Pakistan claimed on Saturday that it has conducted a ‘successful’ training launch of the Abdali Weapon System.

The Abdali (Hatf-II) is a short-range, road-mobile, solid-fuel ballistic missile developed by Pakistan’s Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO).
It is designed for tactical battlefield use and can deliver both conventional and nuclear warheads.
The latest test claims a maximum range of 450 kilometers (about 280 miles), doubling the previously reported operational range of 180–200 km.
The missile is equipped with an advanced inertial navigation system, offering a Circular Error Probable (CEP) of 100–150 meters, indicating high accuracy.
It is launched from a road-mobile Transporter-Erector-Launcher (TEL), enabling rapid deployment and mobility.
The Abdali can carry a single payload (high explosive, submunitions, or conventional warhead) weighing between 250–500 kg.
The missile’s solid-propellant engine allows for quick reaction and storage, enhancing its battlefield utility.
The system is already in operational service with Pakistan’s Army Strategic Forces Command since 2005.
