Commander Pakistan Fleet Rear Admiral Abdul Munib witnessed the exercise aboard a Pakistan Navy fleet unit.
Commending the officers and personnel for their professionalism, dedication, and operational competence, Rear Admiral Munib emphasized the Navy’s unwavering commitment to safeguarding Pakistan’s maritime interests and ensuring seaward defense under all circumstances.
The Pakistan Navy, like other branches of the armed forces, frequently conducts live-fire drills to enhance operational capabilities. Last month, it successfully tested an indigenously developed ship-launched anti-ship ballistic missile.
The advanced weapon system capable of engaging both sea and land targets with high accuracy, features state-of-the-art guidance technology along with enhanced manoeuvrability for improved performance in complex operational environments.
Meanwhile, before that, the Pakistan Army on September 30 successfully conducted a training launch of the newly-inducted indigenously developed Fatah-4, a ground-launched cruise missile at a range of 750 kilometres.
Equipped with advanced avionics and state-of-the-art navigational aids, this weapon system is capable of evading an enemy's missile defence system due to terrain-hugging features and engaging targets with high precision.
