“Indigenously developed modern missile is proof of Pakistan’s scientific self-reliance,” it quoted the president as saying. “Fatah-4 missile will further strengthen Pakistan’s defense capabilities.”
The president further said that the nation is “proud of the hard work and determination of its scientists and engineers”, adding that Pakistan’s defence “is and will remain impregnable”.
Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi also extended heartfelt congratulations to scientists, engineers, and the country’s military leadership on the successful test of the indigenously developed Fatah-IV cruise missile, according to a statement.
Calling the achievement a “remarkable milestone,” the minister said the successful test stands as a testament to the dedication and expertise of Pakistan’s scientists and engineers working under the Pakistan Army.
“I also congratulate the entire nation on this historic success,” Mohsin Naqvi said, adding that the development marks a reliable step forward in strengthening the country’s defense capabilities.
He further emphasized that the successful trial reflects Pakistan’s unwavering resolve to keep its defense impregnable.
Last month, it was reported that Pakistan has added a new arm to its military — the Army Rocket Force Command — tasked with building a long-range conventional strike capability to give the army a sharper edge over arch-rival India.
In May, Pakistan conducted a successful training launch of a Fatah Series surface-to-surface missile with a range of 120km as part of “Ex Indus”, the Inter-Services Public Relations had said in a statement.
