Islamabad: Pakistan has marked a significant milestone by successfully launching the Fatah-4, an indigenously developed ground-launched cruise missile, today. This state-of-the-art weapon, boasting a range of 750 kilometers, is equipped with cutting-edge avionics and navigational aids, making it a formidable addition to the nation’s defense arsenal.

The Fatah-4 missile’s most notable feature is its ability to evade enemy defense systems through its terrain-hugging capabilities, ensuring it can engage targets with remarkable accuracy. This development is set to enhance the reach, lethality, and survivability of the Pakistan Army’s conventional missile systems as it becomes part of the Army Rocket Force Command.

The launch event was attended by the Chief of General Staff, senior officers from the Pakistan Armed Forces, and the dedicated team of scientists and engineers who played a crucial role in the missile’s development. Their efforts have been recognized and applauded by the President, Prime Minister, Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee, and Services Chiefs, who extended their congratulations to all involved in the successful training fire of the Fatah-4.

This achievement not only underscores Pakistan’s technological advancements in defense but also reinforces its strategic capabilities in the region. The introduction of the Fatah-4 missile highlights the country’s commitment to maintaining a robust defense posture while fostering indigenous technological innovation.
