Pakistan Tests Upgraded Fatah-2 Missile Following Previous Interception

Pakistan recently tested an upgraded version of its Fatah-2 missile, aiming to improve accuracy and survivability after the original system's failure during last year's Operation Sindoor, when an Indian Air Force unit intercepted a missile believed to be targeting Delhi. The military claims the upgraded missile features advanced avionics, state-of-the-art navigation aids, and the ability to alter its trajectory mid-flight to evade defenses. Despite these claims, experts remain cautious about the missile's reliability and effectiveness.
