Pakistan Inter Services Public Relations

“ISPR”:http://www.ispr.gov.pk/front/main.asp?o=t-main_page is a good source for official Pakistani information about its missiles. For example, “this”:http://www.ispr.gov.pk/front/main.asp?o=t-press_release&id=2240 February 11 press release (scroll down) describes the most recent test of Pakistan’s Hatf IX (NASR) ballistic missile.

bq. Pakistan today conducted a successful test fire of Short Range Surface to Surface Missile Hatf IX (NASR). The test fire was conducted with successive launches of two missiles from a state of the art multi tube launcher. NASR, with a range of 60 km, and inflight maneuver capability can carry nuclear warheads of appropriate yield, with high accuracy. This quick response system, which can fire a four Missile Salvo ensures deterrence against threats in view of evolving scenarios.

This part struck me as new:

bq. NASR has been specially designed to defeat all known Anti Tactical Missile Defence Systems.

On the “Adventure and Sports” section of the ISPR site, one can also find an “announcement”:http://www.ispr.gov.pk/front/main.asp?o=t-article&id=27 for a ski course, complete with an outstanding video.
