The Ghauri-III is an intermediate-range ballistic missile being developed by Pakistan. Based on the previous Ghauri I and II missiles, it has three liquid fuel rocket stages. Currently its range is longer than any other ballistic missile in Pakistan's arsenal. The Ghauri-III reportedly started development around 1999 [2] with a planned range of over 3,000 km.[3] [4] Few details are known, but Ghauri III is presumed to be road mobile, being transported and launched by a transporter erector launcher. The warhead, like other Pakistani ballistic missiles, is believed to be either conventional or nuclear and guided by an inertial guidance system.
In late May 2004 it was reported that the missile would be to be ready for testing in June of that year, but it was not tested by the end of 2010.[5] One of the causes, of the missile not being tested, is the continued international pressureGhauri-III - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
