750km was for F4. Both F3/F4 cannot have 750km range.

That's what @Panzerkiel said in July.
I think it's PA diversify it response options if they fire subsonic ones we will be firing Raads and F4s.
If they fire supersonic or any other BM we will be firing F3/Abdali
@Panzerkiel was it meant for Rocket force at least you can answer this Sir.

One is a cruise missile the other is a ballistic missile

F3 has 700km range

 

[Bilal]

F3 has 700km range

Per 23 March parade announcement it’s 450km.

He's actually quoting panzerkiel but let's see this years 23 march where hopefully ARFC takes part

That might be. But what was announced officially is F3 450km and f4 700km. It’s been true for F4.

Fatah-3 hasn't been revealed yet? Or am i missing something

 

[Bilal]

Fatah-3 hasn't been revealed yet? Or am i missing something

No, unfortunately. There are speculations that either what was revealed as Abdali 2 (450 km range) is F3 in conventional role or it’s a supersonic cruise missile not revealed yet.

 

[Ibbi32]

Isnt it just a conventional abdali missile?

 

[Ibbi32]

No, unfortunately. There are speculations that either what was revealed as Abdali 2 (450 km range) is F3 in conventional role or it’s a supersonic cruise missile not revealed yet.

Is there really any point in fatah series when half of them are just rebranded hatf series? Used to be about long range rockets but now theyre just throwing together any conventional long range SSM under the name

Makes zero sense to make a 450 km ballistic missile when Fatah-2 with 400 km exists. It's more likely that Abdali 2 shares lineage with Fatah-2 and Fatah-3 is something else entirely in the 700-750km range.

 

[Bilal]

Isnt it just a conventional abdali missile?

One possibility.

Simplified command structure. You don’t need to call NCA meeting for one.
