Is that a joke or what?
Can PAC design and develop indigenous trainers,fighters,utility and attack helicopters?I dont mean a JV,What is pakistani contribution to JF 17 other than Software work?
India have been manufacturing jet fighters since 1950s (read HF 24 Marut),Hindustan Aeronautics limited is the largest aerospace company in South Asia,it has annual turnover of $2 billion.It is also capable of developing aircraft own is own,it could develop a jet engine back in the 1960s,many of its indigenous products have served the armed forces for long-Marut,Kiran ,Deepak,Dhruv
Indian aircraft industry is more self reliant than Pakistan,when we consider both licensed and indigenous designed aircraft.when when we say Licensed production,it means complete production and even engines sometimes,It have been manufacturing aircraft Harlow PC-5 to Gnats to Mig 21s to Su 30 MKIs.For the Su 30MKI,even engines are manufactured in India,India developed many subsystems like Mission Computer cum Display Processor ,Radar Computer,Tarang Mk2 Radar Warning Receiver (RWR),High Accuracy Direction Finding Module (HADF),Identification Friend or Foe system,Integrated Communication suite ,Radar Altimeter,Programmable Signal Processor,Multi Function Displays, Core Avionics Computer (CAC) etc.
Now can pakistan make such contributions to a JV?try to use wikipedia atleast before making such claims,here-
