Pakistan Test-Fires Extended Version of Fatah-4 Cruise Missile with Enhanced Capabilities
Pakistan successfully test-fired an indigenously developed extended version of the Fatah-4 ground-launched cruise missile, capable of engaging long-range targets with high precision and lethality. The test validated improvements in avionics, navigational aids, and various sub-systems for enhanced accuracy and survivability. The launch was observed by senior military officers, scientists, and engineers. Key leaders including President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif commended the achievement. This follows a similar successful test of the Fatah-IV missile in May.
