The Pakistani Navy on Monday conducted surface-to-air live missile firing in the North Arabian Sea, the military said in a statement. After the test, the Pakistani Navy reiterated its pledge to defend the nation’s boundaries. The missile tested by the Pakistani Navy is the FM-90(N) ER.
The FM-90(N) ER medium-range missile is part of the naval air defence system and has been designed to thwart air attacks.
Pakistan conducted the surface-to-air live missile firing
Pakistan conducted the surface-to-air live missile firing after Operation Sindoor took place in May. India launched the operation to avenge the killing of tourists in Pahalgam on April 22 this year. However, the navies did not engage in any skirmish, but they were on high alert during the four-day clash until a ceasefire was called.
Pak commander witnessed the live firing
The Pakistani Army’s media wing ISPR said in a statement, “Pakistan has successfully conducted surface-to-air live missile FM-90(N) ER firing in the North Arabian Sea.” It further stated that the Pakistani Navy’s fighter jet carried out manoeuvring and the missile successfully targeted the aims in an effective manner, which shows that the Pakistan Navy is ready for war. The Pakistani fleet commander witnessed the live firing.
Munir saw field training exercise in Sialkot
The ISPR said the commander showered praise on the officers and sailors for their professional and operational capabilities. Recently, Pakistan has focused on war preparedness. Last week, Chief of Defence Staff Asim Munir visited Gujranwala and Sialkot to witness a field training exercise involving tanks and drones.
