Overview
The Ghauri (Hatf-V) is a Pakistani medium-range ballistic missile developed by Khan Research Laboratories. Derived from North Korean Nodong technology, it uses liquid propellant and achieves a range of approximately 1,300 km with a 700 kg payload. It is nuclear-capable and road-mobile on a transporter-erector-launcher (TEL). While liquid fuel reduces alert readiness versus the Shaheen solid-fuel series, Ghauri provides strategic depth and is maintained as part of Pakistan's minimum credible deterrence posture. First test-fired 1998.
