The initial course of this projectile was on a southwesterly heading, and it appeared to initially go towards the Mahajan field firing ranges which are southwest of suratgarh, however, once it had travelled around 70-80 kilometres on this heading, it took a right track change, While maintaining the same altitude and speeds, and started to head northwest towards Pakistani airspace.
Pakistan Air Force’s air defence systems had a solid and continuous tracking of this projectile, right from its first pickup till it faded out.”
