These kind of munitions have shown their efficacy in the recent Ukraine conflict where they achieved punitive effect with minimal cost.
PAF employs such munitions on its JF-17 and Mirage aircraft.

All of which are goverment institutions with a view of support the Pakistan Armed forces, and not centred around the growth of private companies that can then operate at a global level. The approach Pakistan is adopting is aflawed approach with limited potential for growth or innovation.
 
Most of these are likely to be very close to at least IOC if not outright induction. Since it’s a
lol motley crew of stuff otherwise, and there is no theme to them. Some are just evolutionary improvement over prior systems.
I recall my discussions over the years with @Bilal Khan (Quwa) and @JamD.
Shahpar III Zia essentially finally a true proper Reaper class MALE.
As I have often discussed, the Army and PAF seem to have different contractors. The Navy uses anyone it can find. Except for the REK, all are PA or PN systems.

The PA and PAF seem to be maintaining a division of Labour for air defence, the PA looks after low level (hence the Anza The Next Generation SHORAD), while PAF looks after HI altitude while LOMAD is overlapping.
@PanzerKiel correct?
Any idea who is looking after Missile detection and defence?
