The 15 April 1999 test marked the debut of the "Shaheen" [a royal white falcon] nomenclature in Pakistan's missile inventory, as well as the genesis of some confusion concerning Pakistan's missile imports from China. The claimed 750 km range of the Shaheen is roughly double the standard range of the Hatf-3/M-11, and is consistent with the range of the much large Chinese M-9.

Hatf-3 / Shaheen-I / M-11

Given all of the recent talk by the jihadis on the flight of the falcon and the discovery that nuclear secrets were leaked by the Pakistani scientist, I'd say the information in your post is quite disturbing -- to say the least. "Shaheen" [a royal white falcon] -- geez.
