It is not a duplicity at all. It is up to the manufacturer to decide. Pakistan should start investing in R & D like Swedes or the Americans did. It is our job to fulfill the defence requirements by investing in research.
Why cannot we persuade them to help us?
What are we lagging?
Moreover, if they are not interested than we should find alternatives. The best alternative is to produce goods locally.
It is duplicity if you qoute one reason to one country and then sell to its neighbour in contravention to the same. This relates to the swedish Constitution which was the reason for my comment.
We are fulfilling our defence needs and the thunder is a response to that very same need.
We are lacking everything from basic infrastructure to ethos to finances. I agree with the sentiment behind your post but from the practical point of view, it is unsound. Even Sweden does not possess all the industrial know how that has gone into the gripen and has had to rely on other vendors for it.it is purely an economical choice.
