Still you went for a cheap t-90 instead of western tanks hahahaha. BTW our all Khalid best suit our needs and is an asset compare to arjun a liability. And for your little information, every powerful country needs to have indigenous industry shouldn't be dependent on others
al Khalid and jf-17 not Pakistan made says who? You? Nobody gives a damn about it. 200 Al Khalid 1 being inducted currently are Pakistan owned and technology for tanks engines will be transferred to Pakistan with these 200 engines from Ukraine. Al Khalid 2 our totally own project will start soon. 2% ?? With the technology of engine Al Khalid will be totally ours kiddo. Now let's come to JF-17. 58% JF-17 block 2 jet is produced in Pakistan. Other than engine block 3 will be completely produced here. How come you say JF-17 is not our product when we have signed the deal for selling JF-17 to 2 countries and the third deal is being negotiated? I mean your statement doesn't makes any sense at all. Only 3 tejas are in service which were forcefully inducted despite the fact that JF-17 which started later than tejas have 86 jets in service, 2 dual seater produced taking total to 88 while 12 more will be produced before the completion of this fiscal year 2017-18. Only 3 tejas are in service which were inducted forcefully to honour that tejas. Your navy recently rejected tejas. Originally tejas was built to be produced massively to replace mig-21 and mig-27 and I can't see that happening currently. 124 arjun were inducted and further induction has stopped. More than half of those arjun tanks are not operational and this is a fact. Indian army openly rejected arjun and DRDO was asked to look towards arjun weight. If you have ever studied about land wars than you would have known that 60 ton tank fights only on desert or semi desert terrain so it cannot be used everywhere. If that crap arjun is so successful than why you are running behind more t-90s, why not arjun?
The author clearly states 124 tanks are inducted...justthey don't workI thought the writer was an Indian.But I was wrong .A Pakistani
He has PHDWhat PHD?
Nothing substantial can be seen in this article.Only some jealous and concerns because of India's growing power.
All you need to count two factors .
Our military spending is just below the 2% of our entire GDP.
10 years ago our poverty share was 50% now 21.60%
Finish .
Rest are the usual cryings of our friends in PDF.India is this ,Modi is that .Oh then Fureher ,Hitler etc etc .
FYI :Tejas and Arjun tank both are inducted .
We don't claim to invent a square wheel.We all know why JF-17 backed out of the Bahrain airshow at the last minute when you lot saw that Tejas too was about to perform, so lets not kid ourselves.
This is what the PAC website says.
"Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) holds the exclusive rights of 58% of JF-17 airframe co-production work."
That's the airframe not the components inside, so think twice about lying.
And if you are confused because of that echo chamber you have locked yourself into, here, from the PAC website.
This is all you "make".

You are selling to other countries because China is allowing you.
You can keep saying the same thing but we are already scaling up production.
It won't always be 3 in a year, also its 5 Tejas since induction that are flying and which have done upwards of 600 sorties.
HAL has initiated the investment of 1331 crore into ramping up production to 16 Tejas a year.
You telling me its "forced" when new production facilities are being opened and crores are being spent?
You are just deluding yourself into believing that Tejas is a failure when everything related to Tejas right about now is picking up speed, I would have almost believed you 3-4 years ago but now is a completely different story.
A Tejas flew 6 days ago and as a special gift to piss you off, another Tejas will fly before new year.
This is the Indian content in Tejas name a few of yours?
Tejas had a dual seat variant long before JFT.
Also Arjuns WERE not operational, NOW THEY ARE & THAT IS FACT.
And that only happened because of lack of spare parts not because Arjuns suddenly broke down.
And that happened because the army wouldn't order more which as we have already seen is keen to make Arjun fail even when Arjuns are better than T90s(AS PROVEN IN TRIALS), and all of this results in DRDO not scaling up production units, and hence we have to import.
However you needn't worry IA is yet to give upon Arjun, IA's EME corp is specifically working with DRDO to reduce weight and the like.
High Nitrogen Steel, aluminium and other alloyed materials, etc are already being employed as we speak to make Arjun better than it already is.
But keep living in denial we will keep bettering ourselves.
LOL come back when you have the Al-Khalid engine.
Al-Khalid is nothing more than an MBT-2000 copy.
We already make our Arjun engines in house.
The effort to indigenisation becomes clear when you look at the future projects initiated by both our countries.
We have offsets with Dassault to complete the final stages of Kaveri engine, we are making the Uttam AESA radars, etc. Same with Arjun; new 1500HP engine for the Arjun Mk2, and other related systems.
Not that you'll accept it in front of Indians but you know deep down that since you have no actual plans to make such systems you are not actually making anything, you are just importing with utter duplicity just calling it "joint-venture".
We on the other hand are attempting and eventually succeeding.
mods check this troll post out tom M has lost his mind today every single post is a troll comment these days.LOL, it's simple because economically you don't have much better options. Not because they are some state of the art as compared to international competitors. But luckily India can still afford foreign stuff with robust (if not great) economy and good enough defense budget, which gives the luxury for our defense decision makers to easily reject home made stuff with ease. Understood Mr. Genius.
as you are so concerned about pakistan social sector here is indias reality
