dude i gave a rational reason but you couldnt fathom it and started this nationalistic bs.
India already has its helicopter program and it is also exporting it.

the reason i said it is not feasible is because it takes lots and lots of money to build just a flying prototype. more money than you get from kerry lugar in a year. and for a country who never had a indigenous aircraft programmme it is next to impossible to match americans in terms of technology. and if you dont export it then you will have to have a huge domestic market to make it worthy and to being cost down.

and there is technical expect too, where are you going to find people who can build it. it takes huge solid institutions with international reputation to produce good avaiation engineers. your industrial growth in other fields contribute in to making one war machine

so it is better to get it off the shelf and transfer of technology if possible.

regarding your hint about reverse engineering. that is not as easy as making a shirt from a sample. if reverse engineering was that easy then you would have had tons of local car brands of your own.
and even then you will be making a old copy whenever u are able to produce it. what about modifications with time, what about newer versions. there are many many issues with it.
even a relatively more developed country like china finds it challanging to reverse engineer american outdated planes. and pakistan is no china.

Excellent point you have raised here. magar “deewaron se baaten karna achha lagta hay”
