🇵🇰 ABABEEL MIRV-CAPABLE BALLISTIC MISSILE

Pakistan’s strategic game-changer the Ababeel MRBM brings MIRV capability to South Asia, enabling the saturation of regional missile defenses and reinforcing credible minimum deterrence.

🎯 Role: Strategic deterrence | BMD penetration | Assured second-strike capability

🛰 Range: ~2,200 km covers entire Indian landmass

⚡ Propulsion: Solid-fuel, road-mobile rapid launch & reduced vulnerability

☢ Warhead: Multiple Independently Targetable Re-entry Vehicles (MIRVs)

🧭 Guidance: Inertial navigation with advanced post-boost vehicle for warhead separation

🧠 Advantages:

• Defeats layered missile defenses
• MIRV technology = multiple targets from one launch
• Solid fuel = fast reaction time & mobility

📝 First Test: 24 January 2017 — continuing quiet development.

Ababeel represents a qualitative leap in Pakistan’s strategic missile capabilities, countering evolving regional defense systems and ensuring deterrence stability.
