KARACHI: In a major milestone for national defense, the Pakistan Navy successfully demonstrated the first live weapon firing from its newly constructed submarine, PNS Hangor, in the North Arabian Sea, accurately hitting its designated target with precision.
According to details released by naval authorities, the successful missile and torpedo test marks a critical technological leap forward for the maritime forces. The exercise validated the combat readiness, operational capability, and advanced target-acquisition systems integrated into the modern Hangor-class submarine program.
This tactical achievement significantly bolsters Pakistan’s maritime defense posture in the region, ensuring robust deterrence capabilities along vital sea lines of communication.
Defense analysts note that the successful integration and testing of sophisticated weaponry on locally commissioned naval assets reflect the country’s growing self-reliance in military hardware.
Following this successful maiden live-fire trial, the Pakistan Navy is expected to formally induct the submarine into its frontline combat fleet.
Further operational drills and joint tactical exercises are planned in the coming weeks to integrate the vessel fully into the nation’s multi-layered maritime defense strategy.
