Because different projects demand different types of material for construction. Developing expertise in one area does not mean that expertise can be developed in other areas too. Each branch demands its own set of materials, ranging from composites to alloys of varying properties and manufacturing process, thus demanding consistent and comprehensive research in every department separately.Here is a question for all you geniuses who are whinging about "metallurgy" -- a country needs highest expertise in "metallurgy" to become a Nuclear Power. So how come Pakistan is a Nuclear Power but according to you does not have expertise in metallurgy??
For example the alloy materials used in construction of our domestically produced centrifuges (P1 & P2) are very different from the materials which are used in blades of turbo fan or turboshaft engines. If we do not have requisite R&D in those materials, investment is not there and the relevant apparatus & know-how is absent, then those engines cannot be made.
We often over-estimate ourselves by saying that "Pakistan main talent ki kami nhi he". Yeah, correct. But talent alone is not everything. For harvesting that talent, requirement, investment, research, experience, infrastructure and policy framework is crucial, and sadly we are not good in either of it.
