Well, I guess one nice thing is the Pakistanis now know what India was planning to hit with a nuke.

I hope someone gets at least a month of paid leave.

The punishment here seems a bit harsh. After all, who among us has not accidentally fired a supersonic cruise missile into another country?
Hell, I was just saying to my cousin Wilfred the other day, “Willy, that’s the third supersonic cruise missile you’ve accidentally fired this week. Try to be more careful in the future, okay?”

If it had hit something things could have gotten messy in a hurry.

And now the Pakis can copy it and make their own. Are the Indians sure the launch wasn’t “accidentally on purpose”?

As I recall, just after long range antiship cruise missiles were being installed an American ship in the Bahamas was carrying out a systems test on one. The hardware that connected the launch assembly to the battle bridge had not been installed. So, everything was being done by hand, but some functions were separated so the crew doing the work was not all in the same place. Suddenly, there was a whoosh, and everybody came running to see what had happened. Yep, it launched, and they had no idea where it went. Apparently, it didn’t hit anything.
As weapons get more and more complex, we will see more of these failures.

Good thing there was no nuke. We would be wondering why it got real hot all of a sudden.

Pakistan didn’t notice.That’s entirely possible. They didn’t notice Bin Laden was there ether. They have priors. 🤨
