IFR on 1035 only?
I wonder if the visit by the Russian air force has anything to do with the export of the AL-31FN engine ?
1. An alternate configuration for the lightweight fighter dated 13 August 1971.
leak photos of j10 B are 1031,1033,1034,1035.

1032 maybe used for static or stress test.
No...
If comes to engine problem. Russia will only talk to Chinese side for re export to Pakistan. Actually, PAF shall go for a heavy weight fighter like Su-35. J-10B is too similar in profile compare to JF-17. Yes, it is more advance and agile but still retain the same short legged air superiority point defense fighter who could not give PAF of another dimension of aerial warfare.
Su-35 will give the heavy load, deep strike capacity that will open another dimension for PAF. It will gives IAF another nightmare.
That's assuming that Pakistan will ever get the Su-35 or even wants to purchase it, let alone afford it, or have the Russians offer it to them.
Russian-Pakistani relations may be warming, but let's be honest, Russia will not do anything to upset India too much and push their main weapons buyer any further to the US and EU powers.
India Russo relationship is already at all time low. The Russian with the take it or leave it attitude for Indian now is well known. The very fact, rafale deal encounter so much difficulties is even pushing Indian depending on Russian arms further. They may end up buying more MKI. Typhoon is not an option since it will have the same problem encountered as rafale.
Russian basically like to do whatever they wants, Russian does not care about India much. Indian arm industries are too dependant on russian. Let me give you one fine example of RD-93 engine re export transfer to PAF. Does it even care about India feeling or interest. Of cos, Russian is smart to play the china card by claiming the customer is China and they are not dealing with Pakistan directly as Russian promise not to sell arms to Pakistan for the sake of India.
It can be done for Su-35 too. 24 Su-35 at a price of $1.5billion is perfect and affordable for PAF who lack a twin engine heavy weight multi role for deep strike capabilities. Russia just need to play dumb and sell it to china and china re export to PAF. Exactly the same thing they did for RD-93 engines.
Su-35 will be a massive asset for PAF strategy against IAF. Which aircraft now is able to strike deep into Indian soil and force many of the doctrine change for IAF? None. Even the F-16 with CFT is not able to be as long leg or heavy load compare to Su-35.Regardless of the fact that I disagree with a lot of what you said, let's tackle the main issue, does Pakistan even want it? $1.5 billion may seem affordable, but the high maintenance and the costs of maintenance of the Su-35 is not something that Pakistan desires. Pakistan has traditionally bought planes that were low maintenance, and cost little to operate. The only exception to that rule is the F-16s and Pakistan only has them so it has a high-tech fighter to counter India's high-tech fighters.

What nonsense, you wasn't able to sell J10As or J11As with Russian engines to Pakistan, but want to divert Su 35s. Why didn't you offered Pakistan KJ 2000, based on the Russian A50?
Russias argumentation with the RD93 was, that it doesn't matter to India, since we get the same basline engine, but in the latest version and that is the usual argumentation for all nations that sells to Pakistan and to India. The US does it, the Europeans does it, the Brazilians does and even China would do it, if we had no common borderline. At the end, they all want to make money and apart from all political relations, that's an important matter too, which is why China has so much economical relations with India, although being Pakistans prime partner today right?
The only twin engine fighter that makes sense for PAF, would be a stealth fighter in future, but today a cost-effective fleet in good numbers are more important.
