Pakistan N-capable cruise missile successfully test-fired
Islamabad: Pakistan on Monday conducted a successful flight test of the indigenously-developed Air Launched Cruise Missile (ALCM) ‘Ra’ad’, just over a week after its arch-rival India reached a new civilian nuclear accord with the United States. The military said the missile, with a range of 350km, enables Pakistan to achieve ‘strategic standoff capability’ on land and at sea.

“Cruise Technology” is extremely complex and has been developed by only a few countries in the world. The state of the art Ra’ad Cruise Missile with stealth capabilities is a low altitude, terrain hugging missile with high manoeuvrability; can deliver nuclear and conventional warheads with pin point accuracy.

The agreement reached during President Barack Obama’s visit to New Delhi broke a deadlock that stalled a civilian atomic power agreement for years. But it drew condemnation from Pakistan,
...of course it did...
which said the deal could destabilise South Asian security.
...by allowing the evil Hindooz to defend themselves...
The US and India in 2008 signed a landmark deal giving India access to civilian nuclear technology. But it had been held up since then by US concerns over India’s strict laws on liability in the event of a nuclear accident.

Director-General Strategic Plans Division, Lt-Gen. Zubair Mahmood Hayat, while congratulating the scientists and engineers on achieving yet another milestone of historic significance, termed it a major step towards strengthening Pakistan’s full spectrum credible minimum deterrence capability. Pakistan’s strategic pursuits are aimed at achieving strategic stability in the region, he said.
