Qatar, Pakistan sign Super Mashak sale agreement

That is not true. Arabs have supported Pakistan through thick and thin. If we had been a bit more honest there would have been a lot more investment in pakistan by the Arabs but als we are corrupt to the core. Pakistan needs to stand on its own feet and not expect anyone to help.Till we do so we will not progress.
Why this formula doesn't apply to ARAB Countries. They have money, resources. Why not they put investment on R&D and invites Pakistanis, Indonesians, Iranians etc. Instead they feel proud in making Hard Cash payments to westerns & will not even make a 10 km range radar for their defence. We Pakistanis do adopt one gen behind technology and try to make use of it. If sources are there for R&D how isn't possible that we make better equipments in every field.

I am not defending Arabs, but the Products you mentioned are nothing what Arabs have got, naturally no one wants a Product that is not the best of the best , while they can afford the best.
And what will happen when oil resources are dried up. Then what will they buy? JF-17 thunders?? Or something we will be making at that time and it will be still behind the western technology but they will need it then. Maybe we then change our mind.

If people who buy weapons from us are non Arabs perhaps we just need to rebrand the weapons with western names

Alkhalid -----> Meteor Tank
F22P -----> Coastal defender 3000
Hamza APC -----> Sigma APC
JF17 -----> Indus Eagle , Block 3 I am also ok with "Fearless Dragon, Block 3"
Super M -----> Young Falcon
K-8 ------> Recon 8 (Training / Light Patrol craft)
Azmat -------> Blue Pheonix (Stealth Missile craft)

And also this whole deal of buying parts from Ukraine has to stop make stuff in house locally
its been 20 years since we started the Tank program and yet we are still looking for nuts and bolts from Ukraine

Just get Licenced production like China does with Russia

True, they did give us money for science and development projects but unfortunately that money is setting in mr.10% account in Switzerland.

Dont get it twisted. That money came from the gulf to allow Egypt to play the role of mercenary. Egypt is not wealthy by any stretch. Rather its economy is roughly the same size as Pakistans (perhaps slightly larger) being 21st and 24th largest respectively. That $$$ came as blood money for the Egyptian soldiers being used as cannon fodder by the gulf militaries in Yemen.

Yes their economy is the same size as that of Pakistan, but their population is less then half of ours, so technically they are twice as rich on average then us.

The arabs have their own problems. Their population is illiterate and lazy. They have too much corruption and want to keep their populace busy with their toys. The reason they get western toys is the bribes and other fun and games that come with these toys. Their needs are there but the heart of their population is not in struggling when they can get it easily. Things are changing but it will take time. But given the way things are going it may be a case of too little too late. You cannot do research with expatriate population as they have no interest in the country itself. The western powers also encourage them to take it easy to fill up their own coffers.

I beg to differ Egypt is not poor

a) They bought Rafale
b) They bought Apache
c) They bought fancy Choppers from Russia
d) They bought god damn Helicopter carrier from France



Once Thunder attains the Block 3/4 status sales should materilize but we have to make Thunder competitive bird from marketing prespective and physical presence​
check their gdp
just because saudis ban rolled a few things when sisi over throwed a govt that support brotherhood org and palestianian movement

as i said before arabs dont want another govt apart from israel that can oppose them, they believe in single state solution

their gdp is same as pakistan, per capita they are still in same group as us

their debt is >100% GDP
 
.
Well Egypt really is very similar in their economic setup similar to Pakistan
If Pakistan was a Arabic speaking country we would be called Egypt

Please tell what is threat to Qatar from its neighbours. They will never go into war with each other as there isn't much need of it. And little threats that exists can be overcome by a moderate airforce. Yeah if there is need of any defence equipment it's with their navy.

The Qatari build up is both against Iran and an Unstable and unreliable Iraq. Now that Iraq has gone they worry more about the Saudi hagemony than anything else. Forget Israel. Their Queen at one time was great friend of Sivi Libby. At the moment they are not concerned about Israel but this will be to their detriment. But then do in the middle East as the Saudi does so why worry about being Israel's friend.
From an operational perspective they need to operate over the sea qnd therefore need twin engines for safety purposes.

Man you should be marketing guy for Pakistani arms. Also should name them as well instead of Mughal Era names(some of which are really cool and should be kept).
