Islamabad, Jan 03 (V7N)- Pakistan has successfully tested its indigenously developed ‘Taimur’ air-launched cruise missile for the third time, according to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the country’s military news agency. The announcement was made on Saturday (December 3).

The ISPR reported that the Taimur missile is capable of accurately hitting targets up to 600 km away. It is equipped with a sophisticated navigation and guidance system and is designed to fly at very low altitudes, enabling it to evade enemy air and missile defense systems.

Earlier, on September 30, 2025, Pakistan successfully tested the indigenously developed Fatah-4 cruise missile, which has a range of 750 km. Following that, on November 26, 2025, the country successfully launched its first indigenous ship-launched anti-ship ballistic missile.

The ISPR described the successful test launch of the Taimur missile as “a testament to Pakistan’s technological prowess and the Pakistan Army’s unwavering commitment to protecting national interests.”

Defense analysts note that this series of missile tests highlights Pakistan’s growing military capabilities in South Asia, sending a strong signal to neighboring countries, including India.
