The Taimoor (Urdu: تیمور, also known as Taimur) is a low-observable high-precision air-launched cruise missile (ALCM) developed by the Pakistan Air Force's Air Weapons Complex. It was unveiled to the international market during the IDEAS-2022 defense exhibition in November 2022, and is a direct contender to MBDA's Storm Shadow and Roketsan's SOM. On 3 January 2026, the first successful test flight of the Taimoor was carried out by the Pakistan Air Force (PAF), in which the missile was launched from a PAF Dassault Mirage III and struck a land target.
The Taimoor is capable of striking both stationary and moving targets at a standoff distance of 600 kilometers. Although it is manufactured by AWC, Global Industrial Defence Solutions (GIDS) oversees marketing of the missile for export.
