Pakistan and Turkey can help & cooperate with each other...
Not happening. If it happens, at worse, it would be till Trump is in the office until next year. After that, it would be restored.
If that were to happen, Turkey would simply walk out of all commitments in NATO, which would be a huge, huge set-back at least in the short run. US wouldn't do that. It might eventually restrict some in-coming technology (not F-35 maybe, but some sub-set of its technology).
In next 10-15 years, TAF will focus on replacing their oldest F-16s with the upcoming TF-X. This would initially use RR engines, and then switch to a domestic option.
This would mean that by 2040, TAF would be almost completely self-reliant.
