Pakistan test-fires surface-to-surface missile

<div class='bbimg'></div>

PAKISTAN has test-fired a short-range surface-to-surface nuclear-capable missile, the military said in a statement.

"A successful test fire of the indigenously developed short range surface to surface ballistic missile Hatf-II Abdali was conducted today," it said on Sunday.

The Abdali missile can reach a target of 200 kilometers (120 miles) and can carry nuclear and other types of warheads, the statement said.

It said India had been given prior notification of the launch, as agreed last year before all ballistic missile tests are conducted.

President Pervez Musharraf hailed the test and congratulated the scientists and engineers on their "outstanding achievement," it added.

Pakistan and India conducted tit-for-tat test nuclear detonations in 1998 and came to the brink of war in 2002.

The historical rivals, who have already fought three wars, routinely carry out tests of nuclear-capable missiles.

Since this is a surface to surface nuclear-capable missile, they can be effectively used against the enemy&#39;s bases and where bunch of military production is going on. I saw a video once during Gulf War an F-16 bombed the place near the bridge which was a way to get into Baghdad and near that bridge i believe it was a stong holding place, and F-16 destroyed it like a piece of cake.

Missile rocket ia a new term for me.

In a written statement, declared today by the Pakistan Army, land to land Hatf 2 / Abdali missile’s technical parameters were confirmed.
I beleive they meant surface to surface.

The announcement of the rocket testing at time when State President Pervez Musharraf will start a five day China trip, drew attention.
