Congrats a lot to Pakistan for successively testing Hatf IV Shaheen-1A. This will be a great deterrent against India on the western border and was required by Pakistan after successful missile launches by DRDO at the beginning of the new year.

Like someone said, sometimes weapons are the peace keepers because human minds are destructive.
