Work started under kiyani and now Raheel can see the results but it will completely happen in 2020
 
Well I hope he is right ask him what are alternate we are interested in ??
Well since it was a phone conversation, he was quite ambiguous, but they are seriously evaluating a number of platforms. Which ones? I don't know.
