Avinash Chander: Our aim via the 'missile autonomy mission' is to cover a wider space as it were. Let me outline some of the new systems being progressed. A new man portable anti-tank guided missile (ATGM) for which design is over and hardware is getting developed. A Longer ranged SAM with a range of 200-250 km is on the drawing board. A quick reaction SAM which can track on move is well-advanced in the design stage. An anti-radiation missile and a long range anti-ship missile which can prevent aircraft carriers from coming within 1500-2000 km of our shores are also being pursued.

As usual, India weapons are on the drawing board. It will be there for a while. And of course, many Indians will compare the drawing board weapons with its neighbors in service weapons. And boast and brag.

In the end, there will be cost overrun, delays and India army/AF will reject it as obsolete on delivery or not suitable for usage. Like LCA and Arjun.

MANPAD is a version of SAM....Surface to Air Missile.

There is difference between MANPADS and SAM, one is very small other is big.

They ways they are deployed and used also differ.

So bottom line is Pak has not even short rang Proper SAM developed on its own.

BTW has Pakistan developed any MANPAD?

They are, but only in small quantities. And if there weapons are of foreign origin at its market price. Indian military would not buy them. They are used by Indian military only because they are big pet projects. Most of Indian major Indian weapons will still be imported.
