Understanding Pakistan's Concerns about India's Agni-V MIRV Technology ,Urges Pakistan to Fast-Track Ababeel program
Defense News ,Pakistan :- Dr. Zafar Nawaz Jaspal, a professor and analyst from Pakistan, recently talked about how Pakistan sees India's latest missile test. India tested a missile called Agni-V with something called Multiple Independently Targetable Reentry Vehicle (MIRV) technology.
Dr. Jaspal, in an article for Arab News, worries about what this test means for Pakistan's safety. He says that this MIRV technology makes India more powerful. It means India can hit cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Islamabad with just one missile.
He points out that India could already attack anywhere in Pakistan with its current missiles. But with MIRV, it gets trickier. Now, one missile can carry many warheads, making it harder for Pakistan to defend itself.
Dr. Jaspal says there's a danger of both countries starting a missile race. India's defense systems are getting better, which could make Pakistan want to make its own MIRV technology. This could make the region less safe.
He ends by saying that India's new technology might make Pakistan speed up its own missile program, like Ababeel. This program aims to give Pakistani missiles MIRV capabilities. Dr. Jaspal thinks it's important for both countries to be on equal footing to avoid conflict and keep the region stable.
