RAWALPINDI, May 03, Pakistan on Saturday conducted a successful
training launch of the Abdali Weapon System— a surface-to-surface
missile with a range of 450 kilometers as part of Ex INDUS, said ISPR.
The launch was aimed at ensuring the operational readiness of troops and
validating key technical parameters, including the missile’s advanced
navigation system and enhanced manoeuvrability features, said Inter
Services Public Relations (ISPR).
The training launch was witnessed by the Commander Army Strategic Forces
Command, senior officials from the Strategic Plans Division, Army
Strategic Forces Command, as well as scientists and engineers from
Pakistan’s strategic organizations.
The President, Prime Minister, Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee,
and Services Chiefs extended their congratulations to the participating
troops, scientists, and engineers.
They expressed complete confidence in the operational preparedness and
technical proficiency of Pakistan’s Strategic Forces to ensure credible
minimum deterrence and safeguard national security against any
aggression.
The missile test came after Pakistan Army’s top brass reaffirmed the
country’s commitment to peace but made it clear that any attempt to
impose war will be responded in a decisive manner, the Inter-Services
Public Relations (ISPR) said on Friday.
Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Syed Asim Munir presided over a
Special Corps Commanders’ Conference (CCC) at General Headquarters (GHQ)
as the forum conducted a comprehensive review of the prevailing
geo-strategic environment, with particular emphasis on the current
Pakistan-India standoff and the broader regional security calculus.
“While reaffirming Pakistan’s abiding commitment to peace, stability,
and prosperity, the Forum made clear that any attempt to impose war will
be responded to, surely and decisively and aspirations of people of
Pakistan shall be respected at all costs, InshaAllah,” the ISPR said.
It is worth mentioning here India accused Pakistan of the Pahalgam
attack without evidence, which Islamabad has denied with facts and
proof
