KARACHI – Pakistan’s largest city and financial hub Karachi is hosting International Defence Exhibition and Seminar (IDEAS) 2024 today as the four-day event showcases growing defense capabilities and foster international collaborations.
IDEAS exhibition aims to put Pakistan in the global spotlight, demonstrating both advanced and conventional defence technologies, with a particular focus on the country’s increasing technological prowess in the defense sector. This year’s event is poised to be a key milestone, as it highlights innovations in a wide range of military equipment and systems.
The defense expo features cutting-edge drones, a wide range of defense products, including sophisticated weaponry, tanks, fighter jets, helicopters, naval ships, submarines, and next-generation drone systems.
The event will also showcase the latest missile technology, cyber defense, satellite systems, and electronic warfare—key areas in which the country has made significant strides in recent years.
