Heavy-calibre weapons, Aggregate heavy artillery and mortar category, Artillery2025 India-Pakistan ConflictHeavy-calibre weaponsAggregate heavy artillery and mortar categoryBuilt: Various manufacturers / Multiple countriesHeavy-calibre weapons is a conservative aggregate entry for the mortars and heavy-calibre artillery publicly cited in the 2025 India-Pakistan Conflict. Indian Ministry of Defence reporting attributed intensified Pakistani Line of Control shelling to mortars and heavy-calibre artillery, but did not identify the exact Pakistani gun or mortar models, so this record documents the sourced category rather than a specific weapon system.
Fatah-I / Fatah-1, Guided multiple launch rocket system, Artillery2025 India-Pakistan ConflictFatah-I / Fatah-1Guided multiple launch rocket systemBuilt: National Engineering and Scientific Commission (NESCOM) / Global Industrial & Defence Solutions / PakistanThe Fatah-I, also written Fatah-1, is a Pakistani guided multiple launch rocket system built for conventional precision fires at roughly 140 km range. In the 2025 India-Pakistan Conflict, Pakistani accounts and subsequent reporting identify Fatah-1 alongside Fatah-2 as part of Operation Bunyan-un-Marsoos strikes against Indian military targets.
Fatah-II / Fatah-2, Guided surface-to-surface rocket / missile system, Artillery2025 India-Pakistan ConflictFatah-II / Fatah-2Guided surface-to-surface rocket / missile systemBuilt: Global Industrial & Defence Solutions (GIDS) / NESCOM / PakistanFatah-II, also written Fatah-2, is a Pakistani long-range guided surface-to-surface rocket or tactical missile system developed for conventional stand-off precision fires. Public reporting describes a mobile two-round launcher, INS/GNSS guidance, a 365 kg conventional warhead, and a domestic range claim of up to about 400 km, with export-oriented specifications often citing 100-290 km. During the 2025 India-Pakistan Conflict it was reported in Indian and independent accounts as part of Pakistan's missile escalation, with the best public evidence pointing to an attempted strike intercepted near Sirsa.
