	Shaheen missile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Shaheen missile series (named after a white eagle that lives in the mountains) is a variant of the Hatf missile that was developed by National Defence Complex (NDC), a subsidiary of the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC) which was formed in 1993, under the guidance of Dr. Samar Mubarakmand.
		The Shaheen missile is an medium-range ballistic missile (MRBM) with an optimal range of 2500 km.
		The Shaheen missile is very accurate by the standards of ballistic missiles and has a CEP of 50 meters.

		Shaheen 1 was first tested in April 1999, with a launch from the Ormara naval base in Southern Pakistan to the Chagi Desert, a flight of 450 km that lasted for 6 minutes and 12 seconds.
		Shaheen 1 is a single-stage solid-propellant missile, with 7,000 kg of propellant and a motor assembly weighing 1,000 kg.
		The missile is raised to the vertical for launch from the rear platform and the vehicle is stabilised by four hydraulic jacks prior to missile launch.

		He said the missile would be ready for testing by the end of 1998, though in fact as of early 2000 no such test had taken place.
		In December 2000 Dawn reported that the Shaheen-II was a two-stage, solid-fuel missile capable of carrying a warhead of 1,000 kg to 2,500 kg with a range of 600 km.
		The missile was said to be 12 meters in length, one meter in diameter, with a 200 m circular error of probable (CEP).

	Shaheen-I / Hatf-IV [M-9] - Pakistan Missile Special Weapons Delivery Systems
		The Shaheen-I missile is probably a version of China's M-9 missile, which Islamabad may have acquired in 1991 but had kept under wraps for fear of sanctions.
		However, the still photos and video released by Pakistan of the "Shaheen" missile are clearly the M-9, not the M-11, and the Shaheen Transporter Erector Launcher [TEL] is clearly a modified version of the M-11 TEL.
		The Pakistan military said the test-firing of the medium-range Shaheen-one missile was not meant as a provocative move against India.

		Shaheen 2 appears to be based on the earlier Shaheen 1 design, using a modified Shaheen 1 motor assembly as the first stage and using a complete Shaheen 1 missile as the second stage.
		Ground motor tests for Shaheen 1 were made in 1997 and 1998, and it is possible that a ground test in 1999 was made for the new first stage Shaheen 2 motor.
		There are unconfirmed reports that a Shahine 3 missile, with a range of 4,000 km, may be in development with a dual role for use as a ballistic missile and as a satellite launch vehicle.

	Hatf-3 / Shaheen-I - Pakistan Missile Special Weapons Delivery Systems
		The Shaheen project used the resources that were available within the various other institutions in Pakistan, supplemented with infrastructure created at the National Development Complex for capabilities which were not available elsewhere in Pakistan.
		Missile components from these various facilities were brought to the NDC for final integration.
		The two "Shaheen" missiles displayed in the military parade were apparently the improved longer-range CSS-7 Mod 2, rather than the original Mod 1 exported to Pakistan in the early 1990s.

		The indigenously developed missile has a range of 200 km and is capable of carrying a 500 kg warhead payload containing nuclear, chemical, or conventional warheads.
		The cruise missile is called the Hatf VII “Babur,”; and is said to have a range of 500 km (310 miles), according to spokesman Major General Shaukat Sultan.
		Missile defenses, properly balanced and carefully managed, could be a means by which to ease the nuclear missile standoff between Pakistan and India.

	DJ->Opinion
		The Shaheen II test not only enhanced Pakistan's capability to strike deep in India alone, but it also refuted the baseless speculations in the domestic politics of Pakistan that the present government is compromising on its nuclear deterrence.
		He said the weight of this missile was 26 tons and the two stage missile was completely prepared by the scientists and engineers of NESCOM who deserved a lot of appreciation.
		Japan said “It is regrettable that Pakistan conducted a ballistic missile test, despite efforts by the international community for the non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missiles.

		Pakistan has said the missile has a range of over 1,200 miles, although one Pakistani newspaper has reported its range could be as high as 1,900 miles.
		The new missile exceeds the 930-mile reach of the Ghauri, previously Pakistan's longest-range missile which some say was developed with North Korean help.
		The aim of the test would be to ensure its missile reach was sufficient to deter aggression and "prevent military coercion," Khan said.

	MissileThreat :: Hatf 6
		It appears to be a two-stage version of the Hatf-4 Shaheen 1 design, using a modified Hatf-4 as the first and second stage.
		The Hatf-6 is a strategic missile with a range of 2,000 km (1,243 miles).
		The missile is sufficient to strike strategic targets such as airports, manufacturing complexes, military bases, and civilian facilities (power plants, water purification centers, etc.) with a reasonable chance of damaging or destroying the target.

	Defence Notes
		Again, when both these countries who have worked on derived and ‘reverse engineered’ ballistic missiles call their hardware as totally ‘indigenous’, I would not like to comment on this, and probably this claim is true to the extent that the names of these monsters are surely indigenous.
		Both have acquired ballistic missile delivery systems, although the combat readiness of the missiles is not altogether clear.
		India’s longer-range nuclear-capable missiles such as the Agni, however, are still in the research and development process under the Defence Research and Development Organisation, are believed not to be in serial production, and secure deployment in silos or on rail-mobile launchers-concepts that have been discussed-probably is years away.

		Defense analysts believe the missile test is a move by President General Pervez Musharraf to put at rest all concerns, aired after the confession of Dr A Q Khan of leaking nuclear secret to other countries, that government was going to rollback the country’s nuclear program.
		The reach of missiles, he said, should be enough to deter aggression.
		The Shaheen-I (Hatf-4) solid-fuelled missile was flown in October 2002 and the Abdali missile again in March 2003.

		The message of the Indian and Pakistani missile tests was unambiguous: both sides want to make it as clear that they are prepared for massive retaliation in the event of a war over their competing claims to Kashmir, the Himalayan state where more than 35,000 people have already died in a long and violent insurgency.
		On October 8, Pakistan performed a second missile test in a week, the same day that India was to complete the last stage of an election in the divided region of Kashmir.
		Also, Pakistan's test of a missile capable of carrying a nuclear warhead deep into India was a response to fears that its neighbor may adopt the "preemptive strike" policy recently articulated by the US against Iraq, analysts said.

		The media reports which appeared in the aftermath of that test said the missile was a two-stage rocket weighing 25 tons with a diameter of 1.4 meters, a length of 17.5 meters, and a range of 2000 kilometers.
		They said that fresh tests of ballistic missiles on the part of Islamabad will not damage the ties between the South Asian nuclear states which are currently engaged in the dialogue aimed at normalization of ties.
		Critics liken the rush to deploy expensive ballistic missile defenses at a time when the threat as well as technology is changing to rewriting architectural plans in the middle of building a house.

	Pakistan tests its longest-range missile -DAWN - Top Stories; 10 March, 2004
		The maiden test-firing of the two-stage Hatf VI, or Shaheen II, missile was successfully carried out, a military statement said without specifying the location of the launch and impact of the weapon that it said could hit targets up to 2,000km.
		Speaking at a private TV channel, he said the missile's actual range was up to 2,500km but was restricted to 2,000km so as not to cross Pakistan's declared territorial sea limit.
		In a TV interview, he described the test as of "great importance" because it was Pakistan's first experiment of a two-stage missile compared to previous one-stage missiles, such as the Ghauri missile made by the Khan Research Laboratories founded by Dr Khan.
