Late last year, The Pakistan Air Force (PAF) trained with 14 participating nations as part of the Indus Shield 2023 aerial exercises. The participating nations included Pakistan, Turkiye, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE, Egypt, Oman, Bahrain, Azerbaijan, Indonesia, Morocco, Uzbekistan, China and Hungary :
Later in the briefings, Pakistan Air Force Official PR on the exercise revealed an interesting tactical aspect of the exercise, showing PAF JF-17s targetting an enemy High Tech SAM battery using the supersonic CM-400 missiles.

Notice the Phalcon AWACS in the graphics. It's also interesting to note that the CM-400 which is generally regarded as a "Carrier" killer is deployed in SEAD role.

That is not the SEAD only aspect in the picture - and a LOT can be seen about how the exercises were played out in that single image.

KSA F-15s were used to provide low to mid DCA , F-16s doing DCA, J-10 high altitude DCA and HAVCAP.
JF-17s performing SEAD - Havasoj(not yet inducted so some other asset) standoff EW and yet another asset not in the picture doing ESM and ELINT from behind a GBAD cover.

Yes, noticed the silhouettes but couldn't make out the mission designation for all.
Note the "Blinders" asset also deployed.
