⚡️🇵🇰 A few questions arise here. Why did Pakistan introduce a long-range artillery system when it already possesses short-range ballistic missiles (SRBMs) with similar ranges? What benefits are associated with the Fatah-II rocket? The answer lies in Fatah-II’s lower costs, ability to conduct deep strike missions, short sensor-to-shooter response time, and precision strike capability.
Fatah-II provides more bang for Pakistan’s buck because it has low production and operational costs compared to sensitive systems like SRBMs. Ballistic missiles have high maintenance and operational costs and require separate storage sites and staff to maintain them, while Fatah-II can easily blend with the MLRS fleet. Besides, the sensor-to-shooter response time of Fatah-II is significantly shorter, making it a preferable choice for operational commanders.
