suddenly this old missile with some improvements just out of no where increase their deterrence ability manifold, he forget it is old missile and just because we have tested new missiles they are putting this type of statement for public consumption.

BTW this missile it seems doesnt deter US drone they keep killing Pakistanis at will and rape their sovereignty every passing second.
