Pakistan Navy has successfully conducted a live weapon firing test of a locally developed ship-launched anti-ship ballistic missile. The test showed the country’s growing capability in advanced defense technology and its ability to strike targets with high precision over long distances and at high speed.
The missile accurately hit its target during the exercise, proving its strong guidance system and maneuverability. These features make it more effective in tracking and engaging targets at sea. This development is considered an important step in strengthening Pakistan’s sea-based deterrence and overall defense readiness in the conventional domain.
Chief of Naval Staff Admiral Naveed Ashraf was present to witness the live firing. He appreciated the efforts of the naval team, engineers, and scientists who contributed to the successful test.
Top national leadership also praised this achievement. The President, Prime Minister, Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee, and the Services Chiefs all congratulated the teams involved. They recognized the hard work and dedication behind developing this advanced missile system within the country.
Officials stated that such progress reflects Pakistan’s commitment to strengthening its defense capabilities through indigenous development. It also highlights the importance of modern technology in ensuring maritime security and protecting national interests.
