Pak behind Iran missile test: Israeli expert

Israeli security experts suspect Pakistani hand in the technological advances shown by Iran in its latest Sejil-2 missile test, which with a

range of 2,000km can hit Israel, southern Europe and American bases in the Middle East.

Yiftah Shapir of the Institute for National Security Studies at Tel Aviv University was quoted by daily Ha’aretz as saying that Sejil 2 is closer to a Pakistani missile, unlike the Shehab 3 tested by Iran earlier which was based on Soviet and North Korean Scud technology. “It is closer to a Pakistani missile, the Shaheen II”, Shapir said.

Re: Pak behind Iran missile test: Israeli expert

and what does israel say about signing any treaty for nuclear arsenal inspection ? or was it a dream conjured up by Vanunu (for which crime he was jailed).

Re: Pak behind Iran missile test: Israeli expert

if nothing else, this statement does prove that they carefully watch and fully aware of Pakistan nuke and missles plans.

Iran has pak nuke help, now have help in missle, also behind the korean nukes. Is Pakistan some kind of hidden super power??

if true then may be we are!

Re: Pak behind Iran missile test: Israeli expert

So Isreal can help India but Pak can't help Iran? Hypocrites!

Hey at one time Pak was also behind Eyraqs WMD program then suddenly the newJ disappeared I wonder what happened :D

Re: Pak behind Iran missile test: Israeli expert

PAK & ISI, both are behind everything......:D

Re: Pak behind Iran missile test: Israeli expert

The question is why would have Pakistan done it ? (if it has at all) What did Iran have to offer Pakistan in return.

Oil or....................... Dolloars, what else?

Re: Pak behind Iran missile test: Israeli expert

Is Pakistan some sort of Super Power???

Good on them, I say they should help as many responsible muslim countries as possible.

Iran should be able to take on Isreal is what we want....

Enemey's enemy is your friend ;)

Money & dollars alone are never enough in dealings between geo-political entities of equal stature.

That would have been a very irresponsible reason.

I think hints of an answer may be in these articles…

Asia Times Online :: South Asia news, business and economy from India and Pakistan

Asia Times Online :: South Asia news, business and economy from India and Pakistan

I can think of one more reason, but we have to wait & see.

Re: Pak behind Iran missile test: Israeli expert

Pakistan has previously been caught proliferating, so this is no surprise. This sort of exploits is one of the reasons to keep a very close watch on all moves in Pakistan, whether by the government or by terrorist outfits there

Re: Pak behind Iran missile test: Israeli expert

^^

I don't know why Indians are so worried if Pakistan is helping Iran, If Russia does so, no body speaks... Why?

Iran is a legal country, having a democratically elected govt. yes they don't like Isreal and yes they do like to build up their defense system, they can ask assistance from any country they like. On the other hand, Pakistan has some thing to offer.. why the back side of Indians at fire... is there something wrong or these kind of cooperation between the two countries create hurdle in Indian plans.. who bTW is having problem controlling its own country...

Re: Pak behind Iran missile test: Israeli expert

Business is Business. Nothing personal. Just like how the US is selling dual purpose technology to India.

Re: Pak behind Iran missile test: Israeli expert

Iran is pisses me off, these days.

Re: Pak behind Iran missile test: Israeli expert

This is just an observation by an Israeli expert. There is no reason to make a big deal about it.

As long as Pak is doing it legally, what's the problem ? Defence cooperation between nations is pretty routine.

Re: Pak behind Iran missile test: Israeli expert

Both Pakistani and Iranian missiles are based off copies of North Korean missiles

Pakistan probably helped them reverse engineer some of the missile components

No biggie.....

Our missiles are aimed at India....which are sufficent enough to deal a punishing blow to India while Iranian missiles are aimed USA and Israel against which they are useless.....

Re: Pak behind Iran missile test: Israeli expert

^the reference here is to the solid fueled shaheen ll not the scud type initially traded from north korea.

this is a biggie because these technologies are hard to develop. its very possible iran has had direct help from pakistan or has aquired pak designs by way of intelligence.

pakistan sits pretty comfortable with this class of missiles. although non of the non superpowers will publically test the next distance range up from this, which would bring dc in range, the technology is the same.

just give the palestinians their land back!

Has Russia threatened to wipe any country of the face of the earth? Iran has issued that threat against Israel more than once.

You're also wrong about Iran's democratically elected govt. The power is held by the ayatollah which multiplies fears of Islamic extremism combining with wmd
