ISLAMABAD - The Pakistan Navy has test-fired an indigenously developed missile.
Missile successfully hit its target on land after being launched from the Fast-Attack Craft in North Arabian Sea.
The sea-to-sea/sea-to-land missile is capable to hit its targets in ocean and on the land, according to a statement issued by the Pakistani Navy.
The test speaks volume about Pakistan Navy’s operational preparedness and its capability of manufacturing modern weapons. The landmark development is a step towards reinforcing the policy of credible minimum deterrence through indigenisation and self-reliance.
Vice Chief of Naval Staff Vice-Admiral Kaleem Shaukat witnessed the test-launch and expressed satisfaction on operational preparedness of Pakistan Navy fleet. He also lauded engineers and researchers of the naval forces for playing their role in achieving the landmark achievement.
Last year, the Pakistan Navy successfully test-fired submarine launched cruise missile (SLCM) Babur with a range of 450 kilometres.
