Pakistan successfully test-fires ground-to-sea missile
Pakistan has successfully test-fired ground-to-sea missile.

According to spokesperson of Pakistan Navy, the missile, equipped with modern technology and avionics, accurately hit the target in the sea.

The induction of the missile would help strengthen country's defence and operational capabilities of Pakistan Navy.

Vice Chief of Naval Staff Admiral Khan Hisham Bin Siddique witnessed the test firing of the missile.

Details to follow.

This is the third missile test in last few months. On January 24, Pakistan test-fired 2,200-kilometre range indigenously-developed surface to surface nuclear-capable missile Ababeel. The missile is capable of delivering multiple warheads, using Multiple Independent Re-entry Vehicle (MIRV) technology.

The Ababeel test flight was aimed at validating various design and technical parameters of the weapon system.

During the same month, submarine-launched cruise missile Babur-III was successfully test-fired. Babur weapons system incorporates advanced aerodynamics and avionics that can strike targets both at land and sea with high accuracy .

Babur-III is a low flying, terrain hugging missile, which carries certain stealth features and is capable of carrying various types of warheads.

This announcement doesn't say "new" or "indigenous". So looks like Pakistan tested CM-302 which has range of 280KM, is super-sonic land based anti-ship missile. That is a beast in itself and has supersonic flight throughout the journey.

CM-302 would have been NEW for us as we do not have these. We have C-602 (that too is unconfirmed/unofficial and is most probably known as Zarb Missile)

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

it seems it was a training launch of Zarb missile ....

 

[CHACHA"G"]

So its look like ZARB-II or Improve ZARB "basically Training" still We welcome this.
One question, What is the flight altitude of Zarb (c-602)? Warning Issue for 1.5km only.

 

[graphican]

Oh I see. So C-602 another time.

I think some sort of misreporting by The Nation .... as the NAVAREA warring had just 1.5 KM attitude restriction plus other media outlets are reporting Land based anti-ship missile test

[Mrc]

I wont b surprised at all if none of the nations editorial boards knows that anti aircraft and anti ship are 2 different things

no report on news channels..

It is on TV already.

However do not pay too much attention to the video. The missile shown in the video is certainly not what we tested today.
The one in video looks like a ballistic missile and it may be the video from Ababeel test a few weeks ago.

which missile is this?

 

[hussain0216]

People are guessing what it is but no real confirmation

 

[Windjammer]

which missile is this?

The video is of some older missile test, waiting for details.
