Pakistan has successfully conducted a test of an indigenously developed anti-ship ballistic missile capable of striking targets on both land and sea with high precision. According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the missile features state-of-the-art guidance and advanced maneuvering capabilities, enhancing its ability to evade enemy radar. The test, observed by Navy Chief Admiral Naveed Ashraf along with senior scientists and engineers, marks a significant milestone in Pakistan’s defense technology development. The ISPR described the launch as evidence of Pakistan Navy’s technological competence and its steadfast commitment to safeguarding national interests. This test follows another successful trial two months earlier of the domestically produced Fatah-IV cruise missile, which has a range of 700 kilometers. Analysts suggest the new missile will significantly boost Pakistan’s naval strike capability and deterrence posture in the region.
