PTI, Islamabad :
Pakistan today successfully test-fired short range surface-to-surface missile ‘Hatf IX’ that has a range of 60 kilometres and can cover parts of India.
The test of the missile also called Nasr was conducted with successive launches of four missiles from a state-of-the-art Multi Tube Launcher with Salvo Mode, the military said.
Hatf with in-flight manoeuvre capability as well as shoot and scoot attributes is a quick response system. It contributes to the full spectrum deterrence against the prevailing threat spectrum.
Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee, General Rashad Mahmood, congratulated the scientists and engineers on achieving yet another milestone towards Pakistan’s deterrence capability.
