The United States has added Pakistan to the list of buyers of Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missiles (AMRAAM) under a $41.6 million contract modification with Raytheon, raising the deal’s total value to $2.51 billion. According to the US Department of War, the updated agreement includes advanced C8 and D3 AMRAAM variants for several countries, including Pakistan, which was not part of the earlier deal announced in May. The project, set to be completed by May 2030, also involves partners like the UK, Germany, Australia, Japan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey. This marks a significant step in strengthening US-Pakistan defence cooperation amid improving bilateral ties.
