Recently, the pakistan Army tested its Shaheen-3 missile, but the experiment failed miserably. The missile missed its target and exploded near a nuclear center in Dera Ghazi Khan (Punjab province). At the same time, its debris fell in Dera Bugti district of Balochistan, which was very close to human settlements. This incident not only raises questions on Pakistan's military capability, but human lives were also put in danger. However, this is not the first time in the world that a missile has gone astray, but it was once seen in india as well.
When and what happened?
The date was 9 march 2022 when the whole country was shocked when an indian missile reached Pakistan. Most people would be aware that India's supersonic cruise missile accidentally fell in Mian Channu in punjab province of Pakistan. Immediately after this, india issued a statement that this happened by mistake. Actually what happened was that the Brahmos missile took off from Ambala in haryana and reached pakistan after covering a distance of 124 km.
How and why did this accident happen?
Later when this matter was investigated, it was found that this accident happened due to technical fault. The indian air Force said that the combat connectors of the missile were left connected to the junction box. Due to this, it was launched inadvertently. But it was called a mistake, but due to this incident, some officers of the indian air Force were also suspended. At the same time, due to this, the weak defense system of pakistan was also exposed.
There was no warhead
This missile launched by mistake by india did not have any warhead i.e. no weapon. The result of this was that pakistan did not suffer any loss of life or property. But only a wall of their place was broken. At the same time, india also suffered an economic loss of Rs 24-25 crore. But this made it completely clear what is the condition of Pakistan's air defense system.
How powerful is Brahmos?
The power of Brahmos and its special feature is the speed of the missile. Due to this speed, it is very difficult to attack or avoid the Brahmos missile. The thing to note here is that when the Brahmos missile fell in pakistan, the forensic experts there tried to decode it along with the experts, so that they can also make a missile like Brahmos.
