Pakistan’s military announced the successful test-firing of the Fatah-4, a long-range surface-to-surface missile with a range of 750 kilometers. This missile is designed to enhance Pakistan’s conventional missile capabilities, featuring advanced avionics and precision targeting that allows it to evade air defenses. The test underscores Pakistan’s ongoing efforts to bolster its military readiness amid long-standing tensions with India, with whom it has fought three wars since 1947. The development raises concerns regarding regional stability, as both nations continue to modernize their arsenals, highlighting the necessity for India to advance its own defense strategies and maintain a credible deterrent in the face of evolving threats.
