I find it interesting that these different entities are forming commercial fronts (e.g., Stingray Technologies, Harobanx, Qaswa, etc) all of a sudden. I wonder if all this is being done to start leveraging offsets, maybe by setting up units that foreign OEMs can engage without working through hurdles.

Taimur Air-Launched Cruise Missile (ALCM)
May 10, 2024
The Taimur Air-Launched Cruise Missile (ALCM), developed by Pakistan’s state-owned Global Industrial & Defence Solutions (GIDS) is a low observable, subsonic anti-surface weapon system.
First unveiled at the IDEAS 2022, Taimur is a direct competitor to MBDA Storm-Shadow/SCALP and Roketsan SOM (Stand-off Missile) in the export market.
The Taimur Air-Launched Cruise Missile (ALCM) is an anti-ship, export variant of Pakistan’s nuclear-capable RAAD-II ALCM (600 km) optimized for deployment via fixed-wing aircraft for air-to-surface operations. It serves as both an anti-ship and land-attack cruise missile. Designed for stand-off engagements, it allows the launch platform to effectively engage distant targets up to 290 km.
Taimur is Equipped with an imaging infrared (IIR) seeker for high-accuracy terminal guidance. It is also capable of terrain-hugging and sea-skimming capabilities, enabling it to fly at low altitudes while hugging the terrain or skimming over the sea surface. Operating at low altitudes, it maintains stealth and stability at subsonic speeds throughout its cruise.
Based on a modular design, it is the third variation of the RAAD series of missiles, which is a testament to its upgradability, ensuring its relevance and effectiveness in rapidly evolving warfare.

Considering the slide is fairly poorly organized and the title text is overlapping on the body - hopefully his oratory and command of the subject made up for it.
Considering the prospects - probably not too important…as those deals are decided in other ways
