What is the cost of Fatah-II Pakistani missile, intercepted in Sirsa, Haryana?
Pakistani missile Fatah-II was launched by the Pakistan Army under Operation Bunyan Ul Marsoos in the early hours of May 10 in India. The long-range missile was intercepted in Sirsa, Haryana and its parts were found there. Fatah-II is considered one of the powerful air defence technologies in the world. It is a long-range ballistic missile. This means it can hit targets with an error margin of just 10 metres.
Fatah-II, considered the second version of this missile system, strikes a range of 400 kilometres and can deliver ballistic payloads to far-off distances with precision. It is reported that the missiles hit approximately 90% of their targets.
Fatah-II missile cost
The Fattah-II missile is characterised by its high speed and manoeuvrability, making it one of the fastest supersonic missiles. Its speed reaches approximately 10,000 miles (around 16,000 km) per hour, which makes it difficult to intercept with air defense systems. To determine how long it would take for a missile traveling at 16,000 km/h to cover a distance of 450 km, where Sirsa is. We calculated and it would take approximately 1 minute and 41 seconds for the missile to travel 450 km.
The cost of a Fattah-II missile is estimated at around $100,000 (Rs 8543000).
The flare-up has sharply intensified the already fraught relationship between India and Pakistan. Among the Indian areas affected were Baramulla, Srinagar, Avantipora, Nagrota, Jammu, Ferozpur, Pathankot, Fazilka, Lalgarh Jatta, Jaisalmer, Barmer, Bhuj, Kuarbet, and Lakhi Nala. The most concerning incident involved in Ferozpur last night, where an armed drone strike on a local family, leaving them injured.
