?? why are they always using arabic names vs farsi/urdu names - harbah etc etc.

Because our source code is in Arabic

And, subduing the international pressure on Pak for he has proven himself to be much more crazier!!! Now, it's in everybody's interest to keep Pak on the board...

Sir he is blessing in disguise for us.

We can use solid fuel for it

it will change its role, trajectory, and range,

Exactly !!!! Many people are not able to comprehend the magnitude of this development. And if we increase the range of this missile to 1000 KM, it could make sure all the Indian cities in the south which never used to get touched in previous wars come under the range.

Exactly !!!! Many people are not able to comprehend the magnitude of this development. .

This is good development . We can target in short time due to fast attack . Good combination I say, Terrain hugging , radar avoiding missile + fast attack craft boat.

This is not ground-breaking or something. Harbah is Babur-1B/2's Ship-launched version, already tested with a radar seeker.



Typical fanboyism. Pay your taxes and get all the 1000s of kilometers you want.


Harbah is Babur-1B/2 derivative AShM/LACM. Zarb is C-602 coastal AShM.


You just gave rajfortyseven enough ammunition to rant for the next entire month on how this missile is fake.


Cruise missiles have wings. We have had this since 2005, nothing new.

Same Navigational Warning issued for tomorrow.

Pakistan Navy flexes land attack capabilities in Arabian Sea

Key Points

• The Pakistan Navy has conducted another test-firing of an indigenously developed cruise missile
• The weapon is being tested amid heightened tensions with India over the long-standing Kashmir dispute

The Pakistan Navy has conducted another test-firing of what appears to be a shipborne variant of an indigenously developed cruise missile.

The weapon was fired from its latest Azmat-class patrol craft, PNS Himmat (1027), in the North Arabian Sea, the Pakistan Armed Forces' official media communications group known as the inter-services public relations (ISPR) office revealed on 23 April.

In January 2018, Himmat conducted a similar test-firing of the weapon. On both occasions, the ISPR office stopped short of disclosing the type of missile used in the firings, only noting that it has anti-ship and land-attack capabilities, and that the weapon has been developed in-country.

The test announced in April 2019 was also described as one that has "accurately hit its target on land", but no further details were given on this, including the type of target deployed, and its distance from Himmat at the time of firing.

Images of the launch released by the ISPR office suggest a weapon length of between 6 m and 7 m, when taken in relation to Himmat 's overall beam. Based on its visible markings, it is probable that the missile is the 'Harbah', which is shipborne variant of Pakistan's indigenously developed Hatf 7 (Babur) short-range cruise missile.

Pakistan is known to be pursuing air-, ship-, and submarine-launched variants of the Babur cruise missile to complement its line-up of longer-ranged ballistic missiles.
