Of course he's not. But I think that's a very ambitious target for Pakistan. Replacement of all 3rd Gen fighters would be completed by the time they achieve 100% minus the engine target. Also, I had a feeling that I saw that 65% figure in an article but I think that it was 58%.
Yap, His team plan is to build a structure, which invent new things,so Pakistan never look to anyother country for next generation aircrafts.when it works ,then it is just like, dream come true. long way to go.
So he should never wasted money on F 16 worth 70 million dollars it's expansive not worthy enough
Chinese have a export ban on J-20 and seems like are not willing to sell J-20 anytime soon. They needs to first make it operational and fill their own ranks. J-31 might be use as a stop-gas but is not what PAF ideally wants. PAF may has asked about F-35 but there is a big question mark on it. Which left PAF with only option to utilise their own resources. Turks are forward looking and may have drop idea to PAF chief that we should jointly start looking toward 5+ technology since US and Russia is already looking into it. Saudis and other GCC countries might chip in with some cash. Turks are getting US second best, the F-35 and Pakistan might end up with some J-31s for a time being, but ultimately both countries and our mid-east friend needs a long time solution and that is developing human resource for produce to own tech.
That's exactly what he is doing, Instead of asking US for the best and then settling for chinese stuff, he is setting a stone to build our own resource so that next 10 to 20 years Pakistanis won't be posting same comment on online forums. This was the job of our civilian bureaucrats and politician to develop industry in country and educated human resource pool, which could have help our defence sector as per demand.
FInally guy with a vision and can realize where the hell world is headed in next 20 to 30 years.
If everyone listened to naysayers and pessimists we would still be in the stone age.
Does making an 5th gen aircraft A to z at home under TOT fall in that category too?
For time being, it's the requirement. For future needs, R&D needs to start now is our requirement. He is doing both, with whatever money he got.
Some people around here know that organization. Well you can just dump my statement.
None of them. Unfortunately, I could not be able to comment on it further. You have to accept it at face value or just consider it chest thumping. The tag of confidential on everything has hurt us a lot in every manner be it economical or technological.
Firstly I don't think there is any speculation in it because I have spent my nights analysing it. You may accept it or reject it I am not responsible for giving you any proof.
