The Anza is Pakistan’s indigenous man-portable air defence system (MANPADS) family, produced by KRL and marketed by GIDS. Combat-proven during the 1999 Kargil conflict, the Anza series (Mk-I, Mk-II, Mk-III) provides the Pakistan Army’s VSHORAD tier with infrared-homing, shoulder-fired air defence across infantry, mechanised, and armoured formations.
