Is today April 1st?
Thank you for laughs anyway.
BC... what is the name of this UAV..... Hawai Mullah
Nope, Saudis are the ones funding the project. However, an islamic mind doesnt think properly and that is where the problem comes. The islamic world is like a technological blackholeto finance the program, you will have to sell all of sindh and balochistan
you think saudis will not get something in return?Nope, Saudis are the ones funding the project. However, an islamic mind doesnt think properly and that is where the problem comes. The islamic world is like a technological blackhole
Saudis are the head of Islamic military alliance. They will command Pakistani Army in the name of Allah and declare World war 3 to invade Europe and Asia. They are already installing governments in Canada, congress in India, Macron in France, funded Hillary Clinton but failed etc.you think saudis will not get something in return?
Kay, there are ways to do that. Spares stocks, contracts allowing local partners to take over progressively. All of that can be done. You are not wrong. But I bet if no imports were available, the OFB rifle would have been accepted.
As I said, if there is brains, then arabs have 2-3 trillion dollar sovereign wealth fund which they can use to develop weapon production facility by combining the talented minds of all islamic countries together. They can hire 2 lakh scientists at a go and then assign tasks in a distributed manner. It may take 15 years to 20 years, especially if they manage to reverse engineer their US made items purchased by them. What 20000 scientists and engineers of India takes 40 years to make, these people can make them in 15-20 years.If all it takes is money then why aren't Saudis making it themselves.
Making 5th gen jet isn't a child's play. Even 4th gen is too much for most countries.
There are thousands of components inside a plane. Engineering them from scratch without required IPs or blueprints would be a nightmare even for most senior scientific team.
And engineering is only the beginning. A thorough understanding and capability of metallurgy, electronics, hydraulics, composite materials etc. is needed to make these components.
Even if they pass that stage then there is requirement for many scientific testing facilities to test each of their designs including at sub system level. These different facilities alone will take decades to build.
Lets assume they get pass all this problems then still without a strong manufacturing base it would be impossible to build one squad. In Tejas we had same issue. Some sub components of LCA were so much complicated that no one in our industry could make them in required numbers so scientists had to re engineer those parts to make them more simpler. Our industrial base is way too bigger and mature than Pakis.
This is why I said in my previous comment that this is nothing short of a joke from our western neighbor. Everyone associated with aviation industry must be laughing hard.
So don't take it seriously it is nothing but :bs:
It is most likely that they will buy some junk from China and will call it indigenous or JV or something along those lines.
PAF and IAF had Sabre and Hunters respectively before PAF inducted F 104 in their 9 Air Superiority squadron.If I am not wrong Pakistan was the first country in Asia to induct a Jet fighter, it goes something like Star Fighter 104 [ I may be wrong with the name].
From where will beggars get money to funnel....Its just a name given to funneling money to Turkish or Chinese 5th gen fighter programs.
Ummah ka Chummah!? ... seriously they will make common Pakis eat more grass, but will find money(after army and politicians get their cut for sure)From where will beggars get money to funnel... .
