The Zarb /zɑːrb/ (Urdu: ضرب) is a subsonic surface anti-ship cruise missile, currently in service with Pakistan Navy.[1][2]
Development[edit]
The missile was successfully tested on 9 April 2016 from a coastal area and it successfully engaged its target in the Arabian sea. The missile was inducted into Pakistan's naval defense system soon after its successful test.[1][3] It was again tested in April 2018 during the "Sea Lion lll" exercise from an 8×8 transport-erector-launcher (TEL) vehicle.[4]
