In response to recent Indian aggression, Pakistan launched a decisive and strategically coordinated counterstrike on Saturday morning, targeting multiple high-value military installations across India using advanced Fatah-2 missiles. The operation, codenamed “Bunyan al-Marsous”, showcased Pakistan's swift retaliation capabilities and technological superiority in precision warfare.

Targeted Indian Locations:

Pakistan India Border Areas

According to official Pakistani defense sources, more than 20 critical Indian military facilities were hit. These included:

Beas: Destruction of BrahMos missile storage facility.

Udhampur: Complete annihilation of air defense systems and airbase.

Pathankot: Direct hit on the airfield.

Srinagar: Airbase destroyed, with over 20 Indian personnel killed.

Jalandhar, Rajasthan, and Chandigarh: Ammunition depots and bases struck with high accuracy.

Hisar (near Delhi): One missile was intercepted; Delhi was considered a potential target.

The strikes were executed with precision to ensure damage was limited strictly to military assets, minimizing civilian casualties.

Weapon Used: The Fatah-2 Missile

Pakistan deployed the cutting-edge Fatah-2 surface-to-surface missile, known for its exceptional precision and maneuverability.

Key Features of the Fatah-2

Range: Up to 400 km

Guidance System:Satellite-based GPS/GLONAS

Inertial Navigation System (INS)

Accuracy: Less than 10 meters CEP (Circular Error Probable)

Launch Platform: Mobile dual-missile launcher trucks

Warhead: High-explosive or fragmentation

Adaptive Flight Path: Capable of in-flight trajectory corrections

Role of Satellite Navigation

The Fatah-2 missile’s advanced satellite-guided system allowed for centimeter-level targeting precision:

1. Real-time adjustments during flight

2. Locked GPS coordinates of military assets

3. Ability to evade radar and strike in complex environments

4. Ensured minimal damage to nearby civilian areas

This technological edge gives Pakistan a significant advantage in modern warfare scenarios

India’s S-400 Defense System: Why It Failed

India has deployed the Russian-made S-400 “Triumf” air defense system, one of the most powerful anti-air missile shields in the world. It can detect threats up to 600 km and engage 36 targets simultaneously.

However, the Fatah-2’s low-altitude flight path, unpredictable trajectory, and GPS-guided accuracy rendered the S-400 ineffective during these strikes. The system is better suited for high-altitude or ballistic threats, and it struggled to track the Fatah-2’s stealthy and low-level approach. As a result, even areas near Delhi remained vulnerable
