This is the second such test-launch by Pakistan Army within the last month. On January 23, Pak Army conducted a successful launch of a surface-to-surface ballistic missile ‘Ghaznavi.’

Literally, we have enough to defend ourselves. We should invest our talent in industries and education. Not that, I dislike our forces but we don’t need these missiles that cost more than half our taxes.
You may leave Pakistan, our first priority is ARMY that’s it :
70 Saal Se Aisi He Nizaam Chal Raha hai Warna Aj Hum Par Autom Giiir Chuka hota AMERICA Ka
This launch is by PAF, Air force not by Army
Seems to me it was a failure, the explosives detonate in the air rather on the ground inflicting minima damage, Needs more work on the warhead and its detonation mechanism
So you think they would use a real warhead for testing ??? Wake up dude !!!
Yeah whats the point wasting rocket fuel jsut to test the accuracy, all the parameters are taken to account explosive, damage, accuracy everything, Need i say more? Sleepy!
A real warhead is never used in testing,,,, should the missile vary course and drop elsewhere,, remember its tested for it accuracy in hitting the target,, not obliterating it,,,,
Masha ALLAH.. Well done… Pakistan Zindabaad.
