History
Development
The Fatah is reportedly a result of Pakistan's efforts to shift the reliance of its armed forces from foreign arms to domestic weaponry. The Ministry of Defence Production revealed a project initiated between 2015-2016 which it said was aimed to develop an "extended range MLRS" with teams from Global Industrial Defence Solutions leading the R&D program. [3]
Fatah-I was test fired on January 7, 2021, with the Pakistani government claiming a range of up to 140 kilometers (87 miles).[1] Fatah-II was test fired on December 27, 2023 with a range of 400 kilometers.[4][5]
Combat use
During the 2025 India-Pakistan conflict, Pakistan fired Fatah-I and Fatah-II rockets at targets within India.[6][7]
The Indian government claimed that most rockets were intercepted with no reported damage to the targets.[8]
Variants
Fatah-I
Fatah-I was the first missile in the Fatah rocket series. The missile is equipped with advanced navigation and guidance systems, allowing it to engage a variety of targets with high accuracy.[1]
The Fatah-I can be launched from a variety of platforms, providing flexibility in its deployment. It was primarily developed as a short to medium-range precision strike system.[1]
Fatah-II
The Fatah-II is a longer-range and more advanced version of the Fatah-I. [9]
The Fatah-II is mounted on a Chinese Taian TAS5450 eight-wheel drive chassis, providing enhanced mobility and operational flexibility. It integrates satellite and inertial navigation systems.
