Maybe the Government can do what the Chinese did.
Make a massive order for SU-27's, on the proviso that one is sent straight away for the pilots to familarise themselves with.
Next, spend 12 months reverse engineering it, and have local factories make the parts. Except for the engine, which would need to be bought in larger numbers than one (as that couldn't be worked out in time).
The reconstruct it on home soil, calling it a completely unique strike fighter, and give it your own code.
Then cancel the remaining order to the Russians, and start selling the home grown one to Pakistan.
Win win!
/end sarcasm
(although this scenario has actually occurred, and they are trying to repeat with current fighters)
