Pakistan successfully tried stealth missiles

Pakistan has successfully tested the cruise missile capable of carrying nuclear warheads on July 26. Completely built in the country, Babur (Hatf-VII) missiles have a range of 700km with " almost invisible" characteristics .

Babur was first shot in 2005 and the last attempt took place in March. Since then, its long range has been raised by 200km, enough to reach New Delhi, the Capital of India .

In February, Pakistan signed a historic agreement with India to reduce the risk of nuclear weapons accidents. Pakistan did not say whether the country had notified New Delhi in advance of the test. The two countries agreed to inform each other about ballistic missile tests, not cruise missiles.
