Amazon Quiz: Shaheen 1-A medium-range ballistic missile made with the help of China, belongs to which country?

Pakistan

UAE

Saudi Arabia

Egypt

Answer: Pakistan

Pakistan successfully test-launched a medium-range Shaheen 1 called Shaheen 1A on April 25, 2012, impacting the Indian Ocean. It is an upgraded version of Shaheen 1 with better accuracy and doubles the range of its predecessor. Shaheen 1 (Hatf 4) can launch a payload of 700-1,000 kg to ranges of up to 700 km, and its extended-range variant, the Shaheen 1A, ranges up to 900 km. The missile the developed with China’s technical assistance, and analysts suggest its design may derive from China’s DF-15 system. Pakistan obtained 34 M-11 (DF-11) missiles from China in 1991. China also supported Pakistan in constructing an assembly plant for the M-11 missile. However, it is unclear what extent of technical support Pakistan received and whether Pakistan took delivery of complete M-9 missiles from China.

After 2012, three additional flight tests took place on November 17, 2015, December 15, 2015, and March 26, 2021.

Pakistan started developing the Shaheen in 1993, and first displayed the missile in March 1999. The system’s first publicly-acknowledged flight test took place in April 1999, though testing may have started as early as July 1997. Subsequent tests were done in October 2022, October 2023, December 2004, November 2006, January 2008, and May 2010. The missile entered service with Pakistan Army Strategic Force Command in March 2003.
