"Qatari personnel will be trained at Base Aérienne 118 Mont-de-Marsan in southwestern France, Rochefort, and the Joint Intelligence Training Institute in Strasbourg. The first batch of pilots trained for Qatar in November 2017 were Pakistani exchange officers. Escadron de Chasse 04.030 was established at Mont-de-Marsan as the Qatar Rafale Squadron on Oct. 1, 2017. The Amir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al Thani, visited the Qatari Rafale Squadron at Mont-de-Marsan on July 6, 2018, accompanied by French defense minister Florence Parly."

In light of this, it would be great if the efforts of that collaboration could be funded with some Qatari money.

Imagine the Conversation...

Gen. Hasan Kucukakyuz: "Well, What are you most interested in? We have Anatolian Phoenix. The T-X Jet Trainer and the TF-X programmes in the pipeline.... So again, what are you most interested?"

ACM Mujahid Anwar Khan: "All the above."

Gen. Hasan Kucukakyuz: :what: …………..… [a couple of seconds later] - :-) "Bismillah".

Multilateral collaboration on gas turbines/engines, electronics, and munitions would be nice. Of the three, I'd say you couldn't come up with better alignment in needs, but the question of means is a problem.

Ironically, had Pak settled the gas turbine issue 3 decades ago (as you had said), its economic and fiscal woes might not be this bad (or I daresay, may have been good). Ditto can be said for semi-conductors, composites, forging various grades of steel, etc.

Yes the problem is turkey does'nt have a gas-turbine program. I have been to their 'facilities'. So turbines are out w/o the Rus.
Probably we can work with them on Extendable flight control systems, high-end sensors & embedded systems.
