Pakistan test-fires first nuclear-capable submarine cruise missile Babur-3
Pakistan successfully test-fired its first Submarine-Launched Cruise Missile (SLCM) Babur- 3 capable of carrying a nuclear warhead. This launch gives Pakistan a “credible” second-strike capability. India for the first time had successfully test-fired a nuclear-capable, submarine-launched missile in
2008 and tested a submarine-launched cruise missile in 2013.
