Pak test-fires indigenously developed Fateh-II missile: Army

Islamabad, April 28: Pakistan has successfully conducted a training launch of the indigenously developed Fateh-II missile system, the army said on Tuesday.

The launch of the system equipped with advanced avionics and state-of-the-art navigational aids was carried out by the Army Rocket Force, according to a statement by the army.

“The training launch was aimed at training of troops, validating various technical parameters and performance evaluation of different sub-systems incorporated for improved accuracy and enhanced survivability,” it said.

It said that the launch was witnessed by senior officers from the Strategic Plans Division, the Army Rocket Force Command and the Pakistan Army, along with scientists and Engineers of Strategic Organisations.

They commended the successful training fire of the indigenously developed Missile of Fateh Series.

President Asif Ali Zardari, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Chief of Defence Forces Asim Munir and Services Chiefs appreciated the technical prowess, dedication and commitment of all those who contributed towards the successful training fire of the missile.

In September 2025, the army conducted the training launch of the cruise missile Fatah-4 with a range of 750 kilometres.

It test-launched a surface-to-surface missile with a range of 120km under the Fatah series in May last year, when there was tension with India. (PTI)
