Yep. The issue with engine MRO is that we will have to talk to LHTEC - i.e. Honeywell and Rolls-Royce - directly.The engines are the important bit. Pakistan was looking to acquire engine overhaul facilities for the Mi-17 turboshaft which interestingly also equips the Mi-35s.
TAI seems to have gotten the export licenses for the engines relatively recently, which is probably a big reason why we've seen a serious resurgence in talks over the T-129 between TAI and PA.
But MRO is a whole other ball game and it isn't something TAI has a right to promise, not without express permission and means given to them by LHTEC.
