I was under the impression that a good chunk of the body was manufactured in Pakistan, including the fuselage and wings.

I guess I'm wrong again.

Its been a while since I read up on drones.

Yeah I don't like being the depressing guy but our people deserve the truth. PAC has a habit of exaggerating their achievements.

As an example, as a student intern I was shown some parts PAC was machining for boeing 777. Many years as a professional that got inside I saw that PAC only made parts for a very short time many many years ago and they've been showing those two pieces to every visitor since. I guess I should've figured that much that two CNCs cannot be supplying Boeing.

Contrast this with TA who makes entire assemblies for a400m and other airbus airliners. I've seen the large large assembly lines needed for a program of this scale.

Regarding Anka: PAC machined one or two bulkhead as a trial for TA to show that they could make them. These bulkheads are sitting in the visitor hall shown to all visitors. I'm reasonably sure no PAC made part is making it's way to Ankas. It makes no economic sense. TA is much more capable of making those bulkheads inside their factory without exporting material to PAC and importing it back.

There is a serious concern here. China produces near 120 J-20 off one manufacturing line. Our JF-17's been produced for over 25 years now and still at 26 jets per year. If we want to truly become an aviation supplier, we must establish fast paced advanced manufacturing so we can deliver export orders on time.

We need to make investments into manufacturing and purchase advance equipment if we want to move into heavy industries and aviation technologies as a senior product line for future sales.
 
YIHA-III, the drone that penetrated deep into Indian airspace to fly over Delhi during Operation Bunyan-un-Marsoos, playing a decisive role in draining the enemy’s air defense systems.

Loitering munition ka kaam hi ye hai ullu ke kaan. Jitni uski endurance hogi utni der urr ke girr jayega obviously. It crashing is a feature, not a fault. It is meant to crash. Also, ye kharida nahi hai indigenously developed hai in a joint venture with a Turkish Arms conglomerate.

this is such poor thinking, i dont think ive seen a worse take re jf-17 prod line
 
from wt i can recall the plan was always to produce 50 ac per year. 25 for PAF and 25 for export. Export didn't happen in the early years, and the production line for export was deactivated sometime down the line/never activated.
