However, the Ghaznavi has been fired before and is praised for its bulls-eye target approach, the test was carried out again. Thus, the test proves as an open challenge to neighbors and arch-rivals India. If India tries to make any such move, it will be countered by the Ghaznavi ballistic missile. Previously, a similar test was carried out in August 2019.
With a range of 290 km, the Hatf-3 will reach India in a matter of seconds.
