Pakistan Army has inducted A-100 Rocket in Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) of its Corps of Artillery, said Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) on Friday. The media wing of Pakistan Army said that A-100 Rocket had been indigenously developed by Pakistani scientists and engineers. With over 100 kilometres range, the rocket is a highly effective and potent for interdiction that can effectively disrupt enemy's mobilisation and assembly.

In his address at the induction ceremony as the chief guest, Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa paid rich tributes to scientists and engineers for indigenously developing A-100 Rocket which shall augment the existing conventional fire power capabilities of Pakistan Army.

The COAS emphasised Pakistan Army's resolve to strengthen conventional forces to meet challenges of full spectrum threat. General Bajwa said Pakistani defence industry had maintained steady progress in the recent times and has contributed to defence of Pakistan.
