RAWALPINDI: The Army Rocket Force Command has successfully conducted the test fire of the indigenously developed Fatah-IV ground-launched cruise missile on Thursday, according to the military\u2019s media affairs wing.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a statement, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said the weapon system is equipped with advanced avionics and state-of-the-art navigational aids, and is capable of engaging long-range targets with high precision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The statement added that the training fire was carried out to enhance the operational efficiency of troops and to validate technical parameters of various sub-systems designed for improved accuracy and enhanced survivability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It further noted that senior officers of the Pakistan Army Rocket Force Command, along with scientists and engineers from the missile\u2019s developing agency, were present during the training fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to ISPR, President Asif Ali Zardari, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Chief of Defence Forces and Chief of Army Staff Field Marshal Asim Munir, Chief of Naval Staff Admiral Naveed Ashraf, and Chief of Air Staff Air Chief Marshal Zaheer Ahmad Baber Sidhu commended the successful training fire of the Fatah-IV. They also appreciated the technical expertise, dedication, and commitment of all those involved in the development of the F-series missile system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The development comes less than three weeks after the Army Rocket Force Command conducted a successful training launch of the indigenously developed Fateh-II missile system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In September 2025, the Pakistan Army had also carried out a successful training launch of the Fatah-IV cruise missile, which has a range of 750 kilometres.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
