| Role | Anti-ship and land attack | Primarily anti-ship |
| Range (domestic) | ~450–700+ km | ~220–250 km |

| Doctrine | Standoff strike + deterrence | Sea denial |

Network-Centric, Not Lone-Wolf Warfare
PNS Khaibar is designed to fight as part of a system:
-
Integrated with maritime patrol aircraft
-
Linked to shore-based sensors
-
Coordinated with submarines (Hangor-class incoming)
This is layered deterrence.
Not bravado.
Not chest-thumping.
Quiet capability.
