Fatah (multiple Rocket Launcher)
The Fatah (, "Victory"), is a family of guided multiple rocket launchers developed by Pakistan. It consists of rockets of different calibers and ranges. History Development The Fatah is reportedly a result of Pakistan's efforts to shift the reliance of its armed forces from foreign arms to domestic weaponry. The Ministry of Defence Production revealed a project initiated between 2015-2016 which it said was aimed to develop an "extended range MLRS" with teams from Global Industrial Defence Solutions leading the R&D program. Fatah-I was test fired on January 7, 2021, with the Pakistani government claiming a range of up to 140 kilometers (87 miles). Fatah-II was test fired on December 27, 2023 with a range of 400 kilometers. Combat use During the 2025 India–Pakistan conflict, Pakistan fired Fatah-I rockets at targets within India. The Indian government claimed that most rockets were intercepted with no reported damage to the targets. Variants Fatah-I Fatah-I was ...

Multiple Rocket Launcher
A multiple rocket launcher (MRL) or multiple launch rocket system (MLRS) is a type of rocket artillery system that contains multiple rocket launcher, launchers which are fixed to a single weapons platform, platform, and shoots its rocket (weapon), rocket ordnance in a fashion similar to a volley gun. Rockets are self-propelled in flight and have different capabilities than conventional artillery shell (projectile), shells, such as longer effective range, lower recoil, typically considerably higher payload than a similarly sized gun artillery platform, or even carrying multiple warheads. Unguided rocket artillery is notoriously inaccurate and slow to reload compared to gun artillery. A multiple rocket launcher helps compensate for this with its ability to launch multiple rockets in rapid succession, which, coupled with the large blast radius, kill zone of each warhead, can easily deliver saturation fire over a target area. However, modern rockets can use GPS or inertial guidance t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

2025 India–Pakistan Conflict
The 2025 India–Pakistan conflict was a brief armed conflict between India and Pakistan that began on 7 May 2025, after India launched missile strikes on Pakistan, in a military campaign codenamed Operation Sindoor. India said that the operation was in response to the Pahalgam terrorist attack in Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir on 22 April 2025 in which 26 civilians were killed. India accused Pakistan of supporting cross-border terrorism, which Pakistan denied. On 7 May, India launched Operation Sindoor with missile strikes on terrorism-related infrastructure facilities of Pakistan-based militant groups Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Azad Kashmir, and said that no Pakistani military or civilian facilities were targeted. According to Pakistan, the Indian strikes hit civilian areas, including mosques, and resulted in civilian casualties. Following these strikes, there were border skirmishes and drone strikes between the two c ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

TAS5450
The TAIAN TA5450/TAS5450 is a 25 ton transporter erector launcher that primarily carries ballistic missiles. However, it is also able to carry other weapon systems such as rockets and conventional missiles. Despite sometimes being called the TA5450, the actual official designation of the vehicle is the TAS5450. The TA5450 is actually the designation of the vehicle's base chassis, while the TAS5450 refers to the vehicle itself. Description The TA5450/TAS5450 is an 8x8 TEL configuration. As it is around the same size as its cousin, the TA580/TAS5380 and the WS2400, the relatively small size of the TA5450/TAS5450 means that it could only carry a maximum payload equal to the curb weight of the vehicle itself. Contrast this to the much larger WS2500 and the WS2600, which could mount far heavier payloads due to the larger size of the TELs. Because of its payload, the TA5450/TAS5450 primarily carries the DF-15B and the DF-15C short range ballistic missiles. However, it is just as po ...

Babur (cruise Missile)
The Babur (Urdu: بابر; Military designated: Hatf-VII, ''Translit'': ''Target–7'') is an all-weather, subsonic cruise missile reverse-engineered by the National Defence Complex (NDC) from the U.S. ''Tomahawk'' missile. ''Babur'' entered military service with the Pakistan Army in 2010; subsequent variants evolved into a submarine-launched missile, which saw deployment with the Pakistan Navy in 2018. According to the Pakistani military, a SLCM-variant of ''Babur'' has provided Pakistan a much desired and long-sought "credible sea-based second-strike capability, augmenting existing strategic deterrence." Development history Development on ''Babur'' began in 1998. At that time, India was establishing a missile defense program that included the acquisition of the S-300 ''Grumble'' from Russia and Patriot PAC-3 systems from the United States. These developments prompted Pakistani war strategists to pursue cruise missile technology that could evade and penetrate Indian ...

Surface-to-surface Missiles Of Pakistan
A surface-to-surface missile (SSM) is a missile designed to be launched from the ground or the sea and strike targets on land or at sea. They may be fired from hand-held or vehicle mounted devices, from fixed installations, or from a ship. They are often powered by a rocket engine or sometimes fired by an explosive charge, since the launching platform is typically stationary or moving slowly. They usually have fins and/or wings for lift and stability, although hyper-velocity or short-ranged missiles may use body lift or fly a ballistic trajectory. The first operational surface-to-surface missile was the V-1 flying bomb, it was powered by a pulsejet engine. Contemporary surface-to-surface missiles are usually guided. An unguided surface-to-surface missile is usually referred to as a rocket (for example, an RPG-7 or M72 LAW is an anti-tank rocket), whereas a BGM-71 TOW or AT-2 Swatter is an anti-tank guided missile. Examples of surface-to-surface missile include the MGM-140 ATACMS ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
