Pakistan on Tuesday successfully conducted the test launch of the extended version of the indigenously developed Fatah-4 Ground-Launched Cruise Missile, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said.
According to ISPR, the weapon system is equipped with advanced avionics and state-of-the-art navigation aids, enabling it to engage targets at extended ranges with high precision and lethality.
The latest test also validated additional technical parameters of various subsystems incorporated into the extended version to improve accuracy and enhance the missile’s survivability.
