The Pakistan Air Force (PAF) has officially unveiled the potential induction of the HISAR surface-to-air missile (SAM) system during the recent Indus Shield exercise. This advanced air defense system, developed to intercept a range of aerial threats, represents a significant enhancement to Pakistan’s air defense capabilities.
The HISAR system, known for its versatility in intercepting drones, aircraft, and missiles at various altitudes, aligns with PAF’s strategy to strengthen its layered defense network. The possible integration of HISAR would enhance Pakistan's ability to safeguard its airspace and respond effectively to modern aerial threats, marking a noteworthy step in the evolution of its defense infrastructure.
