Pakistan needs to spend more on the JF-17 PFX project and insists on integrating advanced technologies into it even if the WS-19 engine is available or funding the development of the Russian RD-93 engine to have higher capabilities. The Russians already have the technologies to develop an engine based on the new AL-51F-1 engine technologies.
Money is the master of the situation here. Pakistan must enter into a comprehensive deal with China to purchase a number of FC-31 aircraft and even a new batch of J-10 aircraft in exchange for the technologies for the new project. China will not be afraid of Pakistani competition. Simply put, China itself can improve the performance of even the J-10 fighter to market it to many countries. There are requests for an aircraft that competes with the EUROFIGHTER TYPHOON TRNCH 4 and RAFALE F5. China, with improvements to the structure and materials made from it and more investment in its radar, will provide an aircraft that competes with European fighters. 4++ fighters will continue to be in demand, and the unreliability of fifth-generation fighters and their high cost will make there a continuous demand for 4++ fighters for a full 10 years.

Pakistan has not been able to market well internationally For the JF-17 fighter simply because its specifications were not good enough to attract attention to it. In fact, Sweden itself is still selling its JAS-39E/F fighters simply because it is a good light aircraft and it has been well received. Technology is no longer the preserve of Europe. Even Pakistan can cooperate with Turkey in the event that China refuses to supply advanced technology to integrate it into the JF-17 PFX aircraft, and even open channels of communication with South Korea to obtain technology. The Koreans want money the most.

Countries get what they want by creating competition between suppliers. As long as you pay the money, you will get what you want and what you don’t expect. It also depends on management, not what others allow you to do. Others want you to be their client and under their control, not a competitor to them, or to take what you deserve or achieve comfort from your product. Rather, they make it almost impossible to maintain their profits, which depend on your weakness.
