Rawalpindi: Pakistan on Tuesday conducted a successful training launch of the indigenously developed Fateh-II Missile System, equipped with advanced avionics and state-of-the-art navigational aids, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said.
The training launch was aimed at training troops, validating various technical parameters, and evaluating the performance of different sub-systems designed to improve accuracy and enhance survivability, according to the military’s media wing.
The Army Rocket Force Command carried out the training launch of the indigenous missile system. The launch was witnessed by senior officers from the Strategic Plans Division, Army Rocket Force Command, and Pakistan Army, along with scientists and engineers from strategic organisations, the ISPR added.
“The forum commended the successful training fire of the indigenously developed missile of the Fateh series,” the statement read.
Asif Ali Zardari, Shehbaz Sharif, and Asim Munir appreciated the technical expertise, dedication, and commitment of all those who contributed to the successful training fire of the missile.
The training launch of the Fateh-II missile was conducted a week after the Pakistan Navy successfully carried out a live firing of the Taimoor Air-Launched Cruise Missile, an indigenous anti-ship weapon system.
“The Air-Launched Cruise Missile executed its mission with exceptional precision, validating the Pakistan Navy’s combat capability to detect, target, and decisively neutralise enemy sea-based threats at extended ranges,” the ISPR had said in a statement.
The military’s media wing stated that the demonstration by the Pakistan Navy marked a significant enhancement of national defence capability, further strengthening the Pakistan Armed Forces’ multi-dimensional coordinated strike posture and capabilities in the conventional domain.
