Reason why you don't see anything like DRDO publishes is probably because of lack of highly qualified Mandarin Translators.

do you have to be provocative ? Like seriously its like kinder garden behaviour.
Does it make you feel good of yourself now?
I still remember yall reading The Deterrent 's posts on our missiles , and yall couldn't come up with logical arguments against his claims/info , Refrain from this brain fog behaviour . So what if our initial tech was based upon chinese or DPRK's tech? does that make our missiles less then others? It is still an enough threat to cause GOI to fast track BMD .
We developed S2 , S3 by our own efforts , Ababeel too , reduced the weight of the Ghauri to make a second version of it , Made the S1A and tested diff versions of it and a RV which was a testbed for the Ababeel RV . This all happened with a miniscule budget and worker pool .
Kher , dont make these childish statements again.
Removed some off-topic posts.
Keep the discussion civil & on-topic, everyone.

Really, very dubious. S4 design is much more modern (similar, close to western ones) than the type 094 which looks very basic, old (built like a workaround solution in the 'garage' quickly in order to have or just show something and with strong russian help, ToT)... No doubt S4 is more quieter than type 094 which has a very bad reputation; because of its poor quality, reliability it is doesn't navigate much, and when it does, it doesn't sail beyond China sea and so far its missiles do not carry (thermo)nuclear wharheads permanently contrary to western, russian ( and indian ?) ones
But it has indeed 12 tubes and 2*75MW reactors.

First public SLBM test: Why China's Pacific missile launch is a strategic message for Indo Pacific region - BusinessToday
The latest launch follows another major milestone in September 2024, when China publicly announced the firing of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) into the Pacific Ocean — the country's first publicly acknowledged long-range Pacific missile test since 1980.
China Pacific SLBM Test: Shift to Continuous Sea Deterrence
Defense analysts break down China's historic Pacific SLBM test, the Type 094 SSBN, and the PLAN’s shift toward Continuous At-Sea Deterrence (CASD).

Look at type 094 design, ridiculous, old one, how can one compare to S4... Tss...
It seems that China's underwater, deterrent patrol starts really only from now...
The photo of last Chinese SLBM test shows it is a copy of russian slbms and so it doesn't match West in the technology of underwater missile ejection

Apple map updates of INS Varsha shows massive infrastructure expansion. Look like an airbase is also being made for support purposes. I was surprised by the amount of guard check posts every 50 or so meters.
The only copy of the russian SLBM was the JL1 i think , JL2/3 are bigger and better imoFirst public SLBM test: Why China's Pacific missile launch is a strategic message for Indo Pacific region - BusinessToday

JL2 (or JL3) is a copy (or inspired from it) of this missile, in term of look, design, ejection system...

Yea we can tell you made Ababeel by yourselves because it keeps miserably failing (just like your economy LOL):
Pakistan can't even launch a satellite (which even North Korea has done
) but the world is expected to believe it can launch MIRVS 
.Literally there is no other country in the world which claims to have MIRV expertise without the prior experience of satellite launch. None, nada. Except of course our little lumber 1 neighbor.
Your entire "deterrence" is basically Chinese/North Korean/American stuff which tends to work + domestic dog sh*t which fails. Thats all.

But, JL2 is 2 times lighter than R39 and achieves same/higher range (newer propellant compared to R39) and carries fewer MIRV warheads. Diameter and length is also lower.
So me thinks Chinese took aerodynamic inspiration from R39 but did most of the propellant/guidance work themselves.
Our K5 will weigh 2 times lower and be smaller in length than both and still be capable of reaching 8,000 km in light load configuration
.Tbf, the ogival mirv nose fairing does suggest an attempt at jugaad on their part (even if suboptimal design wise). The missile airframe is also clearly derived from the Shaheen series.Yea we can tell you made Ababeel by yourselves because it keeps miserably failing (just like your economy LOL):

I suspect this jury-rigging is more of a compulsion than anything else. The US has sanctioned many of their labs/front companies over the yrs for buying missile tech from China etc.
Plus the outgoing US DNI Gabbard's assessment that Pak is developing ICBM class capability could have had a lot to do with said sanctions.
Oh please these guys had beg North Korea (North Korea
) for even IRBM and MRBM. ICBM capability? Let them learn how to build a motorcycle on their own first 
. 1st step towards ICBM is space launch capability because it takes a space launch vehicle class thing to deliver warheads across an intercontinental range. Every single country on this blue Earth first attained space launch capability and then got to ICBMs and MIRVs. Thats the way to do it.
Can these guys do it? Nope. Their society itself is inferior at a fundamental level, their kids have no ambition but to become terrorists and jihadis, they are not an intellectual people/society. See Iran, Vietnam, North Korea, as poor or even poorer than Pakistan yet they come top 10 in International Math Olympaid, International Physics Olympaid etc. Where is Pakistan? Nowhere. They don't even have the talent to pull it off.
Whatever they will get is after begging to the white or yellow man.
Ideally we shouldn't be demonizing an entire nation of people so much, else what's the difference between us and those online racists who degrade our country many of whom are also from said country using telegram bots and social media channel.
