The successful flight test of the Taimoor air-launched cruise missile marks an important development in modern military capabilities. Pakistan conducted the test to strengthen its conventional deterrence and enhance defence self-reliance. The missile is designed to strike both land and sea targets with high precision while flying at low altitudes to evade air and missile defence systems. With a strike range of 600 km, the system significantly expands operational reach. This development highlights Pakistan’s focus on advancing indigenous weapon systems and reinforcing its air force’s strategic strike capabilities.
