JF 17 was a joint venture like AK.Pakistan doesn’t have infrastructure to make JF-17 from scratch nor the funds. It is extremely in debt.
Some parts may be made in Pakistan, but majority of everything is supplied by China.
PAC is trying to localize the JF 17 like in house project for AESA radar development
HUD development etc.
We are also looking for a foreign partner for fifth generation fighter jet development.
JF 17 project gave us huge knowledge about Aerospace industry.There was time when we imported some electronics to integrate in Mirages but we miserably failed.But today Alhamdulilah we have a good pool of Aerospace engineers thanks to joint ventures with China and to some extent South Africa (SA for providing us TOT about H2&H 4 from which we derived Raad ALCM series).
