My Friends you are just seeing one side of the coin, But thats upto everyone to decide for themselves but kindly dont sell us the idea that one is rich the other is poor, because we are not getting anything for free first. And if you see the past ten years you have milked us almost as much as others. F16s upgrade, Augusta, TAI 129, MILGEM, You name it. If your Imagination tells you India will buy all of your stuff, then why not you guys go for a try at the expense of us ?
If we go by your logic of selling to rich nations , How many rich nations buy your weapons and how many need to do so ? What technologies turkey offer that others dont ? Do you sell to Germany , France , USA , China , Russia , Saudi Arabia
? How many other countries offer a bigger lucrative markets for your high end products than us ? You have the choice to sell to India we also have the choice to buy better products from other sources. It is all about you scratch my back i scratch yours and the problem is the back of both countries need scratching its not only ours.
Just wanna ask you a simple question, why all world, Russia, US, Israel, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Jordan supports India over you? Is it because indians are nice people? Is it because their country is great? No. Because they have 450 billion dollars forex reserves. Every fucking one of them, Saudis, Israelis loves them because of this. Now I know calling them rich might sound like an insult for you but I am not trying to make you feel bad. But for the sake of the math, all Pakistani Economy isn't 450 billion dollars let alone the forex reserves. Don't see it as an insult. Even if you crush them in battlefield, they have more money. Infact they have more cash than all of your economy.
Now, to answer your questions, State banned to sell any lethal weapons to india. They wanted to buy support ships, UCAV's. And let's be honest there, they would throw some billions just for the support. Or why you think they buy from every country? Iranian oil, israeli, american, russian and french weapons,... I would say it works, pay some money and everyone will shut up.
Now, For your other question, we mostly sell our weapons to US, Germany, Oman and Qatar after that it is Holland, India and Azerbaijan. You can look at to list. So yes we do sell weapons to Germany and US.
PS, Right now, you are number 22. So there is actually 21 countries who buys more from us. Hope I answered your question.

Now let me repeat myself, you can buy, you can sell I don't care. But we didn't sell you for money unlike Saudis and others which let's be honest it would be logical to do so. Thats why before talking about ''Turkey would sell us if they had a chance'' look at to world you live in. Look at to mirror, and you will see perhaps our way of thinking is not the same.
You can blame me, I don't care about that neither. This was hardcore truths for you. Even if you didn't like it.
