PAF and TurAF have established deep rooted brotherly relations based on mutual respect and friendship.
Both have cooperated in fields of military expertise, training & technology.

Unfortunately the outcome would have been no different than what happened with the F-16 and soybean saga. Instead of the F-16s, it would have been the F-20s and soybean.

JF-17 program remains the most prudent thing to have happened for Pakistan Air Force. Hopefully the same focus and single-minded effort is being applied to what is to come next.
