In the lead up to its special event commemorating 14 August (the day Pakistan was formed out of British India), the Pakistan Army (PA) revealed the Fatah-IV: a land-attack cruise missile (LACM) with a range of 750 km.

Prior to this event, Quwa had assumed that the Fatah-IV would be a longer-range guided rocket or ballistic missile derived from the Fatah-II. Indeed, until this point, every Fatah variant was a guided rocket. Instead, however, it appears that the PA is now deploying LACMs as part of its long-range precision-strike capability.

The Fatah-IV’s official specifications are as follow:

• Range: 750 km
• Mass: 1,530 kg
• Length: 7.5 m
• Speed: Mach 0.7
• Accuracy: 5 m CEP
• Minimum Flight Altitude: 50 m
• Warhead Type: Blast Fragmentation
• Warhead Weight: 330 kg

The existence of the Fatah-IV was originally revealed during the 2024 Pakistan Day Parade, when the event announcers spoke of it as a future addition to the Fatah family of surface-to-surface missiles (SSM). At that time, there had also been a Fatah-III in development as a 450 km-range missile, however it appears that this design was re-designated as the Abdali Missile System, which the PA officially revealed and test-fired in May in the lead up to the recent conflict with India. It is unclear how – or if – the Fatah-III designation will now be used.

Apparently, the FATAH-4 was also displayed outside Jinnah Stadium. This would mark the first time the system has been unveiled to the public (it had been previously acknowledged to be in development). Interestingly, it bears a striking resemblance to the Harbah-NG, a subsonic,… pic.twitter.com/rx5GoeUxcF
