ARFC reportedly conducted a successful training launch of the Fatah-4 Ground-Launched Cruise Missile (GLCM), featuring new sensors and an extended range that proponents say enables precision strikes beyond 750 km against high-value targets. The exercise also tests salvo-launch concepts as part of broader modernization of strike capabilities. In parallel, sources describe plans to develop UG missile cities in Sindh and Balochistan modeled on a 'mini Iran' blueprint. While these technological strides demonstrate deterrence potential and defense modernization, they raise serious questions about regional stability, risk of miscalculation, civilian harm, and a potential arms race. My view is that missile technology progress should be balanced by transparency, restraint, and robust diplomacy. Without strong arms-control measures, verification, and confidence-building efforts, these advances risk heightening tensions rather than enhancing security. The international community should prioritize dialogue, openness, and adherence to nonproliferation norms to prevent escalation and protect civilian lives.
