#1 Anyone out there think that some of these cruise missiles are nuclear capable, or will that sort of thing take Pak engineers more time to develop?

#2 "incorporates advanced aerodynamics and avionics..." Getting it to fly is very advanced for the Paks. One can buy cheap "IFR" glass displays that incorporate build in GPS controlled autopilot nowadays, notably from a South Africa manufacturer.

Solution to this seems simple, send false GPS signal to the pak cruise missile and have fun with it. I would have it make a 180 and "return to sender" or someplace nearby where they would appreciate receiving it. Hopefully the sender would have enough time to mutter "rosebud" just before the actual package delivery.

Nah they wouldn't have time, so never mind.
