Strategic Weapons: April 23, 2000

Archives

Pakistan has unveiled its Shaheen-II theater ballistic missile. Details are unknown; the rocket shown to the press had two solid-fuel stages and was carried by a road-mobile launcher eerily similar to the one used by the Russians for the old SS-20. Pakistan claims that Shaheen-II can carry a 1,000kg warhead to a range of 2,500km, but in southern Asia, stated missile ranges are often overstated for political reasons.--Stephen V Cole
