I think prime focus is on constant manufacturing of JF-17 as pointed out by Safriz, with upgradation and getting J-10B which will be huge boost.

F-60/J-21 is most probably on discussion table and I think its commercial production will start near 2020. So Pakistan can expect it to induct them by 2022.

Hope any aviation expert can clear the possible future induction.
 
finances I think

we already got JF-17 and J-10 going for a third one might not leave much resources to spare.
and also think what role will it play?

JF-17 being the backbone replacing mirages , A5s and F7PGs jack of all trade, air strike, CAP etc.
J-10 together with F-16 .. yet again... Multirole .. intercept, SEAD, escort, CAP and strike roles beyond JF-17s limits.

that pretty much fills everything/.. what is J-61/ F60 going to be? air superiority? replacement of JF-17 and J-10s?
first one is just starting induction, second one is still on paper in terms of what PAF wants.

F-60 or J21 might be something in the far far future. if I am not mistaken JF-17 and J-10s wont mature in our life time.

do correct me if its absurd what I say
It's the need and the cababilty of the opponent that matter not what u have or planning to have within five years from now India will possess the fifth gen fighter from Russia and the local one in that time you'll be starving to get a fifth gen fighter to stand against the Indian total superiority.
 
I do not think there is going to be j-21, as the new stealth prototype j-31 (the 'bastard') shows we have two 5th gen (j-20 and this one) in development, no such country can financially afford so many 5th gen fighters... Besides SAC made it very clear that j-31 project was not funded by the state, so the possibility of getting inducted to PLAAF was very thin, and their bet was on international market and PLAN....it's risky, but if it succeeded Pakistan will be on the VIP list..

So Id reckon the title should be changed to J-31 of paf

money is the issue for us ,
no money , no honey ..............
so this aircraft is only a dream for us at the moment ..
 
We mount WS10A on twin engine fighters like j16 and j11b, test on J10b was completed successfully as well. The production volume is low, hope it will get fast. The PLAAF requirement for WS10A is mammoth, Pakistan may have to wait for a while .

It is still a protoype in nascent stages. There is no need for getting too excited at this stage. If there is a need and the program is industrially mature enough, then it would make sense to look into it.

hope fully, just a while but not long!
go ahead china our wishes are with you!
 
nothing about the maiden test flight of j31 for 10 mins here???
 
Why did Chinese want to develop stealth aircraft? If only to protect themselves, then attack aircraft is absolutely no need to research and development. Asian countries must be highly vigilant, Chinese ambitions in the ever-expanding, must be wary of military aggression. Even if Pakistan and Chinese are friends, but it should also dike Chinese more territorial claims. Chinese army is infiltrated Kashmir, they will be hanging around and not ready to leave. Chinese are a cancer in Asia, the long-term potential threat is your real enemy, absolutely do not believe that your enemy. But you can take full advantage of them in the short term, require more assistance, more money and weapons.
