Pakistan said it had successfully test-fired Friday a stealth cruise missile capable of carrying nuclear warheads.
The military said the “Hatf VII” missile had a range of 700 kilometres (438 miles) and was a “low-flying, terrain-hugging missile with high manoeuvrability, pin-point accuracy and radar avoidance features”.
Capable of carrying nuclear warheads, the military said the special feature of Friday’s launch was the validation of a new multi-tube missile launch vehicle (MLV).
“The three tube MLV enhances manifold (times) the targeting and deployment options in the conventional and nuclear modes,” the military said.
