Can Pakistan Copy / Reverse the Technology of the Indian Missile Brahmos ?

In 2020 former Prime minister Nawaz Sharif of Pakistan admitted having stolen a US Tomahawk cruise missile reverse engineered it and made their cruise missile. A US Tomahawk cruise missile was fired towards Afghanistan but the missile had landed in Baluchistan and Islamabad used it to create its barber missile on 9th march. Now India has accidentally fired whether it is accidentally or not but an Indian Brahmos Missile which fell 124 kilometers inside Pakistan (District Mian Channu), this has raised a discussion if Pakistan with the help of china can reverse engineer the Brahmos missile from what is left in the late 90s several Tomahawk missiles landed in Pakistan territory during operation infinite reach Pakistani press also claimed that a missile had landed in Balochistan's Karan desert. Russian intelligence had also reported having intercepted Al-Qaeda communications indicating that china sent officials to examine and buy some of the unexplored missiles Pakistani missile scientists with the help of china had studied the recovered Tomahawks computer GPS and Propulsion system and allegedly used these components to design its version of a cruise missile, Now an important point to note here is that the missiles reverse-engineered by Pakistan were almost intact however missile fired accidentally by India is unleashed with Brahmos if you look at the footage of the missile it's completely burnt out looking at the amount of destruction caused by missile around the area it would be foolish to expect seeker GPS propulsion system onboard computer and control system to be intact the visual part is the solid booster and some structure solid booster is not that critical technology and the structured details of Brahmos are already available in the public domain it's not possible to develop Brahmos missile just with this information back in October 2018, an engineer from Brahmos aerospace private limited was arrested, he was heading the hydraulics and pneumatics and warhead integration wing of from host production department he is suspected to have passed on technical secrets related to missile technology to Pakistan and US agency. He would have passed much more valuable information than what Pakistan can extract from the leftover of a completely exploded supersonic missile it has been almost three years however neither Pakistan nor us was able to develop any supersonic road missile-like Brahmos, but then the question is what makes Brahmos so difficult to develop, it is a seeker and liquid ramjet engine these are the most difficult part of missile to master in fact from most aerospace had to spend several years and many testing before developing their indigenous seeker and booster to replace Russian component China is also supplying many missiles including its PL-15e air-to-air missile to Pakistan air force if the reverse engineering of missiles would have been that easy then Pakistan would have developed many missiles indigenously like Baber Missile.
