Oh - nothing happens!
That tells me exactly how valuable your input is.
let me teach you what happens when you get extraordinary events:

Above is an accredited paper that explains what extraordinary events do to projects.
Below is a link to what happened to Pakistan as it seems you have zero idea

The government of Pakistan works on a yearly budget system of which all funds are allocated. You can see below as an example of how these are allocated and these are for THAT year

Now,in 2005 the PAF was planning on 36 F-16C block 52s and 36-48 J-10A(FC-20s) and 150 JF-17s by 2015.
The following extraordinary events caused even the contingency plans to be exceeded(unless you claim by some miracle they could be mitigated)
2005 Earthquake (Do you know the actual cost to the economy?) -Yes, the first world powerhouse with high intellect known as Pakistani government under a non existent NDMA would have planned for it.
2008 - financial crash and standoff
Are you aware of how it affected Pakistan’s artificially propped up economy? How it led to a reduction in budget
2008-2012( PPP government)
Do you know what they did to Pakistan’s economy and institutional situation? They sucked it into a skeleton to the extent that in 2011 PAF did not have money to pay even the interest on the loans provided for JF-17 partial development by the Chinese.
2020- Did you dance and party during Covid or were asleep? Because the entire world reeled with losses to economy, supply chains and even personnel but apparently you think there are “contingency plans”. Wonder what school of project management that is?
The F-35 project which is much better funded than the JF-17 and run by a much much more experienced aircraft manufacturer had to revise it targets

But no, we have contingency plans and anything contrary to your wisdom is “apologizing”. What did you do? Send any funds to Pakistan? Know how to program embedded c++ inverse fourier transforms ?
Now, since you do seem to be shooting off tangents and are ignorant to what are known as current events along with just how much informed criticism is expressed here by those that know not just how the PAF but the entire R&D culture of Pakistan operates but are adamant on scoring some form of self satisfying legitimacy while stating “Ive sent my point across and leave it here”.
You have no point other than just wanting to criticize for the sake of criticism rather than an informed contribution just so that you can get away without having to admit “I don’t know”.
