Indian supersonic missile reached Mian Channu in Pakistan : ISPR
- Thread starter Tatvamasi
- Start date
This wasn't a screw-up. It was a deliberate launch.
Missiles don't just get into launch positions and accidentally launch. The fact that the missile itself flew all that way says even a target was selected before the launch. Without a target, it's unlikely for it to launch either. Even the trajectory has to be pre-decided.
Missiles aren't like guns, you can't accidentally press the trigger and make it go off.

India's 'accidental' missile fire into Pakistan raises questions, concerns
Now CCP China is rattled by India firing Brahmos into Pakistan. GobarTimes crying out loudly....

Yup.
Had it been like what happened in US Tomohawk case , we could had implies that this was a misfire.
Because without any target the missile will burn in air and then fall down and they could had get the scavenge also.
But this one hit a building .Means it was programmed.
That training angle gone wrong doesn't explain how co ordinates of the target were fed into the system. Why would such co ordinates for targets across the border be fed into a missile in training mode minus a warhead?
At the same time an article in The Print linked here
Missile accidentally fired ‘during inspection’ at secret IAF base, Pakistan ‘didn’t track’
It’s understood that missile was following correct trajectory, didn’t veer off course, contrary to Pakistani claims, and wasn’t part of an actual firing test.
theprint.in
quotes an unnamed source stating that all trials of this nature & presumably training are carried out at the ITR & never at the base.
If this was an audit then it went horribly wrong as the target would've been expected to be in India which going by the article isn't possible as no NOTAM was issued & such trials aren't carried out at the base in any case or this could be a targeted strike which seems unlikely for there's been no immediate cause for it , going by the recent precedent established by this GoI unless they're putting into action a new doctrine of pre emption which in my view is very unlikely.
I take it that all the missiles are preprogrammed with a library of targets and Geospatial maps ( Maps explained by PKS long ago in one of his comments, he mentioned only a few countries have access to the constant update of the maps rest of them use an old version of maps so INS isn't as reliable as GPS when it comes to ground-hugging paths. this was mentioned in the context of Airforces plaining raids).
Maybe new targets can be added right away but they should already be having a few options available to select as part of the launch SOP.
print article:
"They said that the missile has multiple geo-locations of targets fed into the system, which need to be selected or new ones added."
Doesn't take away from the fact that this wasn't a training mission gone wrong & it couldn't have been an audit too. You don't conduct an audit by firing a live missile so close to the international border of a N armed state with whom you have an inimical relationship.
No itsnot like that.
Now the West is concerned about the Russian invasion and majority of other nations also.
So some nations are clearing the backlogs.
It seems ours is one and startedsomekind of hit jobs
Possibly.
The way our Govt and Pakistans reaction concluded it very well
I understood that the missile didn't hit any particular target though, or did it? Was this an accident or not?
BUT one this is confirmed and should be clear to Pakistani citizens that India can conduct any strike in Pakistan, and Balakot was not a lie. Indian can hit anywhere inside Pakistan. And they cannot detect it.
This diplomacy is bit different.
Pakistanis diplomatic relation with us is bit different than any other relation with us.
We have conflict with Chinese but we both are dealing in a mature way and we hope we can reach a solution with Chinese .
Any other countries follows the same way.
But Pakistanis they are far different and immature at it best level.
Everyone understands what just happened when they invited medias ,that too after 1.5 months ,after strike in Balakot.
They went to at insane level to cover it up.
Its more depends on the religious superiority complex and their inferiority complex when they compares with us.
That how they taught their people.
March 1 one Kandhar Indian Airlines Hijacker shot dead, everyone knows what just happened but they told media to donot report it .
This missile hit a building because it had a target .
Probably we wont ever know what just happened.
But it seems somebody got some tough message and we had anticipate the response also.
Yes obviously since they are receiver and we are the pitcher in this case. Shoe on other foot, we would do the same.
But what has been (is and will be) communicated and when etc to Pakistani side is not going to surface pristine to PR, media and laypeople like us.
The specifics of what specifically went wrong here will not be aired out or communicated past the investigation generalities/resolutions (that a few specific Indian higher ups will precisely give, knowing the dissemination contours).
Past all of that, this will take contours of another grey area for debate and all the conspiracy theories it will promote, grow and nurture on whatever side. That is par for the course anyway.
This video is really interesting. What is it that the PA is hiding? Possibly a HVT which got eliminated and the PA can blame it on an accident from their training aircraft hitting the warehouse, instead of admitting a Missile Strike by India. The fact that they admitted it 48 hours after it happened, to get time to do the cleanup shows that the PA is trying to hide a lot. What best India can expect from an enemy to avoid doing the explaining.
Outstanding. Absolutely close to reality...
First from ground, then from Air, and now by Missile. Way to go India!! Kudos!
Pakistan denied the loss in Surgical Strike, admitted to loss of some Pakistani Crows and fallen trees from Balakot Air Strike and now acknowledges a missile without a warhead at Mian Channo. This is what India wants in an enemy, the one who shoves its head in the sand to avoid danger. PM, NSA and HM must be having a blast day!
