Earlier reports from Aviation Week and Alan Warnes state that Pakistan will acquire some ToT - i.e. parts manufacturing and assembly. PAC will basically partner with TAI.
Without minimum 50 % ToT the deal is not sweet enough at all we have to get our young generation to get high level skilled jobs no just nut and bold fixers even a blind person can do that with directions .... same needs to be done with anything we import the deal needs to be like 50% ToT in 1 st 3 years or max 4 years with further help in r&d ....by the end of 5 years 75% TOT should be transferred then with any future updates
sir if we dont ask we dont get anything....we have to at least try not just give them our money get the helicopter after few years we get in to same senario like we had with usa where we cant get spares or upgrades on time ...
Better late than never.... The fruit of patience is sweet... etc....in 2018
With 30-40 helicopters required (initially, the final order also going to 60-70 machines AT MAX?) a full ToT is not required. What we need is a decent maintenance/over-haul and up-gradation facility along with some parts manufacturing for TAI as well (to reduce the cost of our purchase). This is the most likely route we will be taking anyway.
If they gonna sign the deal in 2018 then Helicopters will come in 2020
