Pakistan Successfully conducted the 1st flight
test of the newly developed Short Range Surface to Surface Multi Tube
Ballistic Missile Hatf IX (NASR). The missile has been developed to add
deterrence value to Pakistan’s Strategic Weapons Development programme
at shorter ranges. NASR, with a range of 60 km, carries nuclear warheads
of appropriate yield with high accuracy, shoot and scoot attributes.
This quick response system addresses the need to deter evolving threats.
The test was witnessed by Director General Strategic
Plans Division, Lieutenant General (Retired) Khalid Ahmed Kidwai,
Chairman NESCOM Mr Irfan Burney, senior officers from the strategic
forces, scientists and engineers of strategic organizations.
On this occasion, the Director General Strategic
Plans Division, Lieutenant General (Retired) Khalid Ahmed Kidwai said
that the test was a very important milestone in consolidating Pakistan’s
strategic deterrence capability at all levels of the threat spectrum.
He said in that hierarchy of military operations, the NASR Weapon System
now provides Pakistan with short range missile capability in addition
to the already available medium and long range ballistic missiles and
cruise missiles in its inventory.
The successful test has also been warmly appreciated
by the President and Prime Minister of Pakistan, who have congratulated
the scientists and engineers on their outstanding success.
