 Some new inputs on the Ghauri   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
This is because the contribution of the earth’s rotational velocity to the range of the missile is nullified to a large extent because both the launch and the impact points of the missile rotate with the earth during the duration of the missile’s flight.
In our paper, we had estimated the range of the Ghauri with a 1 tonne payload as 950 km when launched in a north–south direction where there would be no contribution from the earth’s rotation.
The range of the Ghauri, as stated in the conclusions in the paper, will continue to remain between 950 km and 1120 km with a payload of between 1 tonne and 700 kg.

 Special   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Unlike Pakistan's solid-fuel Hatf and M series of ballistic missiles that indelibly bear the stamp of Chinese assistance or transfers, the Ghauri uses liquid fuel.
Therefore, firing conventional payloads using ballistic missiles of the Ghauri's class (given its greater range and inaccuracy) would almost be akin to fighting a battle with gold-plated tanks.
From a strategic perspective, the Ghauri would make the most sense if it were designed to deliver nuclear payloads.

 The Pakistani Ghauri Missile   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Ever since the Pakistani government announced in April its having conducted a test of the "Ghauri" missile, 5th in the Hatf series, the debate is not so much on its lethality as its origins.
"If Ghauri, like Nodong, had a Scud lineage or four Scud engines clustered together, then it could be using a propellant combination of UDMH (unsymmetrical dimethyl hydrazine) and nitric acid, which would give around 235 seconds impulse", he adds.
Whether the transfer constitutes an MTCR violation, and whether Ghauri has a 1500 km range with a 700 kg payload, and has been built indigenously, are matters that analysts want answers to.
