Turkey also faced sanctions after 1974 Cyprus war... you know what happened next? Our prime minister at that time has established TSKGV(Turkish Armed Forces Empowerment Foundation) that foundation owns TAI, ASELSAN, HAVELSAN, and about %60 of Turkish defence industry. You could say our defence industry has started with sanctions
We established HIT,PAC,AWC etc after 71 war... even nuclear weapons prog.. and by 83 our nukes were ready... some say we conducted cold tests by 83-4..
JF-17 itself was born in the 90s.. during US sanctions due to our nuclear prog.. right after the afghan jihad..
