update: The system also launch loitering munition.

Nice prediction on the last part, but turns out they ended up using the CM-400AKG quasi-ballistic weapon, which is likely very similar in flight characteristics to the Fatah-II itself, which is interesting.
(Possible that Fatah-II might even be derived from it or from a similar Chinese missile).

Isn't that how most quasi-ballistic missiles function though? With a depressed trajectory from the traditional ballistic trajectory but the actual maneuverability being limited.
I find it difficult to believe Pakistan has come up with a distinct 'supersonic glide vehicle' that isn't utilised by others militaries or wasn't at least considered. It seems like a typical missile similar to the Iskander, with limited maneuverability, depressed flight trajectory, and precision strike at less than 10m CEP.

Quasi ballistic missiles don’t just have depressed trajectory but also a glide phase.

Right. I was just confused with the term "supersonic glide vehicle" to describe the Fatah-II as it made it seem like a distinct/unique system to other quasi-ballistic missiles out there like Iskander, etc. Just confirming it's roughly the same kind of system.
Anyway to add to this thread, here's what a GIDS leaflet describes the export orientated version of Fatah-II:
"FATAH-II is an indigenously designed, state-of-the-art, twin canister (oblique-launched), non-ballistic, all course manoeuver, supersonic, highly accurate weapon system capable of carrying conventional warheads up to 290KM"
Subedar Pawan Kumar was killed while he was sleeping in his bed room in living quarters of Indian army
That should give you an idea how well SH15 has performed even though it didn't get as much hype as it should have
is FATEH 2 range is 290 KM or 400 KM?

400km. 290km is stated for the export variant.

"Digital links" suggest targeting and targeting correction can be done remotely, or via satellites?

must be a combination of all of those things. I think its about the battery's ability to perform with receiving real time info and leaving the area before counter battery fire can be performed. in network centric environment."Digital links" suggest targeting and targeting correction can be done remotely, or via satellites?

is there any truth to this?

What about F1/2s, how well they performed?.
