The title is misleading "We will pass on" normally means we will not consider ... was a bit confused at the heading

Personal thought the 10 year wait for completion of project is a bit long time for fighter Jet induction. Would have been nice if this was 4 to 5 years

Body of the article contradicts the headline

Unless the translations is suppose to be "We will pass on Knowledge......"

 

[Rana4pak]

By grace of ALLAH beautiful and gracious era is waiting for both of us

It's a Google Translation thing ... You'll notice the language is semi-backwards when put into Google.

"If you take by two times you need to return by four times" - a Persian saying

The Sultan asked for Dua at the darkest moment of the history, the sub-continental Muslims returned Deva. Pak in the minds of the Turkish folks is the heir to the legacy of the great Muslim states. The minister has alluded to that understanding at the sate level affairs. Now, it's time for the payback. The rest are all details....

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

Great news

 

[RangeMaster]

A relation beyond interests....

 

[Hassan Guy]

Didn't China offer anything comparable or is Pakistan diversifying and hedging against eventual divorce with China?

Pakistan has a joint-production submarine deal with China.

 

[Super Falcon]

It means we are ordering MILEGAM Corvettes.

Mr straight shooter if we have a deal with turkey it doesn't mean we have any issues with China it shows how limited brain u have

 

[Dhara]

Didn't China offer anything comparable or is Pakistan diversifying and hedging against eventual divorce with China?

Same could be applied to Russia, why India chooses French Jet over Russian?

Bed hopping?

Well India uses its own money to procure systems, hence does not need to submit on the bed.

Unlike few nations who depend upon soft loans, aid, EDA, charity. They need to do the bed hopping.

Yea, unlike India, Pakistan is exporting the likes of basic and primary trainers and fighter jets, India OTOH has to import even something basic like the PC-7.....and we all know how Israelis see you in the video.

 

[Skywalker]

Divert the discussion when proved wrong.

I made a point to your claim of bed hopping , and I stick to it.Bed Hopping is required by nations who depend upon some kind of charity.

As for exporting , what's happening , is happening. I don't deny that part.

I never seen a country like India who pays to get screwed, this is another form of bed hopping if this what you are referring to, yes it's your money your choice to be screwed. Make in endia.
