My gut tells me that this will probably be an industry level partnership with TAI sending some valuable work to PAC in exchange for T-129 and MILGEM contracts - i.e. offsets. Of course, the industry element could lead to the PAF buying a few TFX to begin replacing F-16s, but that need not happen. PAC also made Anka UAV parts, even though neither the PAF or the PA bought Anka UAVs.
"Pakistan and Turkey are about to spend a great deal of time on the defense industry, and with the approach of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan," Turkey should produce a national war plane, "Turkey will start to produce its own national war plane in 10 years. First, the Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) will provide support for the integration of our factory, and the second phase will be a business alliance with the British Air Force, and at that point we will be the partner of this program in Pakistan.
