Pakistan[edit]
In February 2006, then-President of Pakistan Pervez Musharraf, toured the J-10 and JF-17 production facilities on a trip to China during which thePakistan Air Force (PAF) was offered the J-10,[24][25] and the purchase of 36 FC-20s, a Pakistan-specific J-10B variant, was approved in April 2006.[25] In November 2009, Pakistan signed a deal with China to buy 36 J-10B fighters in a deal worth around $1.4 billion.[26][27]

In July 2011, Daily Jang reported that China will give a squadron of the advanced J-10B fighter aircraft to Pakistan. According to the report,"the offer was made by senior Chinese military leaders to visiting Pakistan Army's Chief of General Staff, Lt Gen Waheed Arshad".[28][29] In March 2012, talks were held between the two countries to discuss the delivery of latest J-10B fighter jets to Pakistan.[30]

Old news.....in any case don't see this happening in the near future because J-10's were apparently dropped in favor of fifth generation tech
