Pakistan successfully tests Ghauri Weapon System VIDEO

Pakistan has successfully tested the Ghauri Weapon System a week after holding the flight test of the ballistic missile Ababeel Weapon System.

The purpose of the launch is "aimed at testing the operational and technical readiness of the Army Strategic Forces Command (ASFC)," the army’s statement reads, The Economic Times reports.

The launch was witnessed by Commander ASFC, senior officers from the strategic forces, scientists, and engineers of the strategic organisation.

The commander of the ASFC also appreciated the scientists and engineers for their contributions towards the enhancement of Pakistan's strategic capability, the statement said.

The training launch of the Ghauri Weapon System took place days after the US imposed sanctions on three Chinese companies for supplying missile-applicable items for Pakistan's ballistic missile programme.

China, an all-weather ally of Pakistan, has been the main supplier of arms and defence equipment to Islamabad's military modernisation programme.
