AMRAAM - Pakistani or Taiwanese?

The Express Tribune of Pakistan:

The wreckage displayed by the Indian generals identified the missile as an AIM-120C-5 AMRAAM. Markings on the wreckage also identified the contract serial number of the missile as FA8675-05-C-0070.

They then note that “Report to Congress on Department Of Defense Sales of Significant Military Equipment to Foreign Entities Fiscal Year 2009” lists AMRAAM sales to Taiwan under this contract number.

The problem is that they should have looked at  “DoD FY 2006 & 2007 Sales of Significant Military Equipment to Foreign Entities" available on this US Department of Defense site.

Raytheon seems to have had a multi-year contract FA8675-05-C-0070 for supply of arms to both Taiwan and Pakistan.
