The successful test reflects the growing technical maturity of Pakistan’s defence industry and its focus on indigenous solutions.
Taimoor is equipped with a state-of-the-art navigation and guidance system, allowing it to fly at very low altitudes. This capability enables the missile to effectively evade hostile air and missile defence systems.
Military officials said the weapon system significantly enhances the Pakistan Air Force’s operational flexibility and strengthens the country’s conventional deterrence posture.
