Shaheen II test-fired

RAWALPINDI: Pakistan carried out a successful test fire of its long-range surface-to-surface missile Shaheen II (Hatf VI) on Saturday.

The missile system that incorporates an advanced two-stage solid motor technology can carry all types of conventional and nuclear warheads to a range of 2,000 kilometres. The test was carried out to verify some refined technical parameters. All parameters were validated.

President Pervez Musharraf, who witnessed the test, congratulated the scientists and engineers, saying the nation was proud of its strategic organisations and forces that had gelled extremely well under the National Command Authority into an effective deterrence force in a span of five years. app
