The government has allocated a fund of 700 million dollars for making one PKR. Gunadi confirmed that it is impossible to build all war equiptments in the country. Technological constraints to be one great obstacle to the State Owned Companies to produce high-tech equipment. However, he insisted that the government will try as much as possible to utilize domestic capabilities. "We'll produce as much as possible with domestic capabilities, but we can't entirely depend on domestic products". For example, if we only needed two squadrons of hi-tech jet fighters, it is impossible to make it own our own, we have to cooperate with other countries. But, we'll make sure the domestic industry will get the offset work, that what we call ToT (Transfer of technology), "he said.
