The Pakistan Air Force has successfully tested the Taimoor Weapon System, which was developed in Pakistan and can hit targets up to 600 kilometres away, according to an announcement made on Saturday.

The army said this launch is another important step forward for the country’s aerospace and defense abilities. The Taimoor Air-Launched Cruise Missile can accurately strike enemy targets on land and at sea within a 600 kilometer range and carries a conventional warhead.

It uses advanced navigation and guidance technology and is designed to fly at very low altitudes, helping it avoid enemy air and missile defenses. Its ability to strike with precision greatly improves the Pakistan Air Force’s deterrence and flexibility, making the country’s defense stronger overall.

The army said the successful test shows the technical skill, innovation, and independence of Pakistan’s defense industry. Senior officers from the Pakistan Armed Forces, along with top scientists and engineers who helped develop the weapon, watched the launch.

Air Chief Marshal Zaheer Ahmed Baber Sidhu congratulated the scientists, engineers, and the entire Air Force team for their achievement. Sidhu praised their professionalism, dedication, and strong commitment to making Pakistan’s defense stronger.
