RAWALPINDI—As part of the ongoing exercises of Pakistan Army’s Strategic
Force Command (ASFC), the troops of a Strategic Missile Group (SMG)
Wednesday conducted a successful launch of the Medium Range Ballistic
Missile Hatf 4 (Shaheen-I).
The event marked the culmination phase of the training exercise and
validated the operational readiness of the Strategic Missile Group (SMG)
equipped with Shaheen-I Missiles, says an ISPR statement.
It may be recalled that the Shaheen-I Ballistic Missile System was
handed over to the Army Strategic Force Command a few years ago. The
Shaheen-I Missile has a range of 700 kilometers. The ASFC had recently
conducted a successful launch of the Ghauri Missile System.
Today’s launch exercise was witnessed by the Chairman Joint Chiefs of
Staff Committee General Ehsan Ul Haq and a large number of senior
military officers, scientists and engineers of the strategic
organizations.
