Pakistan has conducted successful flight test of first indigenously developed Fa’az air- to-air missile, marking another significant milestone in the advancement of national aerospace and defense capabilities. Equipped with state of the art terminal guidance system, it can engage enemy aerial targets at longer ranges. Fa’az will significantly enhance operational flexibility of Pakistan Air Force, further strengthening the country’s overall defense posture. The successful flight test underscores the technical maturity, innovation and self reliance achieved by Pakistan’s defense industry.The launch was witnessed by senior officers of the Pakistan Armed Forces, along with distinguished scientists and engineers who played a pivotal role in the development of this advanced weapon system.The president, Prime Minister of Pakistan, COAS & CDF and Services Chiefs have congratulated the scientists and engineers on this remarkable achievement.

The main difference is how they find their targets. Faaz-RF uses radar to locate and track its target, while Faaz-IIR uses heat-sensing technology to identify its target. In simple terms, both missiles are designed to track targets, but they use different methods to do so.

Good...
The motor started quickly at t=0. There should be a cold start.

similar range of amraam and sd 10.

Dilli won't be that far this time....

Congratulations...

It implies an "unlimited" supply of BVR missiles that can be equipped with 24/7 hovering UAVs too....

Essentially the extended ranged IIR version of SD10A. It features local tech including two way datalink, IIR seeker, rocket motor, HOJ, 40G maneuvering makes it a versatile asset and can even engage targets at WVR ranges. GIDS claimed 100km engagement range.

@AeronautIR sir any input for faaz?

How will it home on jam when it is a heat seeker??
Also the light grey nosed Blk 1s, are they MLUed ones??

An IIR based BVR missile - is the ultimate silent killer ..

Mashallah!!! PAF has come so far!

From zero BVR missiles when the online forums started (still remember the PakDef days and hoping PAF had Sparrow and Darter missiles) to today - our very own FAAZ being tested on our very own JF17! Wow!
