no chance for J11B as I said earlier that acquiring F16s and FC20s are PAF's main concern. may be we consider J11B after 2012

J11B can not be bought by Pakistan even if we want to. The reason being that it is a copy of the Russian SU-27 and the Russians will never allow sale of J11B to Pakistan due to Indian pressure. However, if the Indians opt to buy the F-16's or the F18's..that might upset the Russians and they might allow the sale of J11B's. so to cut it short the Chinese don't have the licence to sell the aircraft to pakistan.

i think this link shall help put the debate of J-11 export possibilites...as i sad earlier it is a copy of the sukhoi.
Sukhoi piracy: Russia warns to sue China
as thislink says russiawants to SUE CHINA for copying its aircraft. so it will never allow export due to indian pressure.

PAF has its hand full with the production and induction of JF-17s. Not to mention the delivery and induction of FC-20. A fighter like J-11B might be a possibility in the future. PAF would do wise if it went for the J-XX instead of the J-11B.

The Pakistan army has finalised an order from Germany for the EMT LUNA short-range battlefield reconnaissance, surveillance and target acquisition UAV, according to the Jane's Defence Weekly.
Three or four systems are likely to be obtained in total, it said adding that details were not yet known.
Pakistan Air force is acquiring from Italy the Galileo Falco medium-altitude endurance tactical UAV, with delivery due in December. Four systems are involved in the deal at an unknown cost, the report said.
These systems are intended to enhance monitoring of border areas, with the movement of armed groups across frontiers with Afghanistan and Jammu and Kashmir causing particular concern.
The UAVs may also be used in Pakistan's campaign against militants operating in its tribal areas: the mountainous region adjacent to Afghanistan where over 80,000 troops are currently deployed.
The European system appears to offer an alternative to the US systems originally envisaged.
Pakistan sought to buy the RQ-1A Predator or other UAVs from the US in 2002 but the recent selection of European UAVs suggests that the US is as yet unwilling to provide the required export licences.
