| Abstract: |
Pakistan has developed the Babur subsonic cruise
missile and conducted five flights of the missile
between August 2005 and December 2007. The
range of the missile was stated to be 500 km in
the initial flights. However, an increased range of
700 km was claimed in the latest flight. There was
also a suggestion that the range may be further
increased to 1000 km. While the Pakistan media
have shown pictures of the missile in the static
and flight conditions, no dimensional or mass
details of the missile have been officially
released.
An assessment of the missile dimensions has
been carried out by studying these images. It is
surmised that the missile diameter may be 560
mm and the total length 6.6 m. Other features of
the missile have also been outlined. |
