The system is designed to provide protection for armoured units and critically important facilities against aerial attacks, including those involving high-precision weapons. “The system can engage fixed-wing aircraft, combat rotary-wing platforms, air-to-surface munitions, and cruise missiles,” a company source told Jane’s .

The FM-2000, which features counter-jamming capabilities, can engage several targets simultaneously, said the official without providing further details about the system’s performance. The surface-to-air missile (SAM) used by the system has also been designated the FM-2000.

According to CASIC, the FM-2000 has a maximum range of 15 km and can engage an aerial target at altitudes between 10 m and 10 km.

US reiterates commitment to Pakistan funding freeze

Jon Grevatt, Bangkok - IHS Jane's Defence Industry

22 November 2018

The US government is continuing to freeze security assistance funds for Pakistan as part of its effort to spur Islamabad into committing greater engagement in counter-insurgency (COIN) operations.

Media reports on 21 November said the US government has suspended USD1.66 billion in security assistance for the South Asian country. Jane’s understands that this funding freeze is not new but part of aid that was suspended by Washington in January.

Most of the suspended funds will affect Pakistan aid through the US Foreign Military Financing (FMF) programme, which enables recipients to procure US defence equipment, services, and training.

Commenting on the aid suspension, a Department of State spokesperson told Jane’s on 22 November that the US focus is on encouraging Pakistan to play a more meaningful role in COIN missions in the region.
