Pakistan Successfully Conducts Training Launch of Shaheen-II Ballistic Missile
Today's training launch follows the routine practice of the country's security forces conducting regular test launches of various missiles in its arsenal.
On Tuesday, Pakistan successfully carried out a training launch of the Shaheen-II surface-to-surface ballistic missile, further bolstering the nation’s defense capabilities.
The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) stated that the launch was intended to train troops, validate various technical parameters, and assess the performance of different sub-systems integrated for enhanced accuracy and improved survivability.
The launch was witnessed by senior officers from the Strategic Plans Division, Army Strategic Forces Command, scientists and engineers of strategic organisations.
In response to the Shaheen-II launch, the Director General of the Strategic Plans Division praised the technical expertise, dedication, and commitment of the scientists who played a key role in this significant achievement.
Additionally, President Asif Ali Zardari, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee General Sahir Shamshad Mirza, and the chiefs of the three armed services also extended their congratulations to the scientists and engineers for this accomplishment.
Today’s training launch follows the routine practice of the country’s security forces conducting regular test launches of various missiles in its arsenal.
Last month, the Pakistan Navy showcased its combat readiness with the successful live weapon firing of FN-6 surface-to-air missiles (SAM) in Karachi.
During the impressive firepower demonstration, the PN’s Ground-Based Air Defense (GBAD) system launched SAMs, effectively engaging the designated airborne targets.
