Pakistan tests Raad air-to-surface cruise missile

In Pakistan, a successful Flight Test of the natively developed Air Launched Cruise Missile, Hatf-VIII (Ra’ad), has been conducted performed.


Due to the ongoing process of developing better technical parameters of the weapon system, the test was performed. The newly developed Ra’ad missile has a range of over 350 km, and has been exclusively developed to launch from Aerial Platforms.

The missile makes use of Cruise Technology. This technology is extremely complex however, and only a few specific countries in the world have been able to develop it. This new system allows Pakistan to expand their possibilities on grounds of strategic standoff capability on land and at sea.

The Ra’ad has access to state of the art technology such as Stealth. It’s flies on a low altitude, ‘Hugging Terrain’ with high maneuverability, and has the ability to pinpoint targets with high accuracy, by using nuclear and conventional warheads.

The President, the Prime Minister of Pakistan, and the Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee have appreciated the successful launch of the missile, and have congratulated the engineers and scientists on their amazing achievement.

    TRUTH IS; THAT which IS as WAS and WILL be AS IS eternally. SO indiA or PAKISTAN spending ANY single pie on defense equipment against Each OTHER is taking away / Snatching AWAY of THE piece of ROTI from a POOR HUman’s Plate, tearing a page from a Blind human student’s Braille Book of study. Merge with the TRUTH and STOP this WAR games and LETS LIVE TOGETHER in PARADISE ON EARTH THAT IS HERE, IS here leading the LIFE in a CHARIOT OF KNOWLEDGE.

    It is funny. When Pakistan does a test like this. An Indian will start lamenting about the poor people of both countries and how they need more resources than our armies. But when India does a similar test, than they are proud of the army.
    Hypocrisy at play.

    It is good that our civilian scientist are working hard and are providing technologically modern missles and other warfare.
    Our army which is the strongest institutions of our country whose budget probably takes the biggest chunk of the Total annual Pakistan’s budget.
    The country is also a Nuclear power. But still I don’t understand that few months ago, few of he helicopters of a foreign country intruded inside the country’s airspace, travelled through about an hour, landed inside a house near the Garison, took action for about 45 minutes, killed few people, took a deadbody with them, travelled back to their destination outside Pakistan undetected.
    I just don’t understand the purpose of high spendings in developing modern warfare when our friends/enemies can easily violate our airspace and cause severe damage to our sovereignty.
    Or are we a Sovereign state.
