BMI Research: Pakistan Defence & Security Report: Market Overview.

The article reports on the state of Pakistan's defense industry as of the fourth quarter of 2010. The country's military-industrial complex lags behind India's despite concerted efforts to gain self-sufficiency in its defence production. China is helping Pakistan expand its defence facilities, but the effort has met budget constraints. A less restrictive approach was adopted by the U.S. to its arms trade with Pakistan due to the Afghan war. An overview of industry trends and developments is presented.
