Pak successfully test-fires Hatf-VIII missile | Pakistan has successfully conducted a test flight of the indigenously developed Air Launched Cruise Missile
Hatf-VIII (Ra'ad) on Thursday, said an ISPR statement. The Ra'ad Missile has a
range of over 350 km, enabling Pakistan to achieve a strategic standoff capability
on land and at sea, reports The News. The state of the art Ra'ad Cruise Missile
with stealth capabilities is a low altitude, terrain-hugging missile with high
maneuverability, and can deliver nuclear and conventional warheads with pin-point
accuracy, stated the paper. According to the ISPR statement, a major additional
feature of the test was the effective employment of the National Command Authority's
fully automated Strategic Command and Control Support System (SCCSS). It has enabled
robust command and control capability of all strategic assets with round the clock
situational awareness in a digitized network centric environment to decision makers
at National Command Centre (NCC). The system has the added capability of real
time remote monitoring of missile flight path. President Asif Ali Zardari and
Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani congratulated the scientists and engineers on
their outstanding achievement.
