The turkey chopper sale was an indication that all western equipment sane pure european equipment transfer is dead
Why?
It has to do with sucessfull lobbying of india
Dont be surprised that 20 years from now india and china may become neutral and you may get a ban from china as well..!
Lesson here is self reliance or joint ventures WITH SIMILAR countries like ukrain turkey south africa. If u own part of IP then ban is less likely
Lets enjoy the occasion for the new toy imminent induction if the news is true but?
There is no substitute for the "Made in Pakistan". China and India have got huge amount of trade and nothing must be taken for granted. Who knows tables can turn on us, so we need to wise up and self sufficiency is the only way forward. We need to set up a committee who can over see and allocate the funds for the Economy, education and industrialization regardless which politician is in power and with the backing of constitutional based enforceable powers. Who thought after the aftermath of the 9/11and few years afterwards Pakistan/US relations will sink to that low hence we need to bear everything and everyone in our calculus. We are proud of Pak-China friendship but we will end up fighting our own wars hence we must improve our economy.
