ISLAMABAD, May 27: Pakistan on Sunday successfully testfired its
newly-developed short-range surface-to-surface ballistic missile
Hataf-III (Ghaznavi). This was announced by the Inter Services Public
Relations Directorate (ISPR) in a press release. 

It said: "This was the first test of the Ghaznavi missile which is
capable of carrying warheads accurately up to a range of 290kms." 

According to an ISPR release, chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee,
General Aziz Ahmad Khan told scientists, research scholars and others
after the firing of Ghaznavi missile that the question of the size of
Pakistan had now become meaningless. 

Gen Aziz, who was present in the monitoring room with corps commander
Lt-Gen Tariq Waseem Ghazi, describing the technical details of the test
said the missile's take-off was perfect, re-entry stage was excellent,
and target impact was highly accurate. 

Chairman JCSC said mere presence of any weapon was not enough, it was a
dedicated team which formed defence deterrence of a country. 

The concentration of troops on our borders and coercive attitude of any
power could not frighten the valiant armed forces of Pakistan, Gen Aziz
said.
