Turkey, Pakistan, Qatar, and Indonesia forge ‘Badr’ Pact to Jointly Produce Weapons

I think mass production of missiles in Turkiye, Indonesia and Pakistan is vital here. All three also have F-16 replacement issue that KAAN can solve. All 4 countries use Turkish naval ships and present a big market for more. In fact combined defence budgets of all 4 is around $80 Billion. Nothing to be sneezed at....

Turkish tech
Pak manpower
Indonesian industrial base
Qatari cash
 
Pakistan is signing too many pacts nowadays and at the end of day, nothing fruitful will come out of these defence pacts.
MoUs, pacts & ToTs give nothing to Pakistan because we don't have industrial backbone to absorb anything.
A country building 4th gen fighters in some outdated factory says all about its broken approch towards industry.

Mecca Pact is with big responsibilities like sending troops to foreign countries. Doing war for other countries, things that is pretty difficult to get domestic audience backing

While this defense industry pack is something that demand much less than that while the implementation could potentially create tangible outcome like JV factories, Qatar loan backed defense sales

Countries like Indonesia, Turkiye, Pakistan actually dont need foreign troops, its population has capacity to defend themselves

But things like weapons, ammunitions (when the ammunitions factory inside the county get bombed), components supply, financing support to grow defense industry during peacetime, etc are things that are actually needed in full scale war
