Pakistan Navy Successfully Tests Indigenous Anti-Ship Ballistic Missile, Strengthening Maritime Defence

Pakistan Navy Conducts Successful Test of Advanced Indigenous Missile

The Pakistan Navy has achieved a significant milestone by successfully testing a locally developed anti-ship ballistic missile capable of striking targets at long distances, according to an official statement released by ISPR.

The test demonstrated the Navy’s growing capability in precision warfare, as the missile was launched from a naval platform and accurately hit its designated target at high speed. Officials described the exercise as a clear reflection of Pakistan’s preparedness and advanced strike capabilities.

Senior leadership, including Chief of the Naval Staff Admiral Naveed Ashraf, along with top scientists and engineers, witnessed the launch, highlighting the importance of collaboration between defence forces and technical experts.

The missile system is equipped with modern guidance technology and enhanced maneuverability, allowing it to adjust in real-time, avoid threats, and strike with high accuracy. This advanced design enables it to operate effectively in complex and dynamic combat scenarios.

According to ISPR, the successful test represents a strong combination of technological innovation and operational excellence. It also reinforces Pakistan Navy’s commitment to maintaining a credible deterrence capability at sea while ensuring regional stability.

Top leadership, including President Asif Ali Zardari, Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif, and military chiefs, praised the teams involved in achieving this important development.

Officials also noted that the missile system has the capability to engage both sea-based and land targets with precision, further enhancing Pakistan’s defence posture.

This latest test builds on previous trials conducted last year and signals continued progress in indigenous defence technology.
