i)Shaheen-III
Shaheen III (White Falcon) is an Pakistani intermediate-range ballistic missile speculated to be under-development with a range of 4000-4500 km. It is a member of the solid-fueled Shaheen series missile family and is envisioned to replace the less advanced liquid-fueled Ghauri III system whose development was canceled in May 2000 according to AQ Khan. The Shaheen series systems are developed by Pakistan's NESCOM and its subsidiary, NDC...
ii)Nas'r
The Hatf IX, named Nasr , is a solid fuelled battlefield range ballistic missile (BRBM) system developed by Pakistan.
Developed by Pakistan's National Development Complex (NDC), the Hatf IX Nasr has a range of 60 km and is carried by the same Chinese-origin 8x8 high mobility transporter erector launcher (TEL) as the Pakistan Army's AR-1A / A-100E 300mm Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS). The TEL platform appears to carry two missiles which are erected before launch and it is believed that the missile range could be extended.
The diameter of the Nasr suggests that it is designed to carry a tactical nuclear warhead weighing less than 1 kg. This would be a boosted fission device using less than 1 kg of weapons grade plutonium, boosted with up to 4-5 grams of tritium. The resulting yield would be in the sub-kiloton range and would be suitable for battlefield use. A sophisticated nuclear trigger mechanism would also be required.
The Hatf IX Nasr seems to prove that Pakistan is capable of building small nuclear warheads for all types of delivery platforms to deter any conventional threats against its sovereignty
Specifications
Warhead: Sub-kiloton tactical nuclear warhead (<1 kt)
Engine :Single-stage rocket motor
Propellant: Solid fuel
Operational range: 60 km
Launch platform :Transporter erector launcher (TEL)
