Q. Shaheen-II Missile, recently seen in the news, is developed by which country?
Answer:
Pakistan
Notes: Pakistan successfully tested its Shaheen-II surface-to-surface ballistic missile. Shaheen-II is a medium-range, solid-fueled missile with an estimated range of 1,500–2,000 km. It is 17.2 m long, weighs 23,600 kg at launch, and can carry conventional or nuclear payloads. The missile's accuracy is estimated at 350 m circular error probable (CEP), with a separating warhead designed to improve precision. It is transported and launched by a 6-axle transporter erector launcher (TEL). Ballistic missiles follow a rocket-powered, then unpowered, trajectory to deliver payloads, including conventional or nuclear munitions.
