New Missile Boosts Strike Capabilities with 750km Range
The Pakistan Army successfully conducted the training launch of the indigenously developed Fateh‑4 cruise missile on September 30. The missile is designed for ground launch and boasts a strike range of 750 kilometers, significantly enhancing Pakistan’s conventional warfare capabilities.
Fateh‑4 is equipped with advanced avionics and precision-guided navigation systems, allowing it to evade enemy radar through terrain-hugging flight paths. Its high accuracy and long range make it a vital addition to Pakistan’s missile arsenal.
The missile is now a key component of the Army Rocket Force Command, aimed at improving the military’s reach, lethality, and survivability during conventional operations.
Top Military Leadership and Scientists Witness Launch
The successful launch was observed by the Chief of General Staff, senior military officers, and the team of scientists and engineers behind the missile’s development.
National leaders, including the President, Prime Minister, and the Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee, congratulated the armed forces and technical teams for the achievement.
The test reflects ongoing efforts by Pakistan’s defense industry to strengthen indigenous capabilities and reduce reliance on foreign technology in strategic weapon systems.
The Fateh‑4 launch also signals Pakistan’s focus on maintaining a credible and modern missile deterrent in a rapidly evolving regional security environment.
