The P282 Supersonic Missile Anti-SHip (SMASH) is a Pakistani ship-launched anti-ship ballistic missile (ASBM) capable of engaging both land and sea targets, with an officially stated range of 350 km (217 mi) and anti-access/area-denial (A2/AD) capabilities.[1][2][3]

Development of the SMASH was first revealed by the former chief of the Pakistan Navy (PN), Admiral Zafar Mahmood Abbasi, who said in a 2020 speech at a change-of-command ceremony that the PN was developing the P282 missile, which he described as a hypersonic ship-launched anti-ship/land-attack ballistic missile.[4][5]

The indigenously-developed SMASH missile's first public test flight was carried out by the Pakistan Navy (PN) on November 2024, in which it was successfully launched from a Zulfiquar-class frigate toward a land target.[2][6][7][8] Another successful test was carried out on November 2025, in which the SMASH was launched from a Tughril-class frigate and struck a sea target this time.[9][10][11]

According to Janes, the SMASH appears to have a diameter of 85–90 centimetres (33–35 in) and a length of about 9 metres (30 ft).[2][3] The Pakistan Navy stated that the supersonic missile is "equipped with a state-of-the-art navigation system and maneuverability features," and that it can be used against land and sea targets "with high precision."[3]
