Not exactly dear, ..... lets compare with our immediate aggressor, our K-8 serving us for over two decades and operational with several other air forces while their Sitara IJT has yet to shine hence they had to buy the British Hawk trainers, the JF-17 operational with half a dozen squadrons, the Tejas after over two decades is still a breaking news product, more over the IAF had to recently purchase even the turbo prop PC-7 trainers, which incidentally first flew back in 1966, while our Mashaq and super Mashaq are nothing short of a success story, and then there's time lapse between AL-Khalid and Arjun..... so i'm not sure what do you mean by time is running out, while some projects maybe on the drawing boards others are well into the pipeline.....as for time running out, the same could be said about our water dams....should we stop their construction or as they say, better late than never.
