ISPR mentioned that modern cruise missiles can travel at supersonic or high subsonic speeds.

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.’

The training launch was part of a field training exercise of Army Strategic Forces Command for rehearsing the operational readiness procedures during day and night, said ISPR.


  • 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 :

  • 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

      • 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,,,,

  • Yesterday on 5:15 PM at Rawalpindi i have witnessed a object flying toward west it has a huge smoke line backward. It was not a turbojet engine the missile have solid fuel engine and it was a supersonic missile like barhamos and have greater range. But details have not shared
