Pakistan Tests Short-Range Nuclear-Capable Missile, Army Says

[3days]

Nov. 29 (Bloomberg) -- Pakistan successfully test fired a short-range ballistic missile capable of carrying a nuclear warhead, as part of series of planned tests, the army said.

The surface-to-surface Hatf-III missile of the Ghaznavi series has a maximum range of 290 kilometers (181 miles), the military said today in a statement in capital, Islamabad. Pakistan had informed its neighboring countries, including India, about the test, the army said.

1. I Just Thought of Something....

Doesn't the US, France, and UK do tests as well? Oh, sorry, cause they're more trustworthy than Pakistan, they shouldn\t get the stress.

The only threat right now they possess is towards India.

2. Israel test missile but doesn't tell even Americans in advance.

In 1999, the US Navy criticized Israel for test-launching its Jericho ballistic missile off its coast near an American warship.

Pentagon officials said the missile landed about 40 miles from the warship. That’s pretty close in strategic terms; the ship’s crew momentarily thought it was under attack.

That was the third time in two years that Israel had conducted "no notice" missile tests near an American warship.
