Corruption and self interest on Pak side. This is exactly what scuttled the deal with Turkey when we were trying to sell Rooivalk helos back in 90's. Their high command was under pressure of EU/US not to deal under pretext of carrots to join EU etc. Think of it this way - you need gunships - we have the know how, design and complete production can be done - but not once we were approached.as other members wrote already what's stopping Pakistan from joint ventures and deeper military cooperation with South Africa?
You need mine proof vehicles - all countries have come to us for TOT including Americans after they got eaten up in Iraq; but did Pak ever consider coming to even discuss how best to come up with a low cost solution - we always believe there is a solution for every client - NOTHING.Corruption and self interest on Pak side.
