Pakistan Army Announces Fatah IV-ER Test

[Bratva]

It's rebranded Babur-1B ER with tweaks to get it to 1000-1100 KM.

Babur-1B ER was tested 5 years ago. At that time, range quoted was 800-900 KM.

Enhanced version of cruise missile tested successfully​

A lot of design changes between Fatah and Babur series especially in the ER.
Missile seems bulkier and longer, with different wing configuration and intake.

We need to have solid 1000-1500km option


If the baseline is 750km

Then the E.R version should be at least 1000km minimum

The whole purpose of the rocket force is to have multiple options that we can mass produce to some extent to fight a intensive war where your air force may be pushed back due to A.D


This is great but I'm more interested in our supersonic/hypersonic option

Subsonics would be more difficult to stop especially given the terrain we have Mumbai can be hit via the sea route Delhi can be hit from Kashmir and beyond. While shorter range F series takes out targets in Punjab, Gujrat and Rajasthan.
You won't see BM and hypersonics used with freedom or freely, both are nuclear powers.

hyper focus is required on drones, missiles and second strike capability.

Sometimes their is a reason for that

The Babus are still living in Unnis so deyrh. Those "Reasons" are long gone. Those who need to know, already know. They got satellite imagery

time to test this on the talibunnies!

You wanna waste a missile that cost millions of dollars on Taliban? bruhhhhhh

Wasn't the whole point for the Fatah series to be expendable cheaper missiles to use in massive waves and to have a conventional strike package?

It can not be that expensive else it kind of loses its intended purpose.

F-1 &2's not this F4's which is clearly a low flying CM's, these are for Indian high value targets. For taliban use Armed drones, Fateh 1 rockets, and unguided 500-1000lbs bombs.

Tell that to the babays. If you notice they have started to hide details (launcher picture etc) and are now showing very short ultra low res videos since a few years again. They became more open but have regressed back to their paranoid antics.

Babur 1 B , looked very different and was smaller. Had a stated range of 700km.

Whats the range? The potato camera video shows nothing . ISPR should buy new cameras. All their cameras are VGA, not even 420p .

It may be that way by design, no?

 

[safriz]

I see quite a few downward facing sensors at the front.

they don't want to sow everything very clearly

And addition of inhouse/homegrown IIR seeker used in previous Fatah test.

This test seems to validate range and new sub systems and was without IIR seeker.. Most probably the impact was in sea hence no impact video this time
