Hey Mate,
I said both military and civilian leaderships are involved and when I say the "leadership", it is not limited to politicians and military command, it also covers bureaucrats and even private sector to a lesser extent. However, as military has stayed directly in power for the good part (~half) of the country's life so it cannot be exempted at all and also since military is much more independent financially than rest of the institutions, it can take initiatives on its own too.
Just remember each deal to buy a foreign system harms the cause of indigenisation and self reliance in addition to hurting economy and our political autonomy. Also almost every deal involves kickbacks and commissions by both military and political leadership. This also speaks for the hypocrisy of the West that normally pretends to be very fair and honest but when it comes to dealing with the foreign clients the ethics, morality and even laws are easily ignored.
As you said, we are not making even very basic electronics and materials and that's because most of the policies in our country are anti-indigenisation. Our govts have kept the Pakistani auto market captive to only the Japanese manufacturers and namely three brands Suzuki, Toyota and Honda even till date none of them have completed their deletion programs and none is producing 100% locally. Some mindless idiot will come and tell us that "oh we are producing 80-90% of that car model" and I say shove that 90% up his rear. By this time, Pakistan's auto industry should have not only been able to produce 100% of the parts for each model locally but also be able to design new car models locally and export the surplus.
Furthermore, we don't even have our own brand...not a single one.
One guy (Feroz Khan) tried with Adam Revo but it failed because of non-favourable policies. Because the Japanese bribe all of our corrupt politicians and bureaucrats and the people of Pakistan have to pay the price but I'm not sad for them because it is their own fault. They elect corrupt people.
