PAC You Are Missing Out

[crankthatskunk]

you almost nailed it
almost because you missed out their main trait.
it is discouraging innovation and suppressing new ideas.
pulling ranks when challenged.

The questions should be asked , why they exists!!
If everything they do is negative and against the interests of Pakistan!!

That has deeper roots,
starts with parenting,
which is dependent on religious belief.
Just follow, don't think, don't question.

Ghazali over Ibn Rushd. <<< --- that is how old it is.

Wow a very deep point. Vague everything goes sufi beliefs in Pakistani do effect this in a way I believe. I think there should be balance. Most people would associate me with wahabbis but there is a lot in their creed I don't agree with.

PAC suffers from commitment bias by MoD. Several times promised budgets have not been delivered and several times PAC has been advised to cap certain projects even before starting. Under such circumstances you want PAC to persuade MoD for a commercial project? Not gonna work.

Like @Bilal Khan (Quwa) said we could just invest in their shares. Maybe worth 2-4 business jets worth(money we would have just given away to gora) or even without investing we could become a link in their supply chain manufacturing components for them. Brazilians will get cheap labor that way. And we will get some good quality jobs for our people and solid FDI.

Just like how we have Airbus/Boeing and Saab overhaul capabilities(although I don't know if we are using that to make any money).

These financial constraints can be solved with creativity, they can't keep complaining about finances and not innovate to create those finances oppurtunities.

We need new JVs in drones, helicopters and big jets. Then PAC won't have to complain about finances anymore.

Some guy's always in some Western think-tank talking about what the US/UK can do to make Pakistan cooperate on counter-terrorism.

Some gal's always in some Western think-tank talking about what the US/UK can do to change the societal fabric of Pakistan to make it more amenable to the West.

Some idiot's always in some Western think-tank talking up drug use and prostitution, etc in Pakistan (yes it's there, but it's something we should resolve ourselves, not air or promote it).

These types of folks get degrees in social/political sciences. Then struggle to find work, later realize that maligning their own roots is easy money. Some are asylum seekers, some fake hoax like Malala.

Think about it Malala peace prize. While Arfa Karim dies anonymously.
Hell they eveng gave Aung San Suu Kyi and Henry Kissinger a nobel peace prize. People who genocided millions of people.

Lack of Leadership,... not at PAC level but at national level... if we had Musharraf ruling Pakistan, all these organizations would have grown multiple times.... reason Musharraf knew, that the main ingredient is skilled manpower.
On the contrary, current accidental rulers are destroying state instructions slowly but surely.

Problem start with unfair hiring, transfers, promotions, retirements and extensions but the rulers says it's their constitutional prerogative. On occasions, when they find their authority limited by constitution, they change constitution to grab the ultimate power.

Imagine we are ruled by clergy, who need 200 billion and 10 years, just to partially complete a jangla bus.
Golden days are long gone and Pakistan is stuck with morons at all levels.

To your point. It always fascinates me why at all of our state defence industries only those officers are posted who will only be remembered by the peripheries of military history. Why no exceptional officers like Raheel Sharif or Asif Ghafoor are posted?

It seems the military posts inept DHA brigadiers who are only their to complete their afsari and go home.

Embraer considers new partnerships for KC-390 after Boeing walks away

By Garrett Reim 2 June 2020



Embraer is exploring new partnerships for the KC-390 military transport after Boeing terminated its joint-venture agreement with the Brazilian company in April.

The airframer remains positive about the international prospects for the aircraft, despite losing the sales network of the aerospace giant and a potential entry point into the US military market, it said in a first-quarter 2020 earnings call on 1 June.

Embraer KC-390S ource: Embraer


“The original business plan for the [KC-390] did not include countries such as the US, for example. So the market perspective remains positive for the [KC-390],” says Francisco Gomes Neto, chief executive of Embraer.

“And of course, I mean here we also have opportunities for future partnerships. But at this moment, we are still in the process to evaluate alternatives and possible business models.”

Gomes Neto does not name potential collaborators on the KC-390, though China and India have been mentioned as possible partners for the company’s commercial aviation division. Partnerships with companies in those Asian countries could open huge regional airliner markets for the manufacturer’s E-Jets.

However, linking the production or sale of the KC-390 to China or India could be tricky given fraught geopolitics. In particular, increasing Western hostility towards Beijing amid the coronavirus crisis and rivalry with the USA might make such a deal difficult.

The USA remains an important market for the Sierra Nevada/Embraer A-29 Super Tucano light-attack aircraft. Washington also has the ability to issue financial sanctions against countries who buy aircraft from nations it does not like, a tool it has used to hurt sales of Russian military aircraft.

Nonetheless, partnering with a company with strategic ties to a foreign government could help sales of the KC-390 as deals for military aircraft often are influenced by local politics.

For example, the first international customer for the KC-390 was Portugal, a country with strong historical ties to Brazil and with industrial participation in the programme. Embraer says it started production of the first of Lisbon’s five jets in late 2019.

The company has five KC-390s at different stages of production. It anticipates delivering two more examples to the Brazilian air force by the end of 2020, in line with its first-quarter projections. In 2019, the company delivered two KC-390s to Brasilia.

Embraer’s defence and security business unit generated $149 million in revenue in the first quarter of 2020, a 16.9% decline compared to the same period a year earlier.

The company’s financial performance across all its divisions, including military, commercial airliner, business jet and service units, fell 23% in the first quarter, to $634 million.

PAC is run by officers doing naukri

When Imran Khan took over, he threatened (communicated via ministers) all bureaucracy, if they signed on any document of CPEC they will be fired. One can see state ministers and even Imran Kahn seen giving threats on TV and claiming it as prerogative of PM.

As a result all mega projects, which were at the stage of operation became useless, this situation continued for months... until the point comes that nothing was moving in Pakistan's bureaucracy... which created side effect problems for the regime, example typing mistakes in extension letter of Bajwa.
At this point Imran Khan had to assure the bureaucrats they may not be framed as allies of PMLN.

Again... i say we lack selfless leadership at top level, those who seek extensions or do all wrong just for grabbing top political position are any thing but leaders.

My impression of Asif Ghafoor is also same, from distance he appears to be a competent officer, but nothing come close to once Musharraf.

CPEC should be renegotiated in Pakistan's favor just like we renegotiated gas pipeline with Russia.

CPEC should be renegotiated in Pakistan's favor just like we renegotiated gas pipeline with Russia.

If not renegotiated, it should be re-evaluated. I mean it's strategic importance for China should be re-evaluated.
At least i can tell you that much... imagine if China's sea route is disrupted, how can they reach their largest market Africa.... i will not state any further on this topic.
