Ya Bilal,don't get baited by a certain Turk here,Armenia is cool. Problem is their idiotic government currently.India might suck when it comes to indigenous weapons,but Turkish equipment isn't the Star Wars stuff he presents it like.
Well I realize some patriotic folks may color their achievements a bit, but is there an Indian Bayraktar in action anywhere? Or is it so stealthy we can't see it. We have all seen Bayraktar in action in Ukraine. Or is that fiction too?
Product sucks..
Pakistani products are old expensive and more importantly copied ..which mean selling isn't really an option unless u want get into trouble
JF-17 was sold to Myanmar and Nigeria, ditto with Musshak.
I don't see an issue with copying if you can improve on it, which is sometimes done in Asian countries. And that is not really done in Pakistan.
Most Pakistani defence products are licensed. Musshak certainly was (from SAAB).
IMHO - why Pakistani defence products aren't more successful is that overseas marketing is lacking, plus govt. lacks efforts in participating in enough country specific industry fairs. If you only go to Farnborough then there are tons of other options for buyers there.
Why were HAL Sanghis so successful in selling their Dhruv Heli copied from MBB to South Americans? Simple bluster and cheatery, which of course back-fired. After a few technical failure crashes, no one will touch your aerospace products with a ten foot pole.
I predict this Pinaka product will meet the same fate, their technology is sub-par, you can cover it up in Bharat, but other countries you take money from will not be so kind.
Pakistan must avoid this sort of fiasco. And back up each sale with robust spares support.
You can make a great product, but spares support is where most countries fail. The Russian airliner Sukhoi SSJ-100 is a great example.
I just don't want you to fall for the "bad Armenia,good Azeris" propaganda of certain people.
