This year has probably been the best. Otherwise for the previous 20 years it was the same old G3, MP5, mg3, baktar shikan and anza… over and over for 20 years.

Nothing new, it's an upper receiver you can swap out, it's closed bolt system unlike
249 SAW. If you ran out of drum magazine you can use regular 5.56 magazine using the same magwell.
One advantage of being semi automatic is it's doesn't have a heavier barrel like SAW so you can fire string of rounds using a good trigger without heating up barrel too much.
Only gripe is it's 6000$ a pop. And I don't see civilians in Pakistan acquiring it

‘Pakistan’s share in global arms export market growing’
Made-in-Pakistan weapons are so effective that they determine the outcome of war.
According to one private-sector arms manufacturer present at the 11th International Defence Exhibition and Seminar (IDEAS) 2022, his company’s 40mm single-shot grenade launchers played a “key role” in helping Sri Lanka win its war against the Tamil Tigers in the late 2000s.
“Their chief of army staff called our CEO to thank him personally,” Daudsons Armoury Ltd General Manager Irfan Ahmed told Dawn on Wednesday.
He said about 30 per cent of the company’s total revenue comes from export channels while the rest originates from the domestic market, which consists of the armed forces, law enforcement agencies and private citizens.
Most exhibitors that Dawn spoke to were reluctant to go into specifics with regard to the size of their operations, pricing and clientele given the secretive nature of the arms business. But many of them happily stated that foreign business has been flourishing for the last many years.
“We export weapons mainly to the Middle Eastern countries. I can say confidently that Pakistani businesses are growing their share in the global arms market.
That’s because our quality is a lot better than that of arms manufacturers from other, comparable nations,” he said.
According to trade data compiled by the International Trade Centre (ITC), Pakistan exported arms and ammunition worth $3.8 million in 2021. In contrast, imports amounted to $30.1m in the same year. These figures appear understated as the original source of the ITC data is the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics.
Daudsons Armoury makes aircraft bombs weighing from 250 pounds to 2,000 pounds for the Pakistan Air Force and also sells the same to foreign governments. The state-owned ordnance producer has a monopoly over the explosive substance that goes inside a bomb. Daudsons Armoury produces the body of a bomb — a highly precise job in which even a minute inaccuracy can change the projectile’s centre of gravity and lead to a missed strike.
Official data shows the top export destination was the United Arab Emirates, which bought Pakistani arms and ammunition worth $1.9m in 2021. It was followed by France ($1.5m) and the United States ($165,000).
Another exhibitor, Cavalier Group, told Dawn that made-in-Pakistan weapons have a huge export potential given the changing nature of international warfare. “We make superior-quality multi-role combat vehicles, body armour, bullet-proof jackets and unnamed armoured vehicles (UAVs),” said Isphandyar Tajammal Awan, a group director.

no Viper, no new AFV, no 155mm howitzer, no PAC MALE UAV, no GaN AESA RADARS, list goes on and on
No live demonstrations of vehicles and Tanks and Jf-17, the presentation of our Tanks and APC is joke, the upgraded TOYOTA HILUX is a nightmare. With a good cooperation of active troops, and intelligent minds the HILUX upgrade could have done be million time better. But yeah this Pakistani style !
Here I have some IDEAS

ACMI Pod Contract between SDT & PAF for F-16s and JF-17s will ensure a high end compatibility between both PAF and TurAF especially in their Anatolian Eagle and ACES Meet Exercises. PAF may also integrate these pods on its other aircraft in future..
