In this week’s episode of Defence Uncut, the discussion centers on the Pakistan Army and the significant shift marked by the establishment of its new Rocket Force Command.
This move is more than a simple organizational change; it represents a noteworthy evolution…
The formation of ‘Army Rocket Force Command’ (ARFC) cements the PA’s multi-year effort to build its independent stand-off range precision-strike capability as not just a doctrine, but an organized element with its own command structure, concept of operations, and objectives.
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.
The Fatah-series, developed by Pakistan’s National Engineering and Scientific Commission (NESCOM) and marketed by Global Industrial and Defence Solutions (GIDS), is a family of guided rocket systems designed to enhance the Pakistan Army’s (PA) stand-off range precision-strike capabilities.
