You will laugh if i tell you exactly what UAV Parts Pakistan is exporting to Turkey.
Thats not a joint venture,and none of those parts are for a UCAV, all are for UAV.
China's Wing loong UCAV is up and running,and is offered to Pakistan,so thats not a joint venture either.
Until the day Pakistan has her own geo stationary satellite dedicated for military communications....forget about a UCAV.
Pakistan armed forces top brass currently has no clue how and where to use the abundantly available made in Pakistan UAVs, and whatever they have is hardly ever used.
Made in Pakistan C-41 secure communication systems are available.......
Oh what the hell.... I shouldnt be writing such long comments.
In short its a matter of military planning,finances and will to deploy drones . None of that is there...
To be honest Pakistan does not need joint venture with any country for UCAV, can do it ourselves.
The only joint venture currently going on is with Malaysia and thats a ToT from Pakistan to Malaysia , not the other way round.
Well, Pakistan has provided some parts to Boeing as well, should we laugh at this matter? Turkey's ANKA is no joke business for Pakistan's part, it has to be serious parts, overall their TAI President has expressed very satisfied with the quality of knowledge from PAC Kamra. We must be thankful that Turkey given this drone opportunity for the benefit experiments.
Edit: However, I believe boss didn't tell you every details of information publicly on parts related to ANKA which are very little detail until the serial production, boss tend to keep secret hai na.
^^^ Beidou is currently less accurate than Gps but Pakistan operates ground starion for Beidou,so its a give and take between china and Pakistan.
Beidou and other positioning satellite constellations need geographically distributed satellite tracking and data uplink stations,and SUPARCO does it for the chinese. So china needs Pakistan for Beidou hence all cooperation is there.....but does she need us for UCAV?
I guess not and no joint venture is there.
Chinese satellites can be used for secure communications and recently china has reserved some bandwidth/frequency spectrum for Pakistan...
Yes, Pakistan already sharing bandwidth with China satellites which are taking steps but also China offer CH-4 or Wing Loong drones, the decision is up to Pakistan and its financial limits. It is too early to tell but we know Pakistan Army has poor vision and doesn't prepare well in ahead of times on drones issues and R&D that War on Terror may over soon next five years.
Don't be delusional, my friend. At least, we should have little small optimistic.
