Days after launching a scathing attack on country’s state institutions, former prime minister Nawaz Sharif in a bid to soothe ties with the Pakistan Army claimed that his government back-engineered the US Tomahawk missile to enhance the defence capabilities of the country.

“I have made immense contributions for army and spent billion and trillions.... We made [the] country a nuclear power and developed JF-17 [fighter jet] with the collaboration of China,” the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supreme leader said while speaking to reporters in London.

Nawaz went on to claim that half of the missiles that country’s armed forces have were developed during his tenure.
