Neighbour Pakistan successfully carried out a training launch of the newly inducted and indigenously developed cruise missile 'Fatah-4'. The missile can hit targets up to 750 kilometres, the Pakistani Army cited on Tuesday.
“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,” the army said.
As part of the Army Rocket Force Command, Fatah-4 "will further enhance the reach, lethality, and survivability of Pakistan Army’s conventional missile systems,” the official statement added.
The launch was witnessed by the chief of general staff, senior officers from Pakistan's armed forces, scientists, and engineers.
The president, prime minister, Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee (CJCSC), and services chiefs congratulated the participating troops, scientists, and engineers on the successful conduct of Fatah-4's training fire, the statement added.
