Pakistan tests its first cruise missile
Pakistan successfully tested yesterday a nuclear-capable, ground-launched cruise missile, which has a range of 500 km, a military spokesman said. Pakistan reached an agreement last week with nuclear armed rival India to inform each other about missile tests but military spokesman Major-General Shaukat Sultan said the agreement did not cover the cruise missile, called “Babur”.
“We don’t have to inform neighbouring countries in this case. It is not a ballistic missile and it doesn’t fall under the agreement,” he said. The Babur is a terrain-hugging missile that can avoid radar detection, the military said. Pakistan and India tested nuclear weapons in 1998.
