Pakistan Aeronautical Complex has signed a deal with Turkish Aerospace Industries in its T-FX fifth generation fighter aircraft program where Pakistan has become an official partner.

The T-FX fighter will now be redesigned and modified by PAC, merged with Project Azm’s NGFA, to meet joint requirements of both countries’ air forces with a single platform. Development on the aircraft will be split between Pakistan and Turkey and expertise of both TAI and PAC will be pooled together for joint development of the fighter.

This will lower project costs, increase feasibility, increase capabilities of the fighter & shorten timelines. Final manufacturing of the TF-X/JF-XX will take place in both countries.

News of Pakistan joining TAI’s fifth generation fighter program was confirmed by the Chief Executive Officer of Turkish Aerospace to Pakistani media this week, saying the TF-X is now a “Turkish-Pakistani fighter” program.

The TF-X/TPF-XX/JF-XX is a joint Turkish-Pakistani twin-engine, multirole, stealth 5+ generation fighter aircraft development program.

ACM(R) Sohail Aman,

"We are integrating our technology with friendly countries, including Turkey. We are thinking of producing the next-generation aircraft by pooling resources with them. For this, the basic framework and agreements have been made. We are collaborating with Turkey for developing a next generation aircraft."

One downside of the Russian-Ukraine conflict is that Pakistan's T-129 order may get even more delayed. The Turks were looking at a Ukrainian option to replace the Honeywell power plant. Not sure what becomes of the situation now.

The Motor Sich engine was for the T-929. Turkey is developing its own engine -- TS1400 -- but it won't be for the T-129. Rather, the Turkish engine is for the T-625 and T-629 (the latter being the attack helicopter variant).

Overall, the lesson here is that we (be it Pakistan, Turkey, etc) can't take any outside supplier for granted. So, while Ukraine might be gone, we can't assume Russia or even China would remain. Granted, those countries will remain suppliers for the foreseeable future, we should be using that lead time to develop homegrown safeties. You never know when our respective interests will clash.

Pakistan-Turkey Will be working on multiple projects.

1) Corvette/Frigates
2) logistics ships
3) fifth generation fighter
4) Radar/sub-systems
5) submarine
6) Drones
7) mid/high range defense system
8) MRLS
9) helicopter

It might not be in this order.

The Ukraine situation should be an eye opener for people who argue that there is no point in re-inventing the wheel. The not-reinventing-the-wheel is a strategy to build a system with minimum budget/resources assuming that the components would be available during the lifetime of the project. Pakistan must localize all the knowledge streams (strategic & non-strategic alike) it can get its hands on. The state of industrialization needs to be upgraded nationwide constantly, in top-down manner.
