Pakistan Increases Military Support to Saudi Arabia Under Defence Pact Amid Regional Threats
Pakistan has increased military support to Saudi Arabia by sending additional troops and consignments of air defence systems, missiles, rockets, and domestically developed drones. This assistance is part of the Strategic Mutual Defence Agreement (SMDA) signed in September 2025, aimed at strengthening Saudi Arabia's defense amid regional threats, including those from Yemen's Houthi movement. Pakistani military cargo flights are reportedly transporting equipment, with troop deployments occurring in small numbers. Details on the scale and financial terms remain undisclosed.
