RAWALPINDI: Pakistan Army on Friday inducted A-100 rocket in Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) of its Corps of Artillery.
Media wing of the armed forces, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said that a-100 rocket had been indigenously developed by Pakistani scientists and engineers.
“With over 100 kilometres range, the rocket is highly effective and potent for interdiction that can effectively disrupt enemy’s mobilisation and assembly,” ISPR said.
Chief of the Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa was the chief guest at the induction ceremony. Speaking on the occasion, he paid tribute to scientists and engineers for indigenously developing A- 100 rocket which shall augment the existing conventional firepower capabilities of Pakistan Army.
The COAS emphasised Pakistan Army’s resolve to strengthen conventional forces to meet the challenges of full-spectrum threat.
He said that Pakistan’s defence industry had maintained steady progress in recent times and had contributed to the defence of the motherland.
