Pakistan’s military has successfully test-fired an upgraded Fatah-2 Extended Range (ER) hypersonic ballistic missile, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said.

The weapon is equipped with advanced avionics and modern navigation systems. ISPR said it is designed to maneuver along unpredictable mid-flight trajectories, penetrate enemy air-defense networks and strike high-value targets deep inside hostile territory.
