The Air Chief reiterated goodwill of the government and the people of Pakistan and thanked the Saudi leadership for their support to Pakistan and its armed forces. Earlier, the Air Chief also met Chief of General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, General (Staff) Fayyadh Bin Hamid bin Ragad Al- Rwaili.
 
If Saudi's had any wits there could have been a PAK-ARAB Aeronautical Complex by now. We'd have been building latest fighter jets with no shortage of human resources or finances together. In fact, the "OIC" could have funded the project as a collective goodwill joint Muslim-Unity project. We could have hired Iranian scientists as well.

There's never been a shortage of scientists in the Muslim world for the past 1400 years and it would have helped Saudis in their current turmoil. A showcase of modern "Purchased" weapons only sit idle in a glass case of display. Saudi's need us now, sure, but I'm wondering whether its too late now...

Probably yes.

But the Air Chief met IMCTC individually and officially
which means PAF knows what role they will have to play.

The navy should already be more than onboard.
 
JF-17 is cheap way to deal US pressure and plus Indigenization of defense products.
I think a Saudi investment in the next generation plane is due. A joint venture makes sense, Saudis have probably learnt the hard way that they are now almost broke due to leaching of their wealth by countries who had no empathy or sympathy to their well being and just used them as cash cows.
