Al Tariq and Sejeel guided bombs.
Barij Dynamics, a partnership with Denel Dynamics, has completed development of the Orca/Sejeel guided bomb kit and received a contract for 4 000 of the weapons for the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Air Force.

Denel, in its 2018/19 annual report, stated that the final flight test on the Orca (Sejeel) weapon system was completed by the end of May 2018. “The performance of the weapons led to a contract placed by the UAE Air Force on our partner in the UAE (Barij Dynamics) for 4 000 weapons. During the development phases of the contract, the weapon system was industrialised and made ready for production.”

Barij Dynamics was formerly known as Tawazun Dynamics and is a 51:49% partnership between Barij/Emirates Defence Industry Company and Denel. Its first product was the Al Tariq (Umbani) guided bomb kit, ordered by the UAE in 2011.

Development of the Sejeel (P3) guided bomb kit began under a 2015 contract from the UAE, with development work done in South Africa and production in the United Arab Emirates. The bomb kit adds GNSS/INS and/or semi-active laser guidance to Mk 81 and Mk 82 bombs. It can be programmed with different attack profiles, and has off-axis and moving target attack capability. Range is more than 25 km, with a circular error probability (CEP) of less than 3 metres for the GNSS/INS/SAL version and less than 10 metres for the GNSS/INS version.

Barij Dynamics is focussed on precision guided munition development and production, and sees this as its core business. It recently expanded its range with a guidance kit for the 2 000 lb Mk 84 series bomb. This was launched in February at IDEX 2019 in Abu Dhabi. This strap-on kit features GNSS/INS and SAL guidance systems.

All beauties ready and waiting to be transformed into CHeetah!.
Even Bangladesh (which dont faces any major threat) looking for 4+ generation fighter , But PAF still busy in spending resources and energy in 3rd generation Mirages
 
Pay your taxes and they will buy 4+ gen jets too
we are paying taxes , probably one of the highest indirect taxes paid by common Pakistanis, but Politicians Bureaucrats and Generals all using these taxis for their personal benefits and luxurious life

Mirages are here to stay. The decision makers understand all cost and benefit issues. Arguments here don't affect or change strategic decisions of a nation.
because 50 year old Mirage can carry Raad Cruise Missile, thats why we still spending on Mirages, as JF-17 cant fire Raad
 
probably one of the highest indirect taxes
That situation arises when the overwhelming majority of the people are not too cooperative in paying their income taxes. Whatever figure of percentage that constitutes is actually bolstered by the salaried class, who have no choice but to have their income: taxed at the source by their employers.

Around 1% of the self employed and the business owners pay their income taxes.
