FATAH-I (BATTLE PROVEN GUIDED MULTI LAUNCH ROCKET SYSTEM)​

The MLRS FATAH-I is an advanced guided rocket system characterized by fast reaction, long range, high accuracy and firepower of high density. Its mission is to precisely attack and destroy enemy’s group and area targets, such as military bases, massive armored troops, missile launching sites, large airports, harbors and other important facilities.

Confirming a 750 km strike range - Pakistan Today

In contrast, Fatah-IV trades speed for subsonic stealth, flying at ~Mach 0.7.

A prominent milestone in this evolution is the Fatah-IV ground-launched cruise missile, operated by the Pakistan Army's Rocket Force Command. Flight testing and training launches have validated its operational envelope, confirming a 750 km strike range with a conventional warhead (~330 kg class).
Fatah-IV vs. U.S. Tomahawk: Fatah-IV and the U.S. Tomahawk belong to the exact same weapon category: subsonic, air-breathing, long-range land-attack cruise missiles. Both utilize pop-out wings, a solid boost phase, and an ultra-low terrain-following flight profile to remain undetected. The Tomahawk, however, represents a mature, heavy-category LACM with over twice the range (1,600+ km) and a larger 450 kg payload. Modern Tomahawk variants (Block V) also integrate two-way satellite communications, allowing them to loiter on station, send real-time imagery back to commanders, and change targets mid-flight. Fatah-IV fulfills a similar low-altitude land-attack doctrine tailored specifically to regional operational depths.

By operationalizing systems like the Fatah-IV Pakistan continues to refine its conventional precision-strike architecture—enabling long-range deterrence below the strategic nuclear threshold.

ORGANISATION OF PAK ARMY ROCKET FORCE COMMAND

(Will this organisation guarantee Pakistan Military Concept of FULL SPECTRUM DETERRANCE ?)

A structure, based on OSINT, for Pakistan Army Rocket Force Command (ARFC) has been designed (Pic1). The assumed organisation of ARFC is based on existing organisation of army AD Command. This appreciated organisation is based on information from various images of FATAH systems circulated since 14 Aug 2025.

1. HQ ARFC. HQ ARFC is assumed to be located with GHQ with Lt Gen Md Ishaq Khatak as it's Comdr & Maj Gen Ameer Md Umrani as it's Chief of Staff. It has two COMPOSITE ROCKET DIVs (CRDs) - one is North CRD based on existing 2 Artillery Div (Gujaranwala) & second is South CRD based on 21 Artillery Div (Pano Aqil). These divs should be named as composite Rocket Divs as they have both Rocket Brigades & gun brigade. The Rocket Brigades are likely to have up to three Rocket Artillery units - based on A100s, FATAHs. The gun brigades are likely to have long range gun units such as SH-15s.

2. CRD North. Based on existing 2 Artillery Div, Gujaranwala. This shall provide the rocket & gun force to the Central Command area as well as parts of Rawalpindi Corps.

3. CRD South. Based on existing 21 Artillery Div, Pano Aqil. This shall provide the rocket & gun force to Southern Command.

4. Imp Notes.

- Some conversions, some new raising happening to realise the CRDs. Few MBRL & missile units are being converted to Rocket units.

- Each CRD to have ISR & target acquiring Drone units with separable drone squadrons to accompany rocket & gun units.

- Communication & logistics units of existing divs being re-organised.

-Dispersal plan, unit locations, are being worked out.

-Role of ARFC based on low intensity & high intensity conflict scenarios being worked out.

Pic1: Appreciate Organisation of ARFC

Pic2: FATAH series of 2 Artillery Div

Pic3: FATAH series of 21 Artillery Div

Pic4: Existing sys of MBRL & MLRS being converted to Rocket units.

What do you think of this appreciated organisation? How will this organisation contribute to the concept of Full Spectrum Deterrance of Pakistan Military? How should India neutralize this newly acquired capability by Pakistan; does India has required wherewithals or need to create new organisation or strategy?
