Decades of effort: Pakistan conducts first test of indigenously developed Fa'az missile

Pakistan has successfully test-fired its home-built Fa'az air-to-air missile, a major step for its aerospace and defense capabilities. Retired PAF Wing Commander Asad Ali said the missile belongs to the same "family" as global AAMs but was designed around Pakistan's specific geostrategic needs. He stressed that making a missile airworthy takes decades of work on metallurgy, aerodynamics, and materials.

The May 2025 air-to-air conflict showed the PAF's technological edge over regional adversaries, where quality of platforms and crew training matters more than quantity, Ali noted. He added that integrated use of air and ground radars — purely indigenous systems — gives the PAF its advantage, and Fa'az will widen this gap further.
