In Pakistan it's funny that in most of documentaries made on JF17 just include major theoretical detail and repetitions like, it is made by us with JV, by the grace of Allah it is a capable jet, it has radar on front, it has capability of A2A and A2G, it can compete with any jet etc. The real issues are not discussed which are quoted many times.
Sir any one having knowledge or interest in military issues can easily judge the real picture however one may assume that still there is much gap between military and civilians in Pakistan result is our nation is still under prepared for war, meanwhile due to comprehensive programs like NCC in in India our adversaries are preparing in much planned way.
Though sensitive info should be kept secret but it's better to show off something for confidence of nation. When I was studying in PU in1999-2000 the Uni was open for all, people could clearly observe students and teachers there along with lush green lawns, whole atmosphere was so charming. Now you can observe a walled Uni where perhaps you should have to be screen out thoroughly before visiting any deptt. Recently I went to examination center of PU for a professional exam there were at least 5-6 armed Uni guards along with three to four Policemen there, even not allowing to use wash rooms before time situated outside the examination hall. Same is case with QAU and other Unis. How the hell we shall bring our nation forward.
