You need a huge domestic market to justify domestic R&D fund and later production to sustain the cost.

There is reason why Pakistan now goes for Chinese submarine, Type054B frigate, VT-4 tank. Even the JF-17 , China can guranteee the supply of engine from Russia unlike Turkey who always at mercy of American. They r not capable of sustain or make major propulsion system. Better stick with Chinese.
The disaster of T-129K will not repeat again.
