Public sentiment surrounding Pakistan's ICBM development is polarized. While many Pakistani commenters express national pride and support for military advancements, significant anxiety and skepticism arise from international observers, particularly those from India. Concerns about geopolitical stability, military spending against the backdrop of economic struggles, and the potential dangers of a nuclear-armed Pakistan dominate discussions. Humor and skepticism also emerge among some commenters, indicating a mix of seriousness and absurdity in addressing the situation.

We do have MIRV's i think (not publicly claimed). I forgot the exact project name but i have distinctly seen the MIRV pictures in development. Giving up our nuclear capability should not be up to vote. It is essential and it is our right, we can survive with the sanctions InshaAllah (Iran still exists despite all the sanctions). I think it is time that we as Pakistan's youth realize we have to fight for our country against enemies both domestic and foreign which is a topic on its own. As people with degrees and knowledge it is our duty to establish a working system in our respective fields. Gather experience and craftsmanship from abroad and bring it into Pakistan so that our country starts to take steps towards the right direction. This is to be a generational effort if we want to do anything with the country we inherited. We must not dwell in the past anymore.

We are eyeing second strike submarines. We may as well establish a trinity

Jade_Rook

This is precisely what I've been yapping about for YEARS. We need to double down. Even if it means Iran like sanctions. We must get ICBMs and domestic airforce manufacturing. This is just as important as our nukes. This is for our children's future. It is vital not just for Pakistan but for ALL islamic countries.

Once they are done with the Arabs they will come after us. They do not heed words like civilised nations do.

AstaraArchMagus

As a pti supporter i completely agree and alll thos people saying Pakistan should focus on economic growth you are right but developing a long range mirv system doesn't hinder our growth in any way except sanctions which are already being applied so we should develop it anyhow. This will boost our national security by leaps and bounds. Don't act like little kids who will destroy their country in hate of establishment. I hate establishment too but sometimes we have to look at the bigger picture. Israel is going to attack Iran and guess who's next to iran so stfu

Known_Comfortable117

Pakistan needs to get economic stability we don't need MIRV or other BS.

Ill_Butterfly_407

Pakistan has MIRV technology. And the reason why the United States are sanctioning us has nothing to do with Israel and striking them. Pakistan's nuclear doctrine is only India centric and doesn't talk about Israel. The United States sanctioning are probably due to other reasons.

Best_Being_2903

We should work on it, I agree. But testing and declaring capability achieves nothing except sanctions.

Should the day come that the US or another similar nation threatens Pakistan, then for signalling purposes you can test and declare capabilities.

Also, I’d rather use a bit more resources and develop our own Satellite Launch Vehicle (SLV), giving us dual purpose techs that will improve our ability to also design more efficient ballistic missiles.

1Bake2Cake

Maybe we should first get out of the IMF, then talk about geo political shit.

patienceofapatient

People might hate me but we have to get back with united states as US is the future

Key_Habit_5479

While your concerns regarding the current geopolitical challenges are valid, developing MIRV-based ICBMs would represent a significant escalation with far-reaching consequences. Such a move could trigger greater sanctions, deepen diplomatic isolation, and provoke countermeasures from adversaries, potentially destabilising the region further. While the technical feasibility exists, this policy must be critically analysed against its broader geopolitical and economic implications.

Instead, a more prudent strategy would involve:

* **Enhancing existing deterrence capabilities**: Strengthen Pakistan's nuclear triad (land, air, and sea) without crossing escalation thresholds. Focus on improving survivability through mobile launch platforms, hardened silos, and second-strike capabilities.
* **Diversifying alliances**: Deepen defence and economic partnerships with China, Turkey, and other friendly nations while engaging with neutral and Western-aligned states to build diplomatic support.
* **Investing in asymmetric capabilities**: Prioritise non-traditional warfare, cyber capabilities, and economic resilience to counter external pressures effectively.

Simultaneously, Pakistan should amplify efforts to demonstrate its status as a responsible nuclear state committed to stability and non-proliferation. By turning the narrative from "rogue state" to "victim of double standards," Pakistan can showcase its restrained and responsible behaviour despite provocations.

This multi-pronged strategy would safeguard Pakistan's national security and strategic interests while mitigating economic and diplomatic repercussions, ensuring long-term stability and progress

Pakistan is not stable enough to support this craze and imo we don't actually need it atm

I am skeptical of this one. Indian high command can't just hit it's own cities and keep it a secret. Plenty of people in Punjab work in the Indian armed forces.


