Seems like a cooked up "report," it does not have anything new than what was already being ASSUMED back in 1998:ali.uaf said:

I would like to speak with the nameless independent analysts. :crazy
Reports like this really give out wrong and false information and that is not a good thing when we are faced with comparative study of world nuclear powers.

Is anyone heard news,
Pakistan constructed and tested (may be in factory) new mobile multiple launcher for Babur cruise missile. Having capability to fire three Babur cruise missiles.
This news was published on front page of Nawa-I-Waqt daily (Urdu) dated 24 July, 2006.
I searched for electronic version of this but failed. I saved Copy of this newspaper.

Pakistan tests nuclear-capable ballistic missile
ISLAMABAD, March 3 (AFP) Mar 03, 2007
Pakistan on Saturday test-fired a short-range nuclear-capable ballistic missile, its second test within eight days, the military said.
The surface-to-surface Abdali has a range of 200 kilometers (125 miles) and is one of the earliest missile systems developed by Pakistan.
"The test was aimed at validation of the desired technical parameters which has been successfully achieved," the military said in a statement.
Pakistan tested the Shaheen II, or Hatf VI, missile with a range of 2,000 kilometres (1,240 miles) on February 23, two days after signing a historic deal with rival India to cut the risk of atomic weapons accidents.
The neighbours have routinely conducted missile tests since carrying out tit-for-tat nuclear detonations in May 1998.

Pakistan Successfully Tests Nuclear-Capable Missile
Islamabad (AFP) Feb 23, 2007
Pakistan Friday test-fired its longest range nuclear-capable ballistic missile, two days after signing a deal with rival India to cut the risk of atomic weapons accidents, the military said. The Shaheen II, or Hatf VI, missile with a range of 2,000 kilometres (1,240 miles) was launched from an undisclosed location, military spokesman Major General Shaukat Sultan told AFP.
"The test was very successful. It was carried out to validate technical parameters and it hit the target with 100 percent accuracy," Sultan said.
"It is a two-stage solid-fuel-based missile capable of carrying all types of warhead including nuclear."
Pakistan had informed "neighbouring countries" in advance about the missile test, foreign office spokeswoman Tasnim Aslam said. Pakistan is bordered by India, Afghanistan, China and Iran.
"We conduct these tests from time to time according to our requirement and defence needs. It was not meant to convey any message to anyone. It was not any country-specific," she said.
Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf and Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz congratulated the missile's technical team "on its outstanding success," a military statement said.
"The missile test was part of (a) continuous process of validation and technical improvement, which Pakistan follows to consolidate and verify its various land-based strategic missile systems," the statement said.
The test comes at a key time in relations between New Delhi and Islamabad following the firebombing of a cross-border train at midnight Sunday, which killed 68 Pakistanis and Indians.
Pakistan Foreign Minister Khurshid Kasuri went ahead with a visit to India starting on Tuesday, during which the two countries signed the nuclear weapon safeguard agreement.
Friday's missile launch was watched by Pakistan's Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff General Ehsan Ul Haq, who said the test was "an important milestone in Pakistan's quest for sustaining strategic balance in South Asia."
India and Pakistan carried out tit-for-tat nuclear detonations in May 1998 and have routinely conducted missile tests since, even after the start of a slow-moving peace process in January 2004.
The neighbours have fought three wars since independence from Britain in 1947, two of them over the disputed Himalayan territory of Kashmir, which is divided between the two and claimed by both in its entirety.

Here is the Detail
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Thursday successfully test-fired a nuclear-capable cruise missile for the third time, the Inter Services Public Relation(ISPR) said in a statement.
The Hatf VII Babar missile has a range of 700 kilometers (435 miles) and can carry all kinds of warheads, it said in a statement.
"The Babar is a terrain hugging, radar avoiding cruise missile, whose range has now been enhanced to 700 kilometers," it said.
The chairman of Pakistan’s Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee General Ehsan ul Haq, as well as senior military officials and scientists witnessed the test.
Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf and Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz have congratulated the scientists and engineers on this "very important success", it said.
The first test was conducted in 2005 and a second in March last year

On Pakistan Day Prade
Yesterday they test it and today BABUR is also dispalyed at the Pakistan Day Parade to the Peoples and all over the world this is an enhased version with the some range improvemnts also some one say they made a multiple launcher to fire it 3 missiles at the same time intersting (Not conform Yet)..

Yes and there mustbe some improvements in this one as compared to the one which is tested in the beginning of this year.
.Yes and there mustbe some improvements in this one as compared to the one which is tested in the beginning of this year.
u r absolutely right
the latest babur is an improvement over it's last avatar.
this one has a range of 700km & testing is on to further improve the range to 1000-km.
the terrain hugging capability makes the babur -II particularly dangerous, as it can evade radar with utmost ease.

Ahem! Thats what most cruise missiles do! Avoid Radar.
Coming to the article posted by P.A.F, it seems that unsubstantiated claims are being made. The Agostas cannot carry Babur and there has been no effort thus far to integrate the Babur with the aircraft in PAF's inventory as yet.
Well PAF and PN have to spent on much urgent priorities. As far as the integration of BABUR goes there is definitely the possibility and capability to do so in the future. Fact is PAF uses H-1,2 etc and Exocet along with PN which use both Exocet and Harpoon Blk2. So right now they donot need cm s urgently. Once Babur has considerable range and we have new patforms in service such as JF-17, J-10 and f-16s then we will no doubt see this CM integrated with those aircrafts and new subs which are also in the pipeline. So yes right now they are focusing on the missile and its capabilities itseld rather than the integration but point is that this is a long term GOAL which they will never overlook .
.
with the induction of babur, pakistan must master the art of the High-low Technique to counter the indian barak.
the high-low technique , where one missile is fired high to distract radar while the other fired low, to sink the ship, may be used against all such systems such as Barak, Phalanx, etc.
such a technique can be extremely effective with cruise missiles that are radar or optically guided & is deadly against naval targets.
the 'Barak' system is not as effective as first thought. it's short range is a major handicap against advanced cruise-missiles like the babur,
this point can be proved by the recent incident of the Ahi-Hanit , where the barak proved ineffective.
