Indigenously developed : Pakistan tests cruise missile Ra’ad

RAWALPINDI: Pakistan conducted a successful Flight Test of the indigenously developed Air Launched Cruise Missile (ALCM) ‘Ra’ad’ on Tuesday. The Ra’ad ALCM, with a range of 350 Km, enables Pakistan to achieve air delivered strategic standoff capability on land and at sea. The state-of-the-art Ra’ad ALCM is equipped with highly advanced guidance and navigation system that ensures engagement of targets with pinpoint accuracy. The terrain hugging low level flight maneuvers enable it to avoid detection and engagement by contemporary air defence systems. The President and the Prime Minister have congratulated the scientists and engineers for their outstanding achievement on the conduct of a successful flight test.