Is it possible perhaps we fired first..?

It’s not a hypersonic missile by the true definition of the word. It does achieve hypersonic speeds in the terminal phase but the same applies to pretty much every ballistic missile.

A lot of military tech isn't revealed to the public in Paksitan

Does Pakistan have icbms lol ? I throught we didn’t have them

Oh well, if he wants to spend 50k on winning, grind him up and let him do it.

You can still win, i just defeated a golder Who spawned over 25 ships

You have to remember that the average CON player is probably some kid, who thinks threats like this work.

If anyone has extra hooker money please send me your CC Info. I need cruisers ASAP

Let him do it. He will support the devs so the game will be better in the future they desserve it

Asleep-Use9407

I was in a game where I joined a golder and our opponents didn't like it so they started spending ridiculous amounts then my team mate started spending ridiculous amounts. 

Both sides legitimately spent hundreds of dollars on that game, loooooool. We won.

groyosnolo

if he had that much money to spend, he would have won long b4 day 74.

Hungry_Treat9253

Bro, currently playing as UK, Nigeria is goldmine nigga spawned 25 max level bombers, icbm in a single minute, around 30 max level cruisers. I was only 7 min away from hitting his capital. Bro woke up and spent his entire savings just to defeat me, yeah I lost, but took all of his 25 bombers with air fighters and frigates, and annoyed him by sending National guards from different ends, total satisfaction.

And guess what he mobilized these all at day 16

I don't think ICBMs are supposed to fly that high. Or that's a crazy fish eye lens

The "X×X" notation refers to total numbers of wheels and number of wheels powered by the drivetrain. So it would be 22×? TEL in this case.

It's amazing how quickly your missile program advances when you sell your citizens to the Russians.

TEL trucks like that were a great idea during the Cold War for preventing a first strike decapitation, but I’ve got a feeling every single one of those gigantic 11x11 TELs is tracked 24/7 by US spy satellites. I mean the US has satellites that can almost read a news paper from space, no way they don’t know the mole on the back of the driver of vehicle number 6’s neck looks cancerous.

Pictures go really hard. Love No. 3 and 4.

Pictures of a ‘rocket from n. Korea’, then pictures of space. When combined would lead a lot of folks thinking “oh snap, they know how to do stuffs”.

are we going to talk about how bro has a phone and is that close to Kim?

WestSyrup4417

To think, all this impressive rocketry (and their space program too) evolved from venerable FROG and SCUD missiles. They have very competent engineers.

everymonday100

Dear fucking god the NK engineers are on kim's special crack now arent they

Wonghy111-the-knight

I'm more intrigued by the power required to sufficiently power all 11 axels if this is actually 11x11 driven. Couldn't even imagine the power loss by each axel combined. xD

They need to do more photos or videos like this. Feels like the start of a new russian/putin style marketing campaign. Maybe start an international news/media corporation. NKT(Nk times news)

biggmonk

Why do country’s waste millions deploying a mission which isn’t intended for a target, surely there’s a cheaper test

They flew that thing to the moon or something? Isn’t it supposed to come back down? That last pic is light years away from earth

Winterion19

SingerFirm1090

The missile isn't even pointy. Everyone knows it needs to be pointy for maximum damage. I'm sure that's what the great leader is explaining to the idiot in the first few pictures.

Lipziger

Getting it up there is one thing, having your MIRV survive reentry is another. That's the part where Russian sharing information gets scary.

I hope it's pointy on the end. It could bounce back if not.

ICBMs don’t go high enough to reach orbit let alone take the last two pictures.

And remember, a bigger, 12 axle TEL was leaked in September. It wasn't this one.

Arhiman666

Okay, unrelated to the vehicles themselves: the desert camo is stupid. 

Like. The US went into Iraq so they did desert camo, which makes sense. 

China saw what the US was doing and basically copied it. But it works for China because China is large and has lots of deserts and tundras. 

North Korea saw what China is doing and copied the desert camo. But it doesn’t work for NK because North Korea is mostly mountains and forest.

This shouldn’t take some sort of PhD in military science to figure out. Kim could look at at his army with his Mk 1 eyeball and go “Yeah this is dumb. Shoot the guy who makes the uniforms”. I don’t get it.

I will never get enough images of dictators pointing and gesturing at shit to make themselves look smart and involved.
