Pakistan 'successfully' conducts Fatah-4 missile test amid heightened tensions with India
Pakistan on Tuesday conducted the training launch of the newly inducted cruise missile Fatah-4, media reports said, months after the cross-border tension with India following the Pahalgam terror attack.
According to reports, the missile has a range of 750 kilometres.
“Equipped with advanced avionics and state of the art navigational aids, this weapon system is capable of evading enemy’s missile defence system due to terrain hugging features and engaging targets with high precision,” the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said in a statement as quoted by Dawn News.
“As part of Army Rocket Force Command, Fatah-4 will further enhance the reach, lethality and survivability of Pakistan Army’s conventional missile systems,” the statement said.
The ISPR said the launch was witnessed by the chief of general staff, senior officers from Pakistan’s armed forces, scientists and engineers.
Pakistan's President, Asif Ali Zardari, congratulated the troops, scientists, and engineers on the successful conduct of Fatah-4’s training fire.
The official X page of the President said: "President Asif Ali Zardari congratulates the nation on the successful launch of the indigenously developed Fatah-4 missile,calling it a milestone in Pakistan’s defence and a testament to strategic self-reliance. He lauded scientists, engineers & armed forces for this achievement."
