Due to sensitivity of the topic I cannot divulge much except that I know of Pakistani UAV programs which if not superb are much better than these falco UAVs

In my view the reason Pakistan's Armed forces have started joint manufacture is to get more input in technology which will help indigenous UAVs in future

As for China, it is our main weapons supplier & army know that they can get Chinese UAV's or Chinese Tech. that is why they r trying to get tech. from other countries
