Seems Grumman started the idea of the double delta on the F-7, if the old concept paper drawings are to be believed.

New PAF fighter jet unveiling on 29th of this month.
PAF said in a programme regarding negotiations with Russia on Su-35 but J-10b was also kept in view.
Do you think so PAF can buy a fleet with its limited budget ?

JF 17 blk 3 nothing else

Brother, Jf-17 is not a "new fighter aircraft"
Also,work on Jf-17 blk3 is going to start in 2019.

it is written in the details of event that new fighter aircraft induction and challenges of handling it.

Remember the order of J10 to china from PAF in 2008 or later. The fleet hasn't been delivered to PAF since.
There was a cancellation but might be J10b's were ordered instead in 2015.

bro yes its not new jet but i am telling you, its heavily upgraded jet and work started on Blk-3 was in 2014-15 at least just like F-16 versions and as for J-10 ZARDARI eats J-10 procurement funds that's why we don't purchase it @M16174

These are topics, suggested for the speakers to discuss points and does not disclose any induction/unveiling of New Fighter Jet. This is not an announcement of induction of fighter jet on 29th.

Actually mushy cancelled the J10 procurement

How long before would the PAF consider replacing the K-8 Karakorum Trainer?

T-50: would never be in conversation as it has a Lockheed Martin label on it.

YAK-130: though a sweet Trainer/Light Attack jet. But i'm not sure if we'd get the support from the Russians, considering they have strong relations with our neighbors.

L-15: now THAT would be ideal as it can also carry upto 3 tons of armament. We could produce those just as we did the K-8.

Friend, K8 needs to be re-worked into K-8NG or someother designation; no need to replace; it is a good overall frame for what it is capable; the challenge is the laid back attitude for not doing anything in terms of next cycle improvements.
