Pakistan: Domestic Drones Ready (A report published in New York Times November, 2014)

The Pakistani military deployed its first fleet of domestically developed drones on Monday. The new Burraq and Shahpar drones will be used by Pakistan’s army and air force, the military said in a statement. It was unclear whether the aircraft are armed or unarmed, and military officials did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Pakistan has struggled with a lack of precision munitions and advanced targeting technology, according to Pakistani military officials and civilians involved in the domestic drone industry. Even if Pakistan had the technology, the small drones it has developed would have trouble carrying the kinds of missiles fired by the American aircraft. The Pakistani drones also have much more limited range than those developed by the United States.

The announcement coincided with a move by the Pakistani police in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Province to prevent activists who were protesting against American drone strikes from blocking trucks carrying NATO troop supplies to and from Afghanistan. The federal government has also criticized American drone strikes, but the actions by the police on Monday indicated that the government had decided to intervene to stop the NATO blockade in order to avert a dispute with the United States and other NATO countries.

Pakistan Successfully Tests Hatf-VII Babur Land Attack Cruise Missile


Pakistan has successfully tested the Hatf-VII Babur Land Attack Cruise Missile (LACM) today. Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) has announced that Hatf-VII Babur was test fired against the target at a range of 700 kilometers.


Hatf-VII Babur Land Attack Cruise Missile (LACM) has a maximum range of 750 kilometers km and longer range version with range of 1000km is also under development.  Hatf-VII Babur Land Attack Cruise Missile features stealth shaping and low flying capability to avoid detection by the enemy radars.


Hatf-VII Babur Land Attack Cruise Missile (LACM) was test fired from a new multi tube Missile Launch Vehicle (MLV) which carries three tube MLV allowing Pakistan Army to rapidly engage its targets with surgical precision.


Hatf-VII Babur Land Attack Cruise Missile (LACM) uses Terrain Contour Matching (TERCOM) and Digital Scene Matching and Area Co-relation (DSMAC) to achieve circular error probability (CEP) of less then 3 meters.


President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani have congratulated the scientists  of the National Engineering and Scientific Commission (NESCOM) on the successful test of the Hatf-VII Babur Land Attack Cruise Missile (LACM).

National Engineering and Scientific Commission (NESCOM) started the development of the Hatf-VII Babur cruise missile in late 1990 in order to counter the Indian efforts to license produce the improved version of Russian Yakhont cruise missile which has been modified for land attacks.


Recovery of two intact US RGM/UGM-109 Tomahawk cruise missiles from the Southern Pakistan aided Pakistani efforts and Pakistan tested the Hatf-VII Babur against a target 500 kilometers away in 2005. Range of the Hatf-VII Babur was increased to 750 kilometers by the Pakistani scientists.

NESCOM has also developed Ra’ad air launched cruise missile (ALCM) for Pakistani air force and it has range of 350 kilometers.
