Zarb missile

The Zarb missile is a land-based anti-ship guided cruise missile system currently in operation with Pakistan Navy. The word "Zarb" means "Strike" or "Hit" in Urdu language.

The missile was developed to thwart any possible aggression by adversaries from the Arabian sea. Zarb was successfully tested by the Navy on April 9, 2016 from a coastal area and it successfully engaged its target in the Arabian sea. The missile was formally inducted into Pakistan's Navy defense system soon after its successful launch. No further details about the missile were released at the time of its first launch.
