To build tanks and other weapons within the country is waste of money. American defense minister said once, we supply weapons quiet often to Pak Army . When we are getting weapons from the U.S. we should not waste money. They develop weapons by doing research and development. We can’t do that much. We should invest on those technology which we are lacking. In my view, its just waste.
