China's oversight is very loose when it comes to where their weapons ends up. For example with the UAE purchasing weapons for their proxy group in Sudan and causing humanitarian incidents left and right, you'd expect them to halt arms shipments by now. But as recently as last week there has been military cargo flights from Urumqi to Abu Dhabi.

The truth is, there are two criterias to have access to the chinese weapons market

1. Be a relatively friendly country to China
2. Have the cash

Where the weapons end up later is none of their concern
In reality, there are not many countries that maintain political friendship with China, and these countries largely overlap with Russia, so the buyers of Chinese weapons are very limited.
The final destination of low-end weapons is never something the seller can decide, and it's not something China can decide either. As for the humanitarian crisis caused by these weapons, that's utter nonsense. I can only say that China plays at most a supporting role here; the real protagonist is the United States, which accounts for half of the international arms trade market. Of course, you can argue that the damage caused by American weapons doesn't count as a humanitarian crisis.

Hi,
beside the escort Hangoor might want to play hide & seek practice match specially with 054/p, so that way they can move around in Indian ocean & check the weapon and training of Hangour within PN weapons and sensors
im sure Hangour is loaded already With weapons? What’s your idea about weapons hot with it or not
thank you

Not sure if Hangor will actually conduct any ASW “hide & seek” drills during the transit, especially since the main crew training and work-up were most likely already completed in China. With Indian assets expected to keep a close watch on the deployment, that could also explain why both 054/P FFGs are accompanying her throughout the passage.

Regarding the weapons configuration, whether the weapons are fully “hot” or maintained in a controlled transit configuration would depend on operational policy & deployment authorization. On the weapons side, it’s often suggested that the platform could eventually be equipped with the sub-launched Babur-3 and possibly the YJ-18 as well, but again, details remain largely speculative at this stage.

Overall, the transit itself could still provide some opportunity for operational familiarization under real sea conditions.

Pakistan’s emerging Rasoob-250 stealth ALCM​


The Rasoob-250 is an advanced, lightweight air-launched cruise missile (ALCM) developed by Pakistan’s state-owned Global Industrial Defence Solutions (GIDS). It is designed as a low-observable, stealth-capable stand-off weapon intended for highly precise strikes against both land-based targets & naval vessels, with an estimated operational range of approximately 350–400 km.

The system first publicly appeared at IDEAS 2024, where it was showcased as part of Pakistan’s expanding precision-strike portfolio. Available indications suggest that the development phase is largely complete, with the system now approaching operational readiness & final integration stages.

Unlike larger cruise missiles, it prioritizes a compact airframe & lighter warhead, enabling greater carriage flexibility and allowing fighter aircraft & unmanned aerial systems to carry higher loadouts.

It is therefore assessed that the missile could soon be inducted into joint active service, pending final deployment & operational approval decisions.

No, that is the same claim since about June 2025:

“I have to say that we (PAF) are at eight-zero, and our confirmed kills are four Rafales, one Su-30, one MiG-29, one Mirage 2000 jet and also one expensive multi-role unmanned aerial system,” PAF’s Air Vice Marshal Tariq Ghazi said.
