On April 28, Pakistan’s Army Rocket Force Command successfully conducted a training launch of the domestically developed Fateh-II missile system.
According to the ISPR, the test confirmed the effectiveness of its advanced avionics and high-precision navigation systems, designed to enhance accuracy and survivability in combat.
With a range of 400 km, the Fateh-II significantly upgrades the capabilities of the earlier Fateh-I.
It utilizes a combination of inertial and satellite navigation to maintain a circular error probable of less than 10 meters, allowing it to strike command centers and air defense systems with extreme precision.
This missile series saw active combat during the 2025 India-Pakistan conflict, where Fateh-I rockets were deployed and a Fateh-II was intercepted near the Sirsa Air Force Station.
Following this successful test, high-ranking officials including President Zardari and Field Marshal Asim Munir lauded the achievement. Pakistan is now looking ahead to testing the long-range Fateh-5 later in 2026.
