| Source measurement | The Fatah-I was first test fired on 7 January 2021, with a stated range of up to 140 kilometers (87 miles). An extended range variant was test fired on 24 August 2021, with an increased range of 150 km. The Fatah-II was test fired on December 27, 2023, with a range of 400 kilometres.[source]Fatah (multiple rocket launcher) · Development history; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage The Fatah was first used in combat on 18 January 2024, where it was used to strike militant and insurgent targets and hideouts of the Balochistan Liberation Army and the Balochistan Liberation Front 20 km (12 miles) deep into Iran's Sistan and Baluchestan province , which reportedly killed 9 foreign nationals according to Iran. The strikes were in retaliation for Iranian attacks in Pakistan 2 days earlier which Iran claimed targeted Jaysh al-Adl militants in Pakistan. Such Pakistani strikes were the first known instances of attacks on Iranian soil since the end of the Iran–Iraq War . Both BLA and BLF later acknowledged the deaths of their people in the operation.[source]Fatah (multiple rocket launcher) · Deployment; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage In September 2025, Pakistan announced its first "training launch" of the land-based surface-to-surface Fatah-IV cruise missile. The army's media wing ( ISPR ) described the test as "successful", saying that the test was witnessed by senior military officials as well as scientific teams involved in the missile's development. The indigenously developed missile covered a reported range of 750 kilometres during the test, matching previously published range claims and is equipped with "advanced avionics and navigational aids," and it employs a terrain-hugging flight profile intended to reduce the risk of radar detection. It formed a major part of the arsenal of the Pakistan Army 's then-newly established Army Rocket Force Command .[source]Fatah (multiple rocket launcher) · Variants / Fatah-IV; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage In 2026 it was reported that Pakistan was to test the Fatah-V, with an expected range of 950–1000 km.[source]Fatah (multiple rocket launcher) · Variants / Fatah-V; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage | — |
