Spokesperson for the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) on Monday said that Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) had achieved its annual production goal.

In a statement, the spokesperson said that the authorities have decided to increase aeronautical complex’s production capabilities.

The complex has handed over 16th JF-17 Thunder aircraft to the air force in the ongoing year.

Earlier in September, Kamra complex had made the Airborne Warning And Control System (AWACS) aircraft operational at half the cost as compared to foreign companies. As a result, $15 million were saved, after indigenous repair of the aircraft. Feasibility study of Gwadar deep waters shipyard was also completed.

The aircraft had been damaged in an attack by terrorists on Kamra aeronautical complex.
