Pakistan Tests Upgraded Shaheen-1A Missile

[al_asad_al_mulk]

BREAKING NEWS
The following day on 26 April 2012, the ISPR revealed more information about the missile, confirming the missile has a maximum range of 1000km. The missile weight is approximately 10,000 kg, slightly heavier than its predecessor and can be MIRVed with either 3 nuclear warheads or 6 conventional warheads. In addition, the Shaheen IA primarily contains sophisticated automated refuelling and advanced stealth technology features that were not present in its previous version to avoid detections from radars. Even Pakistani radars could not track the missile after it was launched. All three Shaheen missiles, Shaheen I, Shaheen IA and Shaheen II are reportedly equipped with the latest PSAC (Post-Selection Attitude Correction) system. This is a unique feature which consists of small thrusters that can adjust the warhead trajectory for greater accuracy and evading anti-ballistic missile defence systems. The features of the missile could also serve as a testbed of features which could be implemented on the yet to be deployed Shaheen III which could potentially have a range of 4500km

1000KMH Not possible.


Technically speaking if this Missile fired from Islamabad then Islamabad to Karachi around 1400 KMH and this Missile fired into Indian Ocean.... Calculate in your mind about the range simple!

Now that is some serious capability.....

Then how do you know if the test was successful???
Missiles of such length and size cannot be made undetectable by radars, heck, the smaller cruise missiles cannot achieve this!!
I see two possibilities, either the radars are malfunctioning or the dudes at NDC are bluffing......

Do you think you are the only Einstein left on earth and people who are working on stealth technologies are Idiots?

Damn, so it's a multi-war head capable platform, no wonder the new designation Alpha.
You can see the head on the new missile is bigger and longer without the fins.

I think the missile whole flight path during the testing can be tracked by Indian RADAR systems on the Western border. From what I hear and looking at the size of Shaheen-1 (around 10 tonnes) the range was only around 500-600Kms.

Dongfeng 11 (CSS-7)

Also known as the M-11 (export), the DF-11 is a road-mobile short-range ballistic missile (SRBM) designed by Wang Zhenhua at the Sanjiang Missile Corporation (also known as the 066 Base) in the late 1970s. The DF-11 has range of 300 km and 800 kg payload. An improved DF-11A version has increased range of >825 km. China is known to have exported DF-11s to Pakistan, which served as the basis for the Shaheen-1 and Shaheen-2 missiles. The range of the M-11 does not violate the limits set by the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR). Unlike previous Chinese ballistic missiles, the DF-11 use solid fuel, which greatly reduces launch preparation time (15-30 min). Liquid-fueled missiles such as the DF-5 require up to 2 hours of pre-launch preparation. Estimates on the number of DF-11s in service vary between 500 to 600.

My post in page number 32 reveals that we tracked the missile and found out that it splashed down at a range of 1000 km.Anyways only 3 nuke MiRV?s?Our new missile can carry 10.

Looking at the size, I doubt Shaheen-1A can go beyond 700Km. Agni-1 which is 20% bigger, can go to 750Kms with single warhead.

There are observers placed around the target, Thats one of the most interesting expression of the day......

Don't want to go into details, but you Indians seem to have more of every thing.

So the maximum range is 1000km.
The warhead certain doesn't appear to be having MIRV(too small to carry multiple warheads).
What refueling do you require in a solid fueled missile ??... the fuel in a solid fuel missiles is stored during manufacturing process and it is takes lot more time than a liquid fuel one.. since the layers must be quantized as it burns out layer after layer... even slight difference might cause the missile to imbalance and cause a disaster.
There is no way a ballistic missile can avoid detection by long radars...... the one who said is certain fooling the public... such a lowlife he is who thinks that public are morons and would believe whatever BS he speaks.
There are small thrusters in moder Ballistic missiles which corrects its course in space... all Indian BM have it..If you didn't have such thrusters then there is no difference between your missile and a Scud.. such thrusters work only in the space.. for making RE warhead maneuver in the atmosphere you would need flex nozzles and not thrusters which can throw the missile way out of course.

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.
