The Army Rocket Force Command conducted the successful training launch of the indigenously developed Fateh-II missile system, the military’s media wing said on Tuesday.

In a statement, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said that the missile system was “equipped with advanced avionics and state-of-the-art navigation aids”.

It said that the training launch was aimed at training troops, validating various technical parameters and evaluating the performance of different sub-systems incorporated for “improved accuracy and enhanced survivability”.

ISPR added that the launch was witnessed by senior officers from the Strategic Plans Division (SPD), Army Rocket Force Command, and the Pakistan Army, as well as scientists and engineers from “strategic organisations”.

“The forum commended [the] successful training fire of [the] indigenously developed missile of Fateh series,” the statement added.

According to ISPR, President Asif Ali Zardari, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, and Chief of Defence Forces and Chief of Army Staff Field Marshal Asim Munir, as well as services chiefs, lauded the “technical prowess, dedication and commitment” of the team.

In September 2025, the Pakistan Army successfully conducted the training launch of the cruise missile Fatah-4 at a range of 750 kilometres. In May last year, the army test-launched a surface-to-surface missile with a range of 120km under the Fatah series amid heightened tensions with India.

The same month, Pakistan also successfully tested the Abdali weapon system, a surface-to-surface ballistic missile with a reported range of 450km.

Over the past month, the Pakistan Navy has also conducted successful missile tests, including the indigenously developed ‘Taimoor’ air-launched cruise missile and an anti-ship ballistic missile.
