LM doesn't offer anything without the approval of US Gov,, which is very unlikely to sell the top techs to Pakistan fearing Chinese
Let China field J-20 then US will not have issues in selling few squadrons of F-35s like they sell F-16s in 80s, if US want to keep influence on Pakistan they have to provide some things which Pakistan feel good against their enemy else they will loose influence.
I don't think F-35 fits PAF's requirement of 5th gen frontline fighter, although its very advance plane but still its short legged in many areas for PAF because they cannot field it in good numbers like NATO countries.
Sanctions free 5th gen which fulfilled all PAF operational requirements should be perused western or eastern.
