Foreign and local buyers participated on the second day of 9th International Defence Exhibition and Seminar (IDEAS) along with citizens who came to visit the seminar.
It was a historic moment when Pakistan signed agreements with Turkey and Ukraine, under which Pakistan will sell the Super Mushshak Trainer aircraft to Turkey and will import upgraded engines for the Al-Khalid tank from Ukraine.
The exhibition opened at the Karachi Expo Centre on Tuesday.

Awesome pictures. Keep up the good work. We should continue with our indigenous production programs and co-production with foreign arms producers as we still have much to learn and integrate for the betterment of our armed forces.

@sufyan, its basically the mismanagement of economy, education, and all politically controlled portfolios. That is not army's fault.

With defence we can generate income, defend ourselves and provide jobs
we must look at our geographical location. that's why defence is important
being poor in other issues doesn't mean we should be bad in defence there's no link
politicians job to fix education and health not the armies
