Do we need military satellite? Take a look into where Pakistan stands in space

ISRO wasn't too high up the to-do list for our government either and during the 60s-70s India and pakistan's economy weren't that different.
ISRO had started off with literally nothing.

You will need real vision if pakistan wants to become a true space faring nation. Decide 30-40 years in advance, integrate educational institutions and various other state organizations, make new organizations, not fear failures, not let the pakistani missile program hold SUPARCO hostage, resources wise you'll need to sacrifice a lot, absolute political will from all political parties and in pakistan's case army as well.
A few tests here and there and just depending on bigger nations isn't going to cut it. We saw first hand that no matter how much of an ally you think your ally is, they won't help you indefinitely and in the end you are on your own.

It is constant uphill battle. Like......


The time is soon upon the world when space too will be weaponized, and pakistan is already late in that front.
And if SUPARCO isn't thinking of launching a PSLV type medium lift rocket in the next 10-20 years then pakistan is already too late.

Space exploration is an expensive national objective for the state to pursue. In addition, if a state is a developing country facing much pressing traditional and non-traditional threats, space exploration tends to end up an optional objective.Every state has a right to prioritize which ever national objective it wants to achieve first. When it has issues like poverty, corruption, unemployment and terrorism etc. at hand, aiming for the space becomes a herculean task. Same happened in case of Pakistan.Due to a lack of resources, bureaucratic hurdles, and mismanagement, Pakistan’s space program, especially when it comes to commercial space exploration has seen a considerable decline.Now, the only hope for the space agency is the Mission 2040. The Space Programme 2040 is a satellite development and launch programme of the Suparco, Pakistan’s supreme space research authority.Hopefully, the current government will take a look at this issue and support the Mission 2040 in bringing Pakistan back to the space race.

Pakistan has already adopted BeiDou navigation satellite system. This is a non issue, Pakistan's priority is economic security!
