according to you Pakistan never be able to build a submarine or naval warship !!!
Then why PAF consuming their precious time in JF 17 thunder program ???
we can't build a jet engine, a reader , the avionics, the Landing gears !!!
There are two aspects to this issue.
1. I honestly think Pakistan *is* capable of producing its own engine, avionics, etc. provided it is governed by a sincere leadership who generates the cash necessary to bring together the talent, technology, expertise, etc. Pakistan has the vision and resources to move forward, it just lacks the leadership and organization.
2. However, unfortunately, Pakistan is stuck in the rut of sellout politicians and indifferent generals. Without the right leadership, you can't expect Pakistan to be self-sufficient in its indigenous efforts. Who is going to foot the bill for R&D in turbofan technology and license manufacturing critical components? Not the GOP, they're too busy paying off interest to the IMF and siphoning off the remains for their own pockets. Who is going to spend 24 months to build out "China-level" ties with Brazil, South Africa, Czech Republic, Ukraine, South Korea, etc? Not our diplomats!
Let me be clear. Pakistan is fortunate to have the gifts (intellectual, physical, geo-strategic, etc) to thrive, it is just cursed with a parasitic rulers and their broken system (that lets them in). Our challenges are entirely political and social, not material (we managed to produce nuclear energy via parallel uranium and plutonium programs, for God's sake - literally!).
