RAWALPINDI: Inter-Services Public Relations announced on Tuesday that the Pakistan Army successfully conducted a training launch of the indigenously developed Fateh-II missile system as part of an operational readiness exercise.
According to the military’s media wing, the training launch was carried out by the Army Rocket Force Command to evaluate the operational capabilities and technical performance of the advanced missile system. The Fateh-II missile is equipped with modern avionics and state-of-the-art navigational technology designed to improve precision, targeting accuracy, and battlefield survivability.
The ISPR said the exercise was aimed at training troops, validating key technical parameters, and assessing the performance of multiple sub-systems integrated into the missile platform. Officials stated that the successful launch reflects Pakistan’s growing indigenous defense production capabilities and advancements in missile technology.
The launch event was witnessed by senior officials from the Strategic Plans Division, Army Rocket Force Command, and the Pakistan Army, along with scientists and engineers associated with the country’s strategic organizations.

The Fateh missile series is considered an important part of Pakistan’s modern defense strategy, focusing on precision strike capability and enhanced operational effectiveness.
