Pakistan Fires 4 Maneuverable Surface to Surface Multi Tube Hatf IX (NASR) Ballistic Missiles

Pakistan Army has fired a Salvo of four Short Range Surface to Surface Multi Tube Hatf IX (NASR) Ballistic Missiles from a single transporter erector launcher (TEL) which an avoid any tactical anti-ballistic missile (ABM) system in the area and still deliver tactical nuclear warhead.

The  Short Range Surface to Surface Multi Tube Hatf IX (NASR) Ballistic Missile is a quick response system which offers Pakistan with “shoot-and-scoot’’ nuclear delivery capability to a distance of 60 kilometers.

Hatf IX NASR  is designed with capability to maneuver throughout its flight to defeat Anti ballistic Missile systems.










Hatf IX NASR is equipped with electro optical homing seeker for terminal guidance to achieve extremely low Circular Error Probable (CEP).

Pakistan test fires Short Range Surface to Surface Missile Hatf IX (NASR)

Pakistan today conducted a successful test fire of Short Range Surface to Surface Missile Hatf IX (NASR). The test fire was conducted with successive launches of two missiles from a state of the art multi tube launcher. NASR, with a range of 60 km, and inflight maneuver capability can carry nuclear warheads of appropriate yield, with high accuracy. 

This quick response system, which can fire a four Missile Salvo ensures deterrence against threats in view of evolving scenarios. Additionally NASR has been specially designed to defeat all known Anti Tactical Missile Defence Systems.

Pakistan Navy Test Fires Land Attack Cruise Missile (LACM)

Chief of the Naval Staff, Admiral Asif Sandila Witnessing the test firing of C-802 Anti-ship Missiles which has range of 180 km.
Pakistan navy (PN) has successfully test fired number of anti-ship missiles and a Land Attack Cruise Missile (LACM) in North Arabian Sea. This new Land Attack Cruise Missile (LACM) was test fired in the presence of Chief of the Naval Staff, Admiral Asif Sandila and Chairman NESCOM Irfan Burney.

Land Attack Cruise Missile (LACM) demonstrated its precision by hitting its target with pinpoint accuracy. Presence of the Chairman NESCOM Irfan Burney during the test of Land Attack Cruise Missile (LACM) indicate that the missile tested was developed by the NESCOM.
One of the tests of the Hatf-VII Babur Ground Launched Land Attack Cruise Missile (GLACM) was conducted from a new round canister instead of the typical box like canister used for the Babur LACM. This  test was considered as a stepping stone towards fielding the long range land attack cruise missile on the ships and submarines of the Pakistan Navy.


NESCOM has already developed Hatf-VII Babur Ground Launched Land Attack Cruise Missile (GLACM) and Hatf-VIII Ra’ad ALCM (Air-Launched Cruise Missile)

CM-400 AKG Supersonic Long Range Anti Ship/Land Attack Missile


The supersonic CM-400 AKG long range anti ship and land attack missile was first displayed along with the at the JF-17 Thunder /FC-1 Xiaolong fighter jet at the China International Aviation & Aerospace Exhibition, Zhuhai 2012 Air Show.

The CM-400 AKG missile ha been developed by the China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC) as a light weight, high speed, long range, air launched missile capable of destroying ground and maritime targets with precision.

The CM-400AKG missile is a fire and forget weapon with range of 180 to 250 kilometers. It is available with different seeker options depending upon the mission profile. Chinese side seems to be offering an active radar seeker and an imaging infrared seeker capable of target-recognition (TR).

It is a single stage, solid rocket-powered high speed missile which can carry penetrator or blast / fragmentation warheads to destroy the fixed or slow moving ground and maritime targets. CM-400AKG can be  pre-programmed to destroy the ground targets with percision by uploading the digital imagery of the target or it can be retargeted using its active radar seeker.

Pakistan Air Force (PAF) has become the first export customer for supersonic CM-400AKG missile. The Deputy Project Director of the JF-17 Thunder/FC-1 Xiaolong fighter jet program, Air Commodore Mahmood Khalid has said, "This is a mature weapon that has been fully tested. It is not conceptual. It is in service. It hits the target at Mach 4 or above and its kinetic impact alone is enough to destroy any high-value target, like an aircraft carrier. The CM-400AKG is a very high-speed missile that is very difficult to intercept."

Pakistan Successfully Tests Multi Tube Hatf-VII Babur Cruise Missile

Pakistan today conducted a successful test fire of the indigenously developed multi tube Cruise Missile Hatf-VII (Babur), having a range of 700 kilometers. Babur Crusie Missile is a low flying, terrain hugging missile, which can strike targets both at Land and Sea with pin point accuracy. It carries stealth features.

The  Multi Tube Cruise Missile Hatf-VII (Babur) has the added capability of real time remote monitoring of a missile's flight path.

Equipped with modern cruise missile technology of Terrain Contour Matching (TERCOM) and Digital Scene Matching and Area Co-relation (DSMAC), it can carry both nuclear and conventional warheads. The missile was launched from a state of the art Multi Tube Missile Launch Vehicle (MLV), which significantly enhances the targeting and deployment options of Babur Weapon system.

The Strategic Command and Control Support System provides decision-makers at the National Command Centre "robust command and control capability of all strategic assets with round the clock situational awareness in a digitised network-centric environment."

The test was witnessed by Director General Strategic Plans Division Lieutunent General (R) Khalid Ahmed Kidwai, Chairman National Engineering and Scientific Commission (NESCOM) Mr. Muhammad Irfan Burney, senior officers from the armed forces and strategic organizations. In today’s test National Command Authority’s fully automated Strategic Command and Control Support System (SCCSS) was once again employed.

It enables robust Command and Control capability of all strategic assets with round the clock situational awareness in a digitized network centric environment to decision makers at National Command Centre (NCC). The system has the added capability of real time remote monitoring of missile flight path. The test consolidates and strengthens Pakistan’s deterrence capability and National security.

The successful test has also been warmly appreciated by the President, Prime Minister of Pakistan and Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee, who have congratulated the scientists and engineers on their outstanding success.
