Pakistan is likely to receive the AIM-120 Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missiles (AMRAAM) from the US, amidst improvement in ties between the two countries, a media report said on Tuesday.

An arms contract recently notified by the United States Department of War lists Pakistan among the buyers for AIM-120 AMRAAM, The Express Tribune reported.

According to the DoW, Raytheon, the manufacturer of AMRAAM, was given a modification of over $41.6 million on a “previously awarded contract (FA8675-23-C-0037)” based on “firm-fixed-price (P00026)” for the production of the missile’s C8 and D3 variants.

The modification, which includes Pakistan among its foreign military sales recipients, raises the total value of the contract to over $2.51 billion.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
