Both the above posts have real flawed logic. Indigenous is the way to go for a country like Pakistan. You guys never like your own stuff and that's why you guys are always separated nationally. Look at Indians, they hate each others states and backgrounds but to the world, they ALL become ONE INDIA. JFT will provide a valuable option and hedge against the west in case others think of sanctions. They'll lose more control over Pakistan by doing so as Pakistan can say good bye and increase the quantity of what they are building. It may not be a F-22 but it's decent enough to defend Pakistan's sky.....vs. top of the line jets that look pretty on tarmac and can't fly due to spares or can't be upgraded!
