The Pakistan Army conducted a successful training launch of the Fatah-4 cruise missile, achieving a range of 750 kilometres, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) announced. The launch, witnessed by the Chief of the General Staff, senior officers, scientists, and engineers, marks a milestone for Pakistan’s defence capabilities.
The ISPR stated, “Equipped with advanced avionics and state-of-the-art navigational aids, this weapon system is capable of evading an enemy’s missile defence system due to terrain-hugging features and engaging targets with high precision.” As part of the Army Rocket Force Command, Fatah-4 enhances the reach, lethality, and survivability of Pakistan’s conventional missile systems.
President Asif Ali Zardari, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee, and the service chiefs extended their congratulations to the troops, scientists, and engineers. Zardari’s Secretariat called the test “a milestone in Pakistan’s defence system,” with the president noting, “Indigenously developed modern missile is proof of Pakistan’s scientific self-reliance. Fatah-4 will further strengthen Pakistan’s defence capabilities.”

In May 2025, Pakistan tested a Fatah Series missile with a 120km range during “Ex Indus.” The Fatah-4’s extended range and precision enhance Pakistan’s strategic edge
The Fatah-4 test, strengthening 30% of Pakistan’s missile arsenal (ISPR, 2025), bolsters national security amid regional tensions, with 65% of Pakistanis supporting military advancements. Its terrain-hugging technology counters missile defences, critical for deterrence in South Asia.
