Pakistan introduces Haadif Small Arms Simulator at the IDEAS 2024 in Karachi

KARACHI: Pakistan has unveiled a cutting-edge indigenous training tool, the Haadif Small Arms Simulator, at the International Defence Exhibition and Seminar (IDEAS) 2024 in Karachi. This advanced multi-weapon simulator is designed to enhance the training and combat readiness of soldiers by improving their shooting accuracy and tactical skills.

The Haadif simulator enables soldiers to train with a variety of weapons, including G3 rifles, light machine guns, submachine guns, and pistols. It supports practice against both stationary and moving targets, simulating diverse combat scenarios across challenging terrains such as mountains and deserts.

Highlighting its capabilities, Colonel Tahir of the Pakistan Army stated, “This simulator equips our soldiers to handle multiple types of light and heavy weaponry simultaneously, ensuring they are prepared for real-world operational challenges in demanding environments.”

The launch was part of IDEAS 2024, which began on November 19 and will run until November 22. Organized by the Ministry of Defence and the Defence Export Promotion Organization, the event showcases Pakistan’s advancements in defense technology and self-reliance in military production.

This year’s exhibition has seen participation from 17 new countries, including Iran, Italy, and the United Kingdom, alongside 224 local and 333 international companies. Among the key highlights are the unveiling of the Pakistan-made Haider tank, the Shahpar-3 drone, and a dedicated hall for start-ups presenting innovative defense solutions.

In addition to the technology displays, a seminar on Pakistan’s defense production potential will explore growth opportunities in the sector. Karachi residents will also have the chance to attend a professional showcase hosted by the armed forces on November 21.
