According to a press release by the Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR), Pakistan conducted a successful test of an Air Launched Cruise Missile (ALCM) on 19th of January, 2016. The cruise missile has been named as ‘Ra’ad’ and is indigenously developed by the country. Ra’ad has a range of 350 kilometers, which is capable enough to be used for long distance targets. It is fully capable and accurate in delivering thermonuclear weapon payload on any target within its range. The Prime Minister of Pakistan, Nawaz Sharif, while congratulating the Army, scientists, and engineers, said that:
“Pakistan today conducted a successful Flight Test of the indigenously developed Air Launched Cruise Missile (ALCM) “Ra’ad”. The Ra’ad ALCM, with a range of 350 Km, enables Pakistan to achieve air delivered strategic standoff capability on land and at sea”
Ra’ad is an ALCM which is launched by an aircraft, and used by standoff weapons to fire the predetermined targets. These are the current versions of this ALCM which can be seen in a video showing the successful test fire too. One of its important features is that it can’t be easily detected through defense systems that is why is has become one of the most feared weapons for our enemies as it can quietly deliver thermonuclear weapon payload. The Scientists and the Engineers who were involved in the development of Ra’ad, were congratulated by the President, the Prime minister, and the Director General Strategic plans division, Lieutenant General Mazhar Jamil. The successful test fire of Ra’ad is an important step in strengthening Pakistan’s defense system and will make Pakistan a more powerful country. Ra’ad has been termed as a major milestone towards the strategic stability of the region.
