Earlier this month, Pakistan successfully tested its Fateh-3 and Fateh-4 missiles.Pakistan has unveiled a new stealth cruise missile, the Rasoob-250 \u2014 a lightweight weapon that slips past enemy defenses and can be launched from multiple air platforms.<strong>Key characteristics:<\/strong><strong>Platform:<\/strong> Air-launched; capable of precision strikes from drones, helicopters, and fighter jets.<strong>Weight:<\/strong> 285 kg<strong>Range:<\/strong> 350 km<strong>Speed:<\/strong> Subsonic (Mach 0.7)<strong>Warhead:<\/strong> 75 kg semi-armor-piercing, effective against lightly armored vehicles, cruisers, and destroyers.The missile is reported to have been developed by Pakistani engineers.&#8221;It demonstrates a natural progression in local engineering expertise, evolving from previous domestic programs,&#8221; Adam Saud, Professor of International Relations at Bahria University, told Sputnik.According to Saud, the decision to develop a lightweight, stealthy ALCM for slower-moving aircraft represents a strategic choice aimed at filling a unique niche in Pakistan&#8217;s military doctrine.AnalysisPakistan&#8217;s Fateh-4: Here\u2019s What You Need to Know14 May, 14:30 GMT<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"article__h2\" id=\"1124162960-1\">Why Pakistan is betting on cruise missiles<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;Missiles are central to Pakistan&#8217;s military doctrine for three key reasons,&#8221; retired Pakistan Air Force group captain Sultan Hali told Sputnik after Pakistan unveiled its new Rasoob-250 cruise missile.Deterrence: They offer a long-range attack option with no need to risk aircraft in hostile airspace.Force multiplication: Cruise missiles extend the reach of both the air force and the navy, allowing air-to-ground and sea-to-land attacks.Strategic balance: Just as Iran uses missiles to counter US and Israeli attacks, Pakistan sees them as a cost-effective equalizer against technologically superior enemies.Hali says the new missile is mainly a homegrown Pakistani development. Its closest international counterparts include:- Norway&#8217;s Joint Strike Missile (JSM)- The Turkish SOM cruise missile- The Chinese CM-400AKGThe Rasoob-250 is the latest product of the growing Pakistani arms industry. Earlier this month, Pakistan successfully tested its Fateh-3 and Fateh-4 missiles.Hali attributes the growth of the Pakistani defense industry to three factors:1. Indigenous research and development \u2013 centers like NESCOM, GIDS and the Air Weapons Complex have made significant investments in software, composite materials and guidance systems.2. Operational necessity \u2013 regional threats and the growing demand for stand-off weapons have pushed Pakistan to speed up its missile programs.3. Doctrinal evolution \u2013 the Pakistani armed forces now combine cyber warfare, electronic warfare , and missile targeting.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/sputniknews.com\/20260520\/what-the-rasoob250-reveals-about-pakistans-cruise-missile-bet-1124162960.html\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stealth Cruise Missile Rasoob-250 The Rasoob-250 is the latest product of the growing Pakistani arms industry.
