Pakistani-made Range Extension Kit (REK) guidance units, able to be strapped on to a general-purpose unguided bomb, turning it into a standoff range precision-guided munition. There are three variants of the REK kits in PAF service, including 60 km and 120 km ranged glide bombs, and a 200+ km ranged boosted glide bomb.

The weapon system has been combat tested, four of them hitting intended targets behind enemy lines in highly-contested airspace inside Indian-occupied territory in February, 2019.

These used in addition to H-4s ? As H-4s were definitely used that day. Video from one of H-4s were made public by PAF where pilot maneuvered the bomb in last moment to open area.

Are the REKs fire & forgot OR they have remote guidance like H-4s?

F&F - ReKs get either a pre-programmed target or they can get a target updated on the fly based on grid coordinates.
