Investment Rating - The industry investment rating is "Positive" [4] Core Viewpoints - The India-Pakistan conflict has highlighted the performance of domestic weapons, aiding the expansion of the global military trade market. Pakistan's military success in this conflict, particularly with Chinese exports like the J-10C fighter jet, has increased the recognition of Chinese military equipment in international markets [1][6]. - Geopolitical tensions are driving the military trade market expansion.
