Pakistan test-fires indigenously built Fatah-4 cruise missile

RAWALPINDI: The Pakistan Army on Tuesday conducted a successful training launch of newly-inducted and indigenously-developed Fatah-4 Ground Launched Cruise Missile with a range of 750 kilometres.

Equipped with advanced avionics and state-of-the-art navigational aids, this weapon system is capable of evading 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 will further enhance the reach, lethality and survivability of the Pakistan Army’s conventional missile systems.

The launch was witnessed by the chief of general staff, senior officers from Pakistan’s armed forces, dedicated scientists and engineers, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said in a statement.

The president, the prime minister, the chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee and the services chiefs have congratulated the participating troops, scientists and engineers on the successful conduct of Fatah-4 training fire.
