Pakistan Aeronautical Complex Will Now Have to Meet These Objectives

[denel]

Please note that Pakistan Air Force only induct those for commission as GD Pilots and Aeronautical Engineers who are out of the box thinkers.

Fighter pilots are considered as elite in GD(P) branch as these are the best of the best. That's why PAF is considered as one of the world's best Air Forces. All senior pilots hold MS degree in military sciences.

Similarly, about 20 to 30% of young Aeronautical Engineers are holding either MS or Ph D degrees. Most of these highly qualified engineers are deployed either at CAE PAF Academy, Risalpur or PAC Kamra.

If these highly qualified and professional people are not out of the box thinkers than who will be?

Also note that K-8 and JF-17, jointly produced by China and Pakistan were proved to be great success in a highly competitive international market. On the other hand, other Chinese military aircraft could not succeed. Appreciate that JF-17 was inducted in PAF. Chinese Air Force did not procure these fighters. Even than JF-17 was sold to two countries and many other are seriously considering/negotiating to buy these aircraft. Both versions of Mushshak, MFI-17 and MFI-395, displayed outstanding performance in international market.

Overall marketing performance was good. But now marketing campaign should evolve for better performance!!!

Sorry friend, i dont hold your thoughts in agreement. For us, airforce pilots are a users; there needs to be demarkation. If you go to AVIC/airbus or even or other places, aeronautical engineers are not pilots. This is the problem in my opinion all along. You have channelised everything via the armed forces and now allowed independent growth.

Can you imagine if this was run by aeronautical engineers and university affiliated graduates; out of the box thinking vs being constrained by folks who have narrow view points. That is what I am trying to get at. No offence.

Free flight before learning to walk can be dangerous. We simply have not had the requisite level of understanding of the aviation business and its demands to run it. PAF in my view has picked up the poison chalice primarily as there was not enough of an infrastructure to do so at least in the 80s and 90s. Now that things are changing PAC will also change. However our nation in gneral tends to be ill disciplined and involving the public could mean the politicians using PAC to employ its people. Merit and Pakistan has not gotten on very well so one needs to be careful.

Raw Materials Or finished goods from that country, but it looks like all of our potential customers just have raw materials we would want. Nigerian, Sudanese and Azerbaijani Oil, Malaysian Palm Oil, Egyptian Natural Gas

and Maybe Saudi Oil in the future; for a rebuilt Saudi based Yemeni Air Force; Maybe.

Uranium?

@denel,

There is no Pakistani engineering complex where civilian engineers can go and do their thing.

Pakistan military is the most advanced engineering complex that there is in pakistan---.

Their abiities and capabilities are far beyong those available in the pakistani civilian realm---.

The military issues are financial constraints---. That is what eats them up---.

They would rather have an 90% capability / working product rather than a misfit that just became a promise ( Teja ) riding a flatbed---.

So---in that regard---pak military engineering works has done a great job---.

With the JF17---the military consortium has reached that certain plateau from which they can take a major leap forward and upwards---.

AVIC became major shareholder of both COMAC and AECC by transferring its assets and companies

I don't know why some foreigners talks to Chinese with something Chinese never know?
https://xin.baidu.com/company_detail_24686712604028?rq=ef&pd=ee&from=ps
major holder: 国务院国有资产监督管理委员会 49.8%
AVIC only takes 9.97%

By with way, PAC have a MOU with CATIC, so no possilbe COMAC supply chain.
