Pakistan has successfully conducted a test flight of its indigenously developed surface-to-surface missile, Fatah, marking a significant step in strengthening the country’s tactical strike arsenal. The missile, capable of hitting targets up to 120 kilometres away, met all technical parameters and objectives during the trial, according to a statement from the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).
The purpose of the flight test was to validate the design and performance features of the weapon system. The Fatah missile is part of Pakistan’s tactical strike capability, aimed at bolstering its defence readiness in the region.

Chief of Army Staff General Syed Asim Munir and Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee General Sahir Shamshad Mirza congratulated the scientists and engineers behind the successful launch. They praised the dedication and professionalism of the team responsible for the missile’s development and testing.
Earlier this month, Pakistan also carried out a successful training launch of the Abdali surface-to-surface ballistic missile, capable of carrying both conventional and nuclear warheads with a range of 450 kilometres. These tests come amid heightened military and diplomatic tensions between Pakistan and India following recent border clashes and sharp political rhetoric.
