The Chinese army sends material aid to Pakistan. Part of the freight was provided by a Y-20 registered 20044, from the 13th transport division of PLAAF. This is the first time that this Chinese transport aircraft has left China.

Don't understand for Heavy Transport why we can't buy this? And modify it to our needs.

Project AZM

In tandem with China, Pakistan is reportedly developing a 5th generation stealth fighter. Like Pakistan’s previous venture with China, the JF-17, the AZM will likely be largely dependent on Chinese technology and assistance, though the final airframes may be assembled in Pakistan.

China’s FC-31 stealth fightermay be a starting place for the Project AZM idea. It is lightweight, compact, and presumably on the cheaper (and less capable) side when compared to China’s Chengdu J-20.


A home-grown stealth fighter would be a prestige win for Pakistan, though the likely focus on cost-reduction raises questions about the airframe’s final capabilities. Still, developing a stealth fighter would be an impressive feat for a country with a defense budget under $8 billion.

Proliferating Capabilities

The proliferation of stealth technologies is the next frontier of weapon control regimes and may well rule the twenty-first-century.

Because of something called CPFH (Cost Per Flight Hour).
