RAWALPINDI: Pakistan on Tuesday “successfully” carried out the training launch of the Ghauri Weapon System in a bid to test the “operational and technical readiness” of Army Strategic Forces Command (ASFC), announced the military’s media wing in a statement.

As per the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the launch was overseen by the ASFC commander, senior officers from the strategic forces, scientists and engineers of strategic organisations.

The commander lauded the standard of training and operational preparedness of the force, which he stated was “reflected by proficient handling of the weapon system in the field and achievement of operational and technical objectives”. 

He also appreciated the scientists and engineers for their contributions towards the enhancement of Pakistan’s strategic capability.

The ISPR said that following the test the president, prime minister, chairman joint chiefs of staff and services chiefs congratulated the troops, scientists and engineers on the successful conduct of the training launch.

The Ghauri missile having a range of up to 1,300 kilometres was tested first by Pakistan in 2018 and can carry both conventional and nuclear warheads.

Furthermore, today’s training launch comes days after Pakistan further strengthened its “deterrence” and enhanced “strategic stability” with the successful flight test of the Ababeel Weapon System.

“The test flight was aimed at re-validating various design, technical parameters and performance evaluation of different sub-systems of the weapon system,” the ISPR had said.
