Sometimes pursuit of national interests supersedes mere economics. What price would you put on the ability to manufacture airframes in-house? Or the expertise to design and build critical componentry? Making such engines would be first step towards more advanced products, don't you think?
That is a very superficial view, IMO. You make it sound as though Economy somehow is not important by flashing the canard of national interest and qualifying it with a "sometimes", conveniently ignoring that you are talking about a piston engine? Must you turn everything into an argument? Must you, then, win by any means necessary? Why should I agree with your obviously counter-intuitive assertion? Must I remind you of the importance of Economy in strategic matters? Why must GOP spend my taxes on a stupid, un-needed, wasteful, non-strategic, cart-before-horse project to make &^$^# piston engines that nobody would buy? Are you not aware of GOP follies like Steel Mill that has cost tax payers & consumers an arm and a leg? Such projects are made without any regard to economics and for "national interest". Man, some people never learn.
Do you really really think that Pakistan does not have the expertise to manufacture piston engines? If you do, then you really do not know what the heck you are talking about. Like they say, and rightly so, 'Its the economy, stupid!'.
