The Fatah-II Guided Rocket System has a range of 240 miles. It also features a state-of-the-art navigation system, unique trajectory, and maneuverable capabilities. It can engage targets with high precision and defeat any missile defense system, the statement said and added that Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and military congratulated the scientists and engineers behind the rocket system, as well as troops who ensured a successful launch. Pakistan’s military often conducts test-fires of home-developed cruise missiles and weapons in an effort to showcase its ability to counter any threat from India.
