Amid recent tensions between India and Pakistan, the Indian Army shared a video revealing some important details. As per the NavBharat Times report, the video shows that Pakistan tried to cause major damage by launching a missile from its Shaheen series. But the key highlight is that India managed to successfully intercept the missile. This may lead to a question: if India intercepted the Shaheen missile, why hasn’t the debris been shown? The answer lies in India’s advanced defense strategy. It’s not just about stopping threats, but also about how the country handles security and intelligence in a smarter, more strategic way.
An official video released by the Indian Army shows that Pakistan used Shaheen ballistic missiles along with Chinese A-100 and Fateh I/II MLRS weapons during the recent conflict. In retaliation, India fired its own Smerch MLRS. To intercept Pakistan’s Shaheen and other missiles, India employed both the Russian S-400 air defense system and the indigenous Akash missile system. An analysis of the official video released by the Indian Army shows that during the conflict, Pakistan used several powerful weapons against India, including a missile targeted towards a location in the Indian capital, Delhi, reported NavBharat Times.
Shaheen Ballistic Missile: The Shaheen missile is a strategic, nuclear-capable ballistic missile developed by Pakistan, designed specifically to target deep assets inside India. However, the Shaheen missile used by Pakistan in this instance was not armed with a nuclear warhead; it carried a conventional payload for traditional warfare, the report further mentioned.
A-100 MLRS: This is a Chinese-made 300mm Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) with a range of up to 100 kilometers.
Fatah I और Fatah II: These are Pakistan’s indigenously developed precision-guided MLRS (Multiple Launch Rocket Systems). Recently, the Pakistan Air Force upgraded them in collaboration with Chinese scientists.
The use of the Shaheen missile marks a significant shift, as it’s the first time a nuclear-capable weapon was actively launched against India. Furthermore, the report mentioned that India’s air defense systems managed to successfully intercept Pakistan’s Shaheen and Fatah missiles, and many believe that the advanced S-400 system played a key role in stopping them.
