KARACHI: The Pakistan Navy has conducted successful live weapon firing of the Taimoor Air-Launched Cruise Missile — an indigenously developed anti-ship weapon system — in a powerful demonstration of precision strike capability and operational readiness.

The air-launched cruise missile executed its mission with exceptional precision, validating Pakistan Navy’s combat capability to detect, target and decisively neutralise enemy sea-based threats at extended ranges, said a news release issued by the Directorate General Public Relations (Pak Navy). This demonstration by the Pakistan Navy marks a pivotal elevation of national defence capability, further strengthening Pakistan Armed Forces’ multi-dimensional coordinated strike posture and capabilities in the conventional domain.

The president, prime minister of Pakistan, Chief of Defence Forces and services chiefs have congratulated the scientists and engineers on achieving this significant milestone.
