ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Navy test fired the "Zarb" surface to sea missile aimed at consolidating its defence capability to thwart any possible aggression by adversaries from the Arabian sea.
"The missile was fired from a strategic point located at a coastal area which successfully hit its target in the Arabian sea," a spokesman for the Pakistan Navy Commodore Nadeem Bokhari said in a statement issued from naval headquarters in Islamabad.
Zarb missile was formally inducted into Pakistan's Navy defence system soon after its successful launch.
Chief of Naval Staff Admiral Zakaullah termed the missile's successful test as an addition into PN's strategic power against the enemy and said that Pakistan Navy will continue its efforts to modernise itself to meet defence and security challenges of present day maritime world.

A word for the people who are asking "origin", you don't test it if you buy it from ouside you only test it if you make it. Does that answer your question?

Pakistan should worry India's sensitivity and must take its consent before testing any such activities.

@Ali We do not spend "trillions" on defense. Where we lose is the politicians gobbling up money and sending them to off-shore accounts under their families or friends names. It's those people we should go after, the military is the most accountable and dependable institution hence we're proud of them as should you be brother.

Proud to see Pakistan Navy, now preparing and planning for its role as a regional maritime power in the Asian Ocean and the the gulf seas near straits of Hormuz. Pakistani engineering is superb, world class.

'terribly bad education system while we spend trillions on military'
Our annual military budget is about one trillion rupees or $10 billion. Our offshore investments every year are easily 10 times that.
