Another angle of this defence alignment is that the Israelis are
very much against it; Saudi less dependent on the US, Saudis less likely to recognize Israel, more likely for Pakistan to be able to extend its nuclear umbrella if need be, and most of all more likely for stability in the region. According to the following IDF aligned video, Israel needs instability (groups fight groups in the region):
The anti-Türkiye angle is also most visible from this video; Israel’s next perceived threat after Iran, with Pakistan a third after it.
For the Saudi-Pak alliance, stabilizing and turning Sudan and Libya onto its side fully, as well as unify Somalia would go a long way to close off areas that are destabilized and could be used against the countries allied with Saudi and Pakistan.
Saudis ejecting UAE from Yemen was a good opening move, and now Saudis are working with Sudan to buy their gold.
IMHO, I hope this is an opening move to defeated the RSF on the ground and from the air, and reunify Sudan, especially if the Egyptians are on board to get it done. Having the JF-17 participating in this conflict, to end the genocide in western Sudan would go a long way to the JF-17 being seen in a positive light, especially if its landing gear can be modified to:
1. Operate on less than ideal runways
2. Carry larger ordnance under its wings and fuselage.
Sudan is a large country, but not so large, and probably the best place for the JF-17 to show its Air to ground capabilities. Helping to open up for countries to seek to operate it, as part of the alignment with Saudi and Pakistan, and possibly creating a stabilizing framework for partner nations in Africa; military, political and economic.
