The Pakistan Navy successfully tests a ship-launched ballistic missile <to bolster A2/AD deterrent.>

The Pakistan Navy on Tuesday conducted a successful test of an indigenously developed ship-launched ballistic missile, according to the military’s media affairs wing.

According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the weapon system is capable of engaging targets both at sea and on land “with high precision”.

“The system is equipped with state-of-the-art guidance and advanced maneuverability features,” the ISPR said in a statement.

“The flight test was witnessed by Admiral Naveed Ashraf, Chief of the Naval Staff, senior scientists and engineers.”

The ISPR deemed the successful test launch “a testimony to Pakistan’s technological prowess and Pakistan Navy’s unwavering commitment to safeguard national interests”.

According to the statement, President Asif Ali Zardari, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Chief of Army Staff Field Marshal Asim Munir, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee General Shamshad Mirza and service chiefs congratulated the participating units and scientists on the test.

On September 30 this year, the Pakistan Army successfully conducted a training launch of a newly inducted, indigenously-produced Fatah-4 cruise missile at a range of 750 kilometres, the military’s media wing said.

“Equipped with advanced avionics and state-of-the-art navigational aids, this weapon system is capable of evading [the] enemy’s missile defence system due to terrain-hugging features and engaging targets with high precision,” the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said in a statement.

I don’t have the numbers to justify but the first impression from the video… Smash 2 seems to be much faster than original smash.

I think it will be a game changer in Operation Sindoor 2.0. Since the prime focus on Op Sindoor will be naval.
