Pakistan Test-Fires Hypersonic Fatah-2 Extended Range Missile Successfully
Pakistan successfully test-fired the hypersonic ballistic missile Fatah-2 Extended Range (ER), which features advanced navigation and avionics. The missile is designed for high-precision targeting and can overcome missile defense systems due to its unique trajectory and maneuverability. The test launch was observed by senior military officials and scientists. Pakistani leaders, including President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, congratulated the team. This follows recent tests of the Fatah-4 and Fatah-IV ground-launched cruise missiles.
