Burq

Burq, is a family of laser-guided missiles produced by Pakistani defence conglomerate Global Industrial Defence Solutions.
Burq has been developed for air–ground missions particularly for low-payload-capacity air platforms like UCAVs. It can engage both stationary and moving targets with high precision.

Design &; Development

The Burq program started initially as a stand-alone air to ground missile when it was revealed to the public by the Inter-Services Public Relations in March 2015 being fired from a NESCOM Burraq UCAV during test trials, capable of destroying both stationary and moving targets.
By 2024, the Barq had underwent significant R&D phases through which it was transformed into a whole family of missiles with different specifications.

Combat use

The Burq's first combat mission was carried out against militants during Operation Zarb-e-Azb in the Shawal Valley of North Waziristan District, on 6 September 2015, successfully eliminating three high-value targets.
