The launch was witnessed by senior officers from the Pakistan Army, alongside scientists and engineers from the developing agency. The Fatah-4 was first publicly confirmed by Pakistan in 2025, when the Army conducted a successful training launch of the newly inducted Ground-Launched Cruise Missile.

At that time, ISPR said the system featured advanced avionics and state-of-the-art navigational aids and was capable of engaging targets with high precision. A further training fire was conducted in May 2026 by the Army Rocket Force Command.

ISPR said the exercise validated technical parameters of various sub-systems while focusing on improved accuracy and enhanced survivability. The President and Prime Minister of Pakistan, along with the Chief of Army Staff and Chief of Defence Forces and the Services Chiefs, commended the successful test launch of the Fatah-4 extended version.
