I just read somewhere that Pakistan's Navy is apparently inducting a custom-made MPA/ASW jet-based aircraft based on the Embraer 1000E lineage with equipment from Italy/United States and modifications in South Africa. Makes me wonder why China can't also pull something like this off, could probably build an even better MPA aircraft by procuring some ~50ish airliners that no one wants anymore. China won't even need to source a single part from anywhere else too.
