It's difficult if a major project was undertaken all of a sudden...like for example if all these nations tried building a tank...
...it would run into problems for various reasons...like for example Pakistan would probably be more interested in making one that can perform well in hot desert conditions where sand can get everywhere while this might not be something that Turkey and Brazil may have to consider. Such situations have arisen before...where due to different requirements nations abandon working on a common project and end up going their separate ways(e.g. Rafale/EFT).
This is why it's important to start small...and consider a project from all angles before proceeding into it. An excellent example could be a UAV. Turkey already has made progress...while Ukraine, South Africa, and Brazil all can accomplish that too(and have the need)...but if each ends up going their own(like Pakistan is) then it's just each nation reinventing the wheel...footing the whole bill itself...and possibly being each other's competitor.
If they can agree to divide up some sort of a workshare...I think that would be an excellent place to start...and would bring the cost per drone lower(the more they are produced). Another example could be of artillery.
All these countries may be small players in defense industry on their own...but the one thing they have in common is that they represent a third option that at least for now seems free of the strings that come attached with western and eastern options(although eastern options generally have less strings attached). All that's needed is for these third options to realize their strength...and come together to give a synergistic rise to their defense industries. Otherwise they would either wane depending on the economy, demand, and political circumstances(e.g. Ukraine and to a lesser extent South Africa and Brazil) or just chug along at an unremarkable pace mainly catering to domestic needs(Pakistan and Turkey).
@Indos indonesia would be a good fit here as well...Indonesia also has a fledgling defense industry that has its own strengths it can offer.
Well I think joint venture is the solution and Indonesia has made a way on that road with several program with Turkey and South Korea. I think Indonesia can make some JV as well with Pakistan like in MLRS system, particularly bigger caliber one 450 mm.

TAI strengthens UAV testing cooperation with BPPT
The collaboration began during the development of ANKA's 2008 unmanned aircraft vehicle (UAV) program

Turkish aerospace company Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) paid a visit to the Agency for the Assessment and Application of Technology (BPPT) in Serpong, South Tangerang on Thursday, to strengthen cooperation.
The visit also marks 10 years of cooperation between companies and institutions of the two countries.
TAI Vice President for Corporate Marketing and Communication Tamer Ozmen told Anadolu Agency that the cooperation between the two parties had been going on since 2008.
"The cooperation began during the development of ANKA's unmanned aircraft vehicle (UAV) program," said Tamer.
At that time, TAI conducted a wind tunnel test of the ANKA UAV at the Indonesian Low Speed Tunnel (ILST) facility belonging to the BPPT's Center for Aerodynamics, Aerospace and Aerospace Technology (BBTA3).
ANKA is an unmanned aircraft (UAV) in the Medium Altitude Long Endurance (MALE) class developed by TAI. This test is to obtain data on the aerodynamic characteristics of the UAV.
Then, Tamer explained the second test that TAI conducted at BBTA3 for other ANKA variants including the SATCOM variant in April to May 2015.
This test is to obtain data regarding the effects of wing deformation, SAR and SATCOM, cameras, winglets, and air inlets on ANKA's aerodynamic characteristics.
Furthermore, in April and June 2015 the third full-scale testing of the wing sections of the latest generation ANKA was carried out. And the fourth test was carried out in October 2017 for all the latest generation ANKA configurations.
"The four wind tunnel tests at ILST have contributed greatly to the development of the ANKA UAV system with superior flight performance and increased safety features," admits Tamer.
Tamer emphasized that the MALE-class ANKA UAV has a combat-tested intelligence, reconnaissance, surveillance and assault system for internal security in Turkey.
"In addition, ANKA has also been tested for surveillance operations used by various end users in Turkey," added Tamer.
Tamer also said that currently ANKA is ready to serve military missions with various payload configurations required by air forces from various countries.
"ANKA already has mature experience and has flown in Turkey and other countries for anti-terrorism activities as well as land and sea surveillance," said Tamer.
Currently, TAI is also collaborating with BBTA3 for the fifth time in testing the payload capacity of the UAV system at ILST to obtain aerodynamic characteristics data for the latest drone aircraft that TAI is developing.
"We really appreciate the contribution of BPPT through BBTA3 for the success of the development of our UAV product line and this is very decisive for maintaining useful collaboration for the years to come," said Tamer.
