Does Pakistan have ballistic missiles?
Pakistan on Thursday conducted a successful flight test of the Shaheen-1A surface-to-surface ballistic missile. In March, the armed forces had conducted the successful test launch of the nuclear-capable Shaheen 1-A medium-range ballistic missile. It had a range of 900 kilometres.
Does Pakistan have the potential to build an ICBM?
No, because while they might have the potential to build ICBM’s, there’s no real need for it. Pakistan’s biggest enemy is India, and they’d only need a missile that could travel 3,000 km to threaten all of India. They have missiles that can travel close to that range, so they could threaten India just fine. Why build something excessive?
Can biological and chemical weapons be used on ICBMs?
Similarly, conventional, chemical, and biological weapons can also be delivered with varying effectiveness, but have never been deployed on ICBMs. Most modern designs support multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles (MIRVs), allowing a single missile to carry several warheads, each of which can strike a different target.
Which countries have intercontinental ballistic missiles?
