Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa has congratulated the team and Pakistan Armed forces for the landmark achievement.
Ababeel has a maximum range of 2,200 kilometres and is capable of delivering multiple warheads using Multiple Independent Re-entry Vehicle (MIRV) technology, an ISPR press release said.
The Ababeel test came on the heels of a successful test of submarine-launched cruise missile Babur-III earlier this month.
“The successful attainment of a second strike capability by Pakistan represents a major scientific milestone; it is manifestation of the strategy of measured response to nuclear strategies and postures being adopted in Pakistan’s neighborhood,” the military had said after the Babur-III test.
The missile, launched from an undisclosed location in the Indian Ocean from an underwater, mobile platform, had hit its target with precise accuracy, the Army had said.
Babur-III is a sea-based variant of ground-launched cruise missile Babur-II, which was successfully tested in December last year.
This is a great Achievement for Pakistan, I wonder how that great country is changing and strengthening its economy and defense.Ababeel missile test will help Pakistan grow its importance in the region.
yeah, it will cut down poverty, literacy, child labor, unemployment and countless other issues.
yeah ofcourse , just like your Mangalyan Mission uprooted your problems of poverty,racism,rape and shortage of toilets and dumped them on Mars!!!

At least it gives the nation some confidence after a lot of depressing years. We also hope to resolve our other major problems like education and corruption.

Only FIVE countries of the World i.e US,UK,France,Russia and China had this MIRV technology uptill now. Now Pakistan is the SIXTH country to have it !!!
