Pakistan tests its first indigenous air-to-air missile, FAAZ. The Pakistan Air Force has announced the successful flight test of its first indigenously developed FAAZ air-to-air guided missile. It has been reported that the FAAZ family will include three versions: a ground-based anti-aircraft missile, a modification with an active missile warhead and a version with an infrared warhead. In its shape and concept, the missile is remarkably reminiscent of the Chinese PL-12, which indicates close military-technical cooperation between Beijing and Islamabad.
