Pakistan's Copy of Indian Missile Fails Again, Raises Questions on Defense Capabilities

International News: India's powerful BrahMos missile, tested successfully during Operation Sindoor, has sent a strong message to its neighbors. The Pakistani military, shocked by the effectiveness of Indian missile technology, is now attempting to imitate India's advancements after losing faith in weapons imported from China.

Pakistan Tries to Copy India's Agni-5 With 'Ababil'

Pakistani defense scientists recently claimed they developed a missile named Ababil, which they said could match India’s Agni-5, a long-range ballistic missile. However, during testing, Ababil failed to take off properly and crashed soon after launch. This not only highlighted major flaws in Pakistan's missile development program but also raised doubts about the country's technological readiness.

Multiple Failures in Recent Missile Tests

This was not a one-off incident. In July alone, Pakistan has faced two missile test failures. Earlier, a Shaheen-3 missile landed dangerously close to a sensitive nuclear facility in Balochistan. And now, Ababil's test has also failed, adding to a growing list of setbacks for the country’s missile program.

India’s Missile Power Creates Fear, Pakistan’s Creates Embarrassment

India’s precision missile systems, like the BrahMos, have proven their strength time and again, often discouraging adversaries. In contrast, Pakistan’s missile launches frequently end in failure, causing more embarrassment than impact. The Ababil test is just another example of how Pakistan’s efforts to match India’s technology are falling short.

Ababil Fails for the 13th Time

What’s worse, this was Ababil’s 13th test, and yet again it failed. Despite repeated efforts, Pakistani engineers and the army haven’t been able to fix the issues. The missile, designed to carry nuclear weapons, is instead turning into a symbol of failed defense trials.

Even Chinese Missiles Not Helping Pakistan

Pakistan has tried to strengthen its missile arsenal by buying advanced Chinese systems, such as the PL-15 and HQ-9. It also launched missiles like Fateh and Babar, but most of them either fell within Pakistani territory or only travelled a short distance into Indian territory. Those that crossed into India were quickly destroyed by India’s S-400 air defense system.

Copying India: A Desperate Move

With all these failures piling up, Pakistan now seems to be imitating Indian missile systems in desperation. The Ababil missile, which closely resembles India’s Agni-5, is a clear example. However, attempts at copying are proving unsuccessful, showing that missile technology can’t be duplicated without deep research, expertise, and reliable systems.
