The Pakistan Air Force (PAF) has successfully conducted a flight test of the indigenously developed Taimoor Weapon System, marking a significant milestone in strengthening Pakistan’s national air and defence capabilities.

According to a PAF spokesperson, the Taimoor air-launched cruise missile is capable of engaging enemy land and sea targets with high precision at a range of up to 600 kilometres. The missile carries a conventional warhead and is equipped with advanced navigation and guidance systems, ensuring accurate target engagement.

The spokesperson added that the missile has been designed to fly at extremely low altitudes, a feature that enhances its ability to evade enemy radar, air defence, and missile interception systems. This capability significantly improves survivability and operational effectiveness in modern combat environments.

Senior officers from the armed forces, along with prominent scientists and engineers, were present to witness the successful flight test. Their presence highlighted the close coordination between the military and Pakistan’s defence research community in advancing indigenous weapon systems.
