Gabriel Dominguez, London - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly

06 July 2017

Pakistan has test-fired an improved version of its Nasr (also known as Hatf 9) close-range ballistic missile (CRBM), according to a 5 July statement issued by Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the media wing of the Pakistan Armed Forces.

"Pakistan has successfully undertaken a series of training launches and tests/trials during the current week for validation of new technical parameters of Nasr with [an] enhanced range from 60 km [the missile's initial maximum range] to 70 km," said the statement.

"This weapon system will augment credible deterrence against [the] prevailing threat spectrum more effectively, including anti-missile defences," said ISPR, adding that the CRBM is capable of achieving "high precision" and can be deployed quickly.

General Qamar Javed Bajwa, the Pakistan Army's chief of staff, said that the country's scientists and engineers working on the weapon had achieved a "significant milestone towards Pakistan's credible deterrence capability".

"War must be avoided at all costs, and our strategic capability is a guarantee of peace against a highly militarised and increasingly belligerent neighbour. Pakistan will go to any length to ensure regional peace and stability. We wholeheartedly support all government efforts at peace through dialogue. Our capability is only meant to ensure - no one thinks war remains an option," Gen Bajwa added.

Secretary Defense Lt General (R) Zamir ul Hassan Shah during an official visit to Ukraine


Pakistan’s delegation, included Secretary Defence Lt General (R) Zamir ul Hassan Shah, officially visited Ukraine in order to attend the second meeting of the joint commission on military and defense production fields.

Secretary Defence has also visited the SE “Malyshev Plant” in Kharkiv where he familiarization with the production of modern Ukrainian armored vehicles. He mentioned that Pakistan values its relations with Ukraine and believes that the relationship will strengthen with the passage of time.

Some sources reported that Ukraine is on the verge of signing a deal to provide Pakistan with new and upgraded main battle tanks.

In April, “Delovaya Stolitsa” interviewed Pakistan’s Ambassador to Ukraine Maj. Gen (retired) Athar Abbas, who told Delovaya Stolitsa that Pakistan could be interested in 100 Oplot-P (export version for Pakistan) main battle tanks.

At the end of the May, “Podrobnosti” reported of the SE “Malyshev Plant” completing an Oplot-P main battle tank destined for Pakistan, but for testing as part of a tender. Pakistan had tested the Oplot-M in 2015 as well.



Early, the Pakistani government has signed an agreement with Ukraine for the supply of 200 engines to equip the Al Khalid-Improved main battle tank (MBT), according to Pakistani defence officials.

According to Ukrainian media reports, Ukraine and Pakistan also have started implementing a bilateral agreement for the upgrade of the Pakistan Army’s T-80UD Main Battle Tank (MBT)

Ukraine’s Interfax news agency reveals that representatives of Ukraine’s largest state-run defense contractor have met with Pakistan defense industry officials at this year’s International Defense Exhibition and Conference (IDEX) in Abu Dhabi in late February and concluded a number of agreements.

According to two signed contracts, Ukraine is slated to supply 88 tank sights and kick off a pilot project for the overhaul of an initial batch of five Pakistan Army T-80UD MBTs, which, depending on Islamabad’s satisfaction with the upgrade work on the first five tanks, will extend to the army’s entire inventory of around 300 T-80UD MBTs.

Pakistan has successfully test-fired an improved version of the Hatf-IX Nasr short-range ballistic missile (SRBM). Improvements made to the missile include an extended range of 70 km, up from the initial 60 km, as well as increased flight maneuverability. Footage released by the Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) shows that three Nasr (v2) units were tested in succession at the target, each launched from a different firing trajectory, showcasing the missile’s maneuvering capabilities. Fired from multi-barrel missile launchers, the Nasr was developed by Pakistan as one of its ‘tactical nuclear weapons’ (TNW) developed to dissuade military action by India.
