The United States Embassy has clarified that no new Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missiles (AMRAAMs) will be delivered to Pakistan, putting an end to recent media speculation.
The clarification came after several reports claimed that the US was considering sending these missiles to Pakistan amid improving diplomatic ties between the two nations.
A statement from the US Embassy and Consulates in India said:
“On September 30, 2025, the Department of War released a list of standard contract announcements referring to an amendment to an existing Foreign Military Sales contract for sustainment and spares for several countries, including Pakistan.”
The embassy emphasized that the contract does not involve any new missile deliveries.
“No part of this referenced contract modification is for deliveries of new AMRAAMs to Pakistan. The sustainment does not include an upgrade to any of Pakistan’s current capabilities,” the statement added.
This clarification follows reports linking the contract announcement to a possible arms upgrade for Pakistan’s air force. However, the US has made it clear that the agreement only covers maintenance and spare parts, not new weapon systems.
Earlier, US President Donald Trump was seen in a meeting with Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, which further fueled speculation about a potential arms deal.
The embassy’s statement aims to reaffirm Washington’s commitment to transparency and dispel any misunderstanding surrounding the recent defense contract.
