ISLAMABAD —
Pakistan on Thursday successfully tested its nuclear-capable, air-launched cruise missile Hatf-VIII (Ra’ad) with a range of 350 kilometers, the Defense Ministry said.
The indigenously developed missile, which has special stealth capabilities, was developed exclusively for launch from aircraft. It is a low altitude, terrain-following missile with high maneuverability, and can deliver all types of warheads ‘‘with great accuracy,’’ the ministry said in a statement.
