The Pakistan state wants to expand it connectivity, trade and links in the region and through repurcussions of the same the world. If we want to do business on such a scale, we are going to have to acquire stronger military muscle. Therefore, it becomes essential to expand our sea force and the air force. Land force numbers/abilities can be played around with.
We want to spread our wings in Central Asia and towards the Borneo-Sumatra region. Therefore our uncle minded generals will have to concede to professional warrior generals. Likes of Durrani, HIT & POF uncles, the brigadier that was hanged etc need to be done away with. Secondly the bahaney baazi needs to end oh we don't have money, oh we don't have requirements, ahh we don't have economy of scale. The thousands of engineers Pakistani universities pump out can't do anything. HIT and POF wasted 2 whole decades, billions of dollars in funding. They can't do anything. Let's wait for Gora or Iron Brother to be our savior. Needs to end(bit of a rant I know. I sound like a broken record I know).
Navy has started fleet expansion which is good. Air Force needs to look into this as well. Air Force is lacking in logistic abilities most of our helicopter and fixed wing air lift fleet is medium lift. And we are flying 60 year old aircraft. Might as well call them flying museums.
So we need to expand our horizons. Having a stake/JV in embraer or KC390 would be absolutely splendid in my view(if there is a contradictory view please lemme hear it).
Also we are also lacking our own Helo industry in that we have none!
While the enemy has started making their own helos.
Turks are a good JV candidate in that regard also the new Russian Mi38. I believe there is also a Sino-Russian heavy lift chopper in the works as well.
But it has to be a JV. Otherwise we could also just go and buy Z-20 blackhawk copy from Iron Brother but that won't give us any industrial or long term benefit.
