ROFL I love that show OKAY that good excuse LMAO I get Boomrang that old school Hanna Barbara cartoon that network TOO LOL!

Thanks. Indians are going to be really angry. Opinion journalist there will demanding that our US leaders allow them to nuke Pakistan again. Nixon, sucking-up to the Brits ("India" "partition" and "Pakistan" as keywords without the quotes), started our oddball, mismatched relations with Pakistan, AFAIK.

[familyop]

And BTW, for other readers here, China is providing weapons originally of Russian design to Pakistan.

Yeah that what I don't get at Tulsa fox news disappointing me hey if nobody there at NY offices they could always score the satellite from SKY news HELLO do they have Pakstein or India bureau over there

2000km. won't reach Israel,,,But it covers all of India,,,

(paper map and ruler)

[CarrotAndStick]

Actually, I don't think India will need to worry any more than it already is. The principal targets in India were already covered by the earlier "Pakistani"/Chinese/NK missiles in Pakistan's possession.

This one can only worry Israel.

Pakistan test fires long-range ballistic missile


ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Pakistan test-fired a nuclear-capable, surface-to-surface ballistic missile with a range of 2,000 km on Friday, a military official said.

The test of the Hatf VI (Shaheen II) missile was successful, he said.

"It can carry all types of warheads including nuclear," the official said.

The Hatf VI is a two-stage solid fuel missile which can carry nuclear and conventional warheads with high accuracy. An advanced version has a potential range of 2,500 km.

That missile range map was for shorter range Ghaznavi missile. This one's for 2000 kms, to be upgraded to 2500 kms.

"You make me sad, SevenofNine!"

:O) Ha, ha, -- that's pretty creepy. Sorry!

[familyop]

Well, I guess it will spur more anti-ballistic missile defense research, development and manufacturing. That's a good thing. ABM systems are potentially less costly to build than nukes, if we really get going with them.
