface ballistic Hatf IV (Shaheen-1A) missile on Wednesday.

Fired from an undisclosed location, Pakistan carried out this successful test-fire almost a week following the Indian announcement of test-launch of 5,000-km range nuclear-capable Agni with Washington calling for "restraint" among nuclear powers.

"The missile is an improved version of Shaheen-1 with improvements in range and technical parameters, and having capability of carrying nuclear and conventional warheads," said an announcement of the ISPR following the successful test-fire by Pakistan.

President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani congratulated the scientists working on the programme over the success of the missile test. Though the range and payload of this missile are not disclosed, but many say that Shaheen-1 is estimated to have a payload capacity of 1,000 kilograms and range of 750 kilometres. However, it can hit a target in much longer range.

Pakistan does have short, medium and long range missiles, and now it has launched an advance training programme for the special force which is responsible for the protection of these arsenals.

It is said that the launch, whose impact point was at sea, was witnessed by Director General Strategic Plans Division (SPD), Lieutenant General (R) Khalid Ahmed Kidwai (now on his 8th extension), Chairman NESCOM, Muhammad Irfan Burney, Commander Army Strategic Force Command Lieutenant General, Tariq Nadeem Gilani, and other senior military officers, scientists and engineers.

DG SPD Kidwai congratulated all scientists and engineers on the successful launch, and the accuracy of the missile in reaching the target. He said that the improved version of Shaheen-1A would further consolidate and strengthen Pakistan's deterrence abilities. He appreciated the efforts of all personnel for their dedication and professionalism.

Some time back, Pakistan successfully test-fired its Babur Cruise missile, which has a range of 700 kilometres. The ISPR said Babur was capable of carrying conventional and atomic warheads.

A special feature of Wednesdayís launch was the validation of a new multi-tube Missile Launch Vehicle (MLV) during the test. The three-tube MLV enhances manifold the targeting and deployment options in the conventional and nuclear modes. With its shoot-and-scoot capability, the MLV provides a major force multiplier effect for target employment and survivability.

Pakistan's most recent missile test came last month with the launch of the short-range nuclear-capable Abdali, while in April 2008 it tested the Shaheen II, or Hatf VI, missile having range of 2,000 kilometres.

So its 1000km range , not 4000km or from 2500-3000km . mystery solved. congratulation.

Sir these are all guesses because their is no ISPR official confirmation

Daily Express News Story
This paper is quoting 3000 KM range What the hell is going on ?

PressTV: Pakistan test fires nuclear-capable missile in rivalry with India
Posted on April 25, 2012


Pakistan’s Hatf IV ballistic missile being test fired from an undisclosed location
Wed Apr 25, 2012 8:24AM GMT

Pakistan has test fired a medium-range ballistic missile capable of carrying a nuclear warhead shortly after India launched a long-range missile test, according to the Pakistani military, Press TV reports.

“Pakistan today successfully conducted the launch of the intermediate range ballistic missile Hatf IV Shaheen-1A weapon system,” Pakistan’s military said in a statement on Wednesday.

The missile, which landed in the sea, was an improved version of the Shaheen-one with a longer range, said the military, without revealing the exact range of the projectile.

However, Pakistani retired General Talat Masood, who is a defense analyst, told AFP that the missile would be able to hit targets up to 2,500 to 3,000 kilometers away.

The test comes just days after neighboring India announced that it had successfully test fired a long-range intercontinental ballistic missile capable of carrying a 1.5-ton nuclear warhead from a military base off the country’s eastern coast of Orissa.

Pakistan routinely tests various missiles to match those of India. The two neighbors have engaged in an arms race since the partition of Pakistan from India in 1947.

Ok, I never said it. This was a reduced range test due to the depth. Upgrades included Stealthy features, Radar evading re-entry technologies and dynamic course change with higher speed. All these are part of S II & S III (to be tested) systems. No further comments!!! Thank you

I have an excellent idea for Pakistan Army. For God sake, please test these misiles on TTP!
