  • <p>May 2025- Pakistan’s new Fatah-II guided rocket system significantly enhances its long-range precision-strike capability. With a fast, low-altitude “kryptonite” flight profile, heavy 365-kg warhead, and terminal guidance, it sharply reduces interception windows and threatens India’s rear-area infrastructure. Lessons from Ukraine, Gaza, and Nagorno-Karabakh show how such guided rockets can overwhelm outdated air defence and demand layered sensors, integrated air-defence networks, and strong EW support. India has begun upgrading radars, SAM tiers, and EW suites to counter this threat. Ultimately, Fatah-II signals a regional shift: battlefield rocket artillery is becoming precise, fast, and hard to stop, forcing both India and Pakistan to rethink doctrine, defence, and escalation dynamics.</p>
