Pakistan's state-owned Global Industrial & Defence Solutions (GIDS) unveiled a range of air-launched weapons at the 16th International Defence Industry Fair (IDEF) held in Istanbul from 25 to 28 July.

Prototypes of the Taimur air-launched cruise missile (ALCM) and FAAZ air-to-air missiles (AAM) were displayed for the first time.

Optimised as a fast jet-launched missile for air-to-surface missions, the Taimur (also known as Taimoor) is designed as a stand-off anti-ship and land attack cruise missile. The modular missile has an aerodynamic box-shaped fuselage equipped with an imaging infrared (IIR) seeker in the front, mid-body foldable wings on the lower surface, and tail control surfaces and a turbojet engine at the rear. The air inlet for the turbojet motor is located under the missile body between the wings and fins. It also carries a fragmentation, armour-piercing warhead.
