You are correct - but the intention for Fatah-1 (not 2) was more in line with what Nasr has been for the PA for nearly a decade. PA Can’t indefinitely rely on their basic strategy in response to an Indian ground assault to be to just launch a tactical nuke on its own soil. For a long time the conventional gap between the two countries was big enough to where this was the only solution.Nasr is a tactical nuclear ballistic missile. Fatah is a GMLRS
Now with SH15s and Fatah-1 this is no longer the case, PA now considers itself fully capable of holding back an Indian armored thrust conventionally, this is a massive deal given the status quo of the region since both countries for nukes.
This doesn’t mean the system Can’t be employed in other roles, modern systems are always as multi-role as possible to cut down on costs - but it also mean that Pakistan has to think twice before expending it’s Arsenal in an offensive move when they might be needed defensively.
