Fayyaz Muhammad | 8 years ago | Reply Testing any missile is not a problem, it's in fact publicisng and making others acknowledge your amunition capabilities which send warning to your foes, as simple as that. As for names, names do not ensure any victory or threat, it is the material and spirit with which armies take on their enemies.
