Pakistan Navy successfully test-fires locally developed ship-launched anti-ship missile

Karachi: The Pakistan Navy has successfully test-fired a locally developed ship-launched anti-ship missile, which can engage targets at an extended range, the military said on Thursday.

In a statement, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the media wing of the military, said that the missile integrates a cutting-edge guidance system and advanced maneuverability, enabling it to "evade threats, adapt to dynamic conditions, and deliver with precision and lethality".

"Pakistan Navy successfully conducted a live weapon firing of an indigenously developed ship-launched anti-ship missile, accurately engaging its target with high speed at extended range," it said.


It said that the successful launch of the locally developed missile underscores the "fusion of technological excellence and operational expertise."

Chief of the Naval Staff Admiral Naveed Ashraf, along with leading scientists and engineers, witnessed the missile firing.

The previous test of the missile was conducted in November last year.

The ISPR said the weapon system is capable of engaging targets both at sea and on land "with high precision".
