tbh, i dont think the jf-17 should be turned into anything.
What i think is the way forward is focusing on one thing, we dont have enough money to diversify, what we need to do is identify an area and work on that, i.e missile tech. We could focus our institutions on development of very high performance missiles, research leading tech like the others and become truly good at it, as opposed to having many mediocre things. I fear we are falling behind quickly, especially seeing the performance of ad against Ukrainian missiles and vice versa
