Please excuse my ignorance as I am not a professional in this field, however, is it possible that such a missile could be brought down via electronic or cyber warfare?
Quite intriguing to see PL-15E on the planes and not PL-15. Perhaps the Chinese still did not want to sell the PL-15? Or perhaps PAF has assessed that the PL-15E are sufficient for the threat environment.

Yes it’s your national property but is foreign investment inherently bad? I don’t think so. In my view, if this news is true, the Pakistan government should focus on investing or attracting investment for downstream capabilities (e.g. refineries) - this would keep more of the value chain in...
