Pakistan to test-fire nuclear missile this month
<a href="http://s1267.photobucket.com/albums/jj559/365Wildfire/?action=view&current=pak-nuke-b-29-12-2011.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1267.photobucket.com/albums/jj559/365Wildfire/pak-nuke-b-29-12-2011.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>Islamabad: Pakistan will test fire a new nuclear-capable missile by the end of this month,
a media report said on Saturday.
Pakistan on April 25 successfully test-fired an intermediate range nuclear-capable missile, less than a week after India tested
a 5,000-km range missile.
The impending test of the surface-to-surface `Nasr' missile has a 180-km range and a high degree of accuracy. The missile is capable
of carrying nuclear and conventional warheads. In March, Pakistan test-fired a nuclear-capable short-range surface-to-surface ballistic missile.
The Hatf-2 missile can travel up to 180 km and deliver nuclear as well as conventional warheads with high accuracy. Pakistan's missile
repertory includes Hatf ballistic missiles and its variants, Ghaznavi short-range ballistic missile, Ghauri and Shaheen medium and intermediate
range ballistic missiles, Babur cruise missiles and Baktar-Shikan anti-tank guided missile, most of which have been developed with China's help.
