Pakistan Navy test-fires indigenously developed anti-ship ballistic missile

Pakistan Navy has successfully carried out a test flight of an indigenously developed ship-launched anti-ship ballistic missile, the military’s media wing said on Tuesday.

According to ISPR, the missile is capable of striking both sea and land targets with high accuracy. It is equipped with advanced guidance technology and enhanced manoeuvrability features.

The test was witnessed by Chief of Naval Staff Admiral Naveed Ashraf, along with senior scientists and engineers involved in the project.

ISPR said the successful test reflects Pakistan’s growing technological capability and the Navy’s commitment to safeguarding national security and maritime interests.

The president, prime minister, field marshal, chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee and the services chiefs congratulated the participating units and scientists on what the statement described as a significant milestone.

On September 30, the Pakistan Army successfully conducted the training launch of Fatah-4, a newly inducted, indigenously developed ground-launched cruise missile with a range of 750 kilometres.

Equipped with advanced avionics and state-of-the-art navigational systems, Fatah-4 is capable of evading enemy missile defence through terrain-hugging flight and can engage targets with high precision, according to ISPR.

The launch was witnessed by the Chief of General Staff, senior military officers, and teams of scientists and engineers who contributed to the system’s development.

The missile is part of the Army Rocket Force Command and is designed to enhance the reach, lethality, and survivability of Pakistan’s conventional missile systems.
