Pakistan Enhances Air Defence with Chinese and Turkish Systems After Indian Strikes
Pakistan is enhancing its air defence capabilities around key military sites by integrating Chinese and Turkish systems. The Pakistan Air Force has showcased the Chinese HQ-17AE short-range surface-to-air missile system and Turkish Aselsan Korkut 35mm and Sahin 40mm gun systems, designed to counter drones, helicopters, cruise missiles, and low-flying aircraft. These layered systems aim to provide multi-range protection following Indian strikes on Pakistani air-defence infrastructure during Operation Sindoor. Procurement details remain undisclosed, but the upgrades reflect a strategic response to evolving aerial threats.
