The Taimoor Air-Launched Cruise Missile is designed to engage enemy land and sea targets with high precision at a range of 600 kilometers, carrying a conventional warhead. Equipped with a state-of-the-art navigation and guidance system, the missile flies at very low altitudes, enabling it to effectively evade hostile air and missile defence systems. Its precision-strike capability enhances Pakistan Air Force’s conventional deterrence and operational flexibility, strengthening the nation’s overall defence posture.
The successful flight test highlights the technical maturity, innovation, and self-reliance achieved by Pakistan’s defence industry. Senior officers of the Pakistan Armed Forces, along with the scientists and engineers who developed the missile, witnessed the launch.
Air Chief Marshal Zaheer Ahmed Baber Sidhu, NI (M), HJ, Chief of Air Staff, congratulated the PAF team and the scientists on this achievement, praising their dedication and professional excellence. He emphasized that such accomplishments reflect Pakistan’s commitment to technological self-sufficiency and maintaining a credible conventional deterrent amid evolving regional security challenges.
The test of the Taimoor weapon system underscores the Pakistan Air Force’s ongoing pursuit of operational readiness, technological superiority, and national security objectives.
