Fatah-4 Cruise Missile

Defense Systems Full Specifications

The Fatah-4 is a Pakistani ground-launched cruise missile designed for long-range conventional precision strike missions. It forms part of Pakistan’s Fatah family of surface-to-surface weapons and is associated with the Army Rocket Force Command. Pakistan officially disclosed the missile in 2025 with a stated range of 750 km and later conducted training and test launches.

The missile uses a low-altitude, terrain-hugging flight profile intended to reduce exposure to radar-based defenses. Pakistan’s military has described the system as incorporating advanced avionics and navigational aids for precision engagement and improved survivability. The missile is intended for conventional land-attack missions rather than air-launched employment.

On October 6, 2026, Pakistan successfully tested an extended-range version of the Fatah-4. The military stated that the test validated additional subsystem parameters intended to improve accuracy and survivability. The exact range of this extended version has not been officially disclosed.

Manufacturer

The Fatah missile family is associated with Pakistan’s state-owned Global Industrial & Defence Solutions (GIDS). The Fatah-4 is described as an indigenously developed Pakistani weapon system. Publicly available official information does not provide a complete breakdown of the organizations responsible for every subsystem.

Speed and Range

The original Fatah-4 specification displayed publicly in Pakistan lists a range of 750 km and a maximum speed of approximately Mach 0.7. The missile has also been reported with a terrain-hugging flight profile and a maximum altitude of about 50 meters.

Public assessments have associated the missile with satellite-aided inertial navigation and terrain-contour or scene-matching technology, although Pakistan has not publicly released a complete guidance architecture. The October 2026 extended-range variant has not received an official range or speed figure.

Cost/Price

Pakistan has not publicly disclosed a unit procurement price for the Fatah-4. Development and production costs are also not available in reliable official sources. Any specific dollar figure should therefore be treated as unverified.

The Fatah-4’s primary significance is its combination of ground launch, long-range conventional strike capability, low-altitude flight, and precision navigation within Pakistan’s expanding conventional missile force.
