We are building our own defense industries through JVs and ToTs of the world's best equipment. This is far much better than starting expensive R&Ds from scratch and try to make something comparable to what others have made.
We have access to much superior Military Technologies and Equipment NOW. Later we might not have that pleasure so we better make the best use of it while we can. Making JVs with Pakistan is commendable of course and I am all for it but perhaps after our ToT thrive for the best we can get and the world has to offer. We can offer much better.
You all have to face it KSA is not just a country dripping with oil and money anymore. We have our own engineers and technicians now who are on par with the world's finest and many more are yet to come in what is termed as the "Largest education undertaken in this century".

And no no no, why would i or any other Pakistani Nationalist be
JEALOUS as a few members here have been suggesting and implying in their posts? I can't see why I or anyone of my countrymen who hold dear the efforts of the brave sons of the soil, who, with their untiring efforts, dedication, and determination brought Pakistan to its feet by the Grace of God and made it a military power, and that too a Nuclear one, would be jealous???
