I think that I couldn't elaborate my point properly.
An MBT have hundreds of parts in it. My point is that few countries in the world have the industrial capability (and access to relevant resources) to develop these parts on their own. Since these countries can develop an entire MBT (almost) by themselves, they are also likely to produce workable designs.
Many countries do not have the industrial capability to develop an MBT indigenously. Now, this doesn't implies that they cannot have domestic MBT projects. However, these domestic MBT projects are also made possible through foreign exports and based on proven designs.
For example; Al-Khalid MBT is one of the domestic projects of Pakistan. However, it isn't indigenous in the manner as a layman may assume.
The above is true for passenger planes as well. Few countries in the world have the industrial capability to develop a passenger plane indigenously. Again these are USA, UK, France and Russia.
Thats true with a lot of things. An iPhone uses technology from other companies but no one claims that its not an indegenious product.
