Pakistan is now conducting a missile test on the missile in Islamabad United Nations, which is pleading with the world about India's false flag operation. Pakistan on Wednesday claimed to have successfully tested- fired a surface-to-surface nuclear strike, the Ghaznavi missile. The missile is capable of carrying conventional warheads up to 290 km up to 700 kg of nuclear warheads.

Pakistan tested the Shaheen-3 missile on 20 January.

However, the army has not revealed where the test was conducted. In the last week of August 2019, Pakistan also tested the Ghaznavi missile. The Ghaznavi missile is also known as the Hatf-3 missile.

Pakistan started manufacturing the Ghaznavi missile in 1987. The missile was inducted into the Pakistani Army in 2007 after nearly 20 years. The length of this missile is around 8.5 meters. The missile, developed in collaboration with China, has been developed by Pakistan's National Development Complex. Since Pakistan is not a member of the Missile Control Regime Treaty (MCRT), China cannot provide the technology for a missile hitting more than 300 kilometers.

short-range Ghaznavi missile is a solid fuel-fired missile that can be launched from a truck or rail platform. This missile can be carried anywhere by rail and road. China had given the M-11 missile to Pakistan in the year 1987. Using the technology of the M-11, Pakistan has built the Ghaznavi missile.
