No, probably cheaper if made in Pakistan

Say, if a Hellfire costs US$150,000, how much does a Barq cost?
A JDAM is $18,000, how much would it cost to make one here?
A Paveway II costs US $22,000 how much would a similar bomb be here?

And what about smart bombs like the Turkish MAM family of bombs?

Barq would be from $1,000 to $5,000 probably. You have to remember that the costs of US weaponry is highly inflated to increase profits for the private companies (Lockheed, BAE, Northrup and others).

JDAM would be around $5,000. Paveway II would have similar cost to JDAM, around $5-7,000.

It can't be that less, 1/30th of the cost is a big discount,

Believe it or not, those wiki numbers aren't the actual cost of making these munitions.

The best decision that Pakistan Airforce made was to develop its own C2/3/4 systems and to have full control over it. I am sure it was a lot of hard work, blood and tears but the results are fantastic. The current network centric warfare capabilities of the PAF are underpinned by this system.

Large portions of what PAF has developed for these C2/3/4 systems can be used as the basis of a homegrown AEW&C/AWACs once Pakistan starts building AESA radars and learns how to modify large airliners as part of the Sea Sultan project.

Wow - basically Pakistan's entire "backbone" of its communication infrastructure is home grown and therefore secure. I am very very impressed by the range of products that NR&TC has managed to design, develop and manufacture in Pakistan. A real gem in the PWI of Pakistan for sure it seems.

Thanks for sharing these document - a pleasure to read for sure.

if NR&TC could get involved in the design, development and manufacturing of GaN based AESA T/R modules then we are not that far from getting to where Pakistan needs. The development of the ground based survellance radar is the first step in that direction, but it is shocking how far Pakistan is behind Iran, Egypt, Turkey and also India(!) in the home grown development of radar based systems.

So IRST pod program stopped. They can't build advanced one?

They did and used them. It’s a 30 year old tech.

Yet here is POF still importing 12.7 Dhshkas from Taiwan and calling it a miracle "Proud of Pakistan"

There is a massive difference in Quality considering ones manufactured by POF dont blow up on ones face. I was in peshawer few years back and saw someone fingers ripped apart by a freshly made Dara product on first time. Dara made weapons are good for decoration not for firing by a regular army or anyone. Nowadays weapons requires precision engineering which is always the reason why POF has trouble manufacturing anything even close to latest. POF will need to switch to latest tools to produce nice goodies.

Say, if a Hellfire costs US$150,000, how much does a Barq cost?
A JDAM is $18,000, how much would it cost to make one here?
A Paveway II costs US $22,000 how much would a similar bomb be here?

And what about smart bombs like the Turkish MAM family of bombs?

In US weapons are manufactured by private industries which is why their costs are high. On the other hand in countries like Pakistan Public enterprises lead manufacturing which cuts down several types of cost for example labor, tax. Also public enterprises can provide weapons at cost or at very little profit same is not case with private sector. For example Western tanks cost 10-15 million per piece whereas Al Khalid 1 costs around 1.5 Mil per piece. Our new VT4 Tanks cost about 2-3 million a piece.
