Pakistan test-fires Hatf-7 nuke missile

Pakistan carried out a successful test-firing on Tuesday, June 5 of its Hatf-7 "Babur" nuclear-capable cruise missile, RIA Novosti reported citing GEO-TV.

The weapon was fired from a mobile launcher, from an undisclosed location.

Babur is a highly accurate Pakistani-developed cruise missile with a range of 700 km, according to local media. The system employs elements of stealth technology to reduce its radar signature.

The Pakistan armed forces test-fired an air-launched Raad cruise missile at the end of May.

Babur and Raad share many main components and technologies.
