This is similar to a howitzer modification kit from a private Chinese company.

This kit can convert conventional 120-155mm howitzer shells into loitering munitions. The price of the modification kit is approximately 1000-2000 RMB, not including the cost of the howitzer shell itself.

03 January, 2026: Pakistan Air Force has successfully conducted the flight test of the indigenously developed Taimoor Weapon System, marking another significant milestone in the advancement of national aerospace and defence capabilities. Taimoor Air-Launched Cruise Missile is capable of engaging enemy land and sea targets with high precision at a range of 600 kilometers, carrying a conventional warhead. Equipped with state-of-the-art navigation and guidance system, Taimoor is designed to fly at very low altitudes, enabling it to effectively evade hostile air and missile defence systems. Its precision-strike capability significantly enhances the conventional deterrence and operational flexibility of Pakistan Air Force, further strengthening the country’s overall defence posture. The successful flight test underscores the technical maturity, innovation and self-reliance achieved by Pakistan’s defence industry. The launch was witnessed by senior officers of the Pakistan Armed Forces, along with distinguished scientists and engineers who played a pivotal role in the development of this advanced weapon system.

Air Chief Marshal Zaheer Ahmed Baber Sidhu, Chief of the Air Staff, Pakistan Air Force, heartily congratulated the scientists, engineers and the entire PAF team on this remarkable achievement. He lauded their professional excellence, dedication and unwavering commitment to strengthening Pakistan’s defence capabilities. The Air Chief reaffirmed that such accomplishments are a testament to the nation’s resolve to achieve technological self-sufficiency and maintain a credible conventional deterrent in the evolving regional security environment. The successful test of the Taimoor weapon system reflects Pakistan Air Force’s continued pursuit of operational readiness, technological superiority and national security objectives

taimoor IIR, interesting

Personally I feel Ghauri Ghaznavi and Timur are poor names for Pakistani missiles and reflect a confused identity and a bad understanding of history. The only name that is relevant is Babur. I would have preferred non historical names for the missiles. Anyways back to topic.

To be fair they massacred a whole bunch of Hindus, they were all BRUTAL against Hindus

And what's the point of our weapons if not to kill the Hindu enemy

The names in that sense are very apt

Expect Harbah cruise missile with IIR seeker test by Pakistan Navy. Most probably Sea-To-Land Test.

taimoor IIR, interesting

The most interesting detail for me is the mention of sea targets, as well as land, which would explain the IIR.

 

[AeronautIR]

Is it just me or the missile looks too bulky? like as compared to the scalp its huge...
Maybe we are using less efficient turbines,bulky batteries and what not???

It weighs 200 kg less than SCALP.

 

[hasssanali8998]

It weighs 200 kg less than SCALP.

and has 50km more range

 

[Bratva]

Precision guidance needs more work I guess. It fell outside the white circle. If it is for large hangers, it is acceptable, but if It is to target jaishankar/modi with precise travelling through window precision, then it is lacking there.

It’s similar to LS/LT series and other range extension kits from China.

Is ATR possible or is it same as h4?

 

[Bratva]

H4 has a TV seeker. Pakistan has been working on IIR for last couple years. The issue was maturing and mass production of IIR seeker. This IIR seeker was displayed by GIDS at one of the exhibitions. Range of seeker is 10-20 KM IIRC.
