  • People's Republic of China – HQ-16 (Hongqi-16) - People's Republic of China project based on the naval 9K37M1-2 system 'Shtil' (SA-N-12).[72] Other sources also rumored the project involved some Buk technology. It is able to engage high altitude and very low flying targets.[73] The most visual distinction between SA-17 and HQ-16 is that the latter is truck-based and vertically launched instead of track based SA-17, its total number of missiles increased to six from the original four in SA-17 system.

      People's Republic of China – HQ-16A – Improvement of the HQ-16, with redesigned control surfaces incorporating leading edge, thus has better performance at higher angle of attack than HQ-16.

There have been rumours of low numbers of Hq-9 already with Pakistan. But then again they're just rumours. However you cannot rule them out. No one knew about the FM-90 until the Military Parade.
We have long range SAMs since long time.
 
. . . . .
The amount of billions the Chinese are pouring into defence, their products will be if high quality very quickly, its time to create our own SAM system
 
.
Negotiations are on for HQ-9 long-range SAM.. Russian options also available..
Which Russian high altitude airdefence under consideration

Is Pakistan also interested buying PANTSIR S 2 AIRDEFENCE too

We need good layers of airdefence systems
