Both the Type 85 and T-80UD have undergone extensive upgrades by Heavy Industries Taxila, the specifications of them however are unknown other than the replacement of Chinese and Ukrainian tank guns by the domestic 125mm HIT Tank Gun and possible engine upgrades ranging from 520 to 1200 horse power.
If this is true then I think BMTF will locally assemble these since. Tulpar with 120mm gun(hitfact or cockerill turret) will be a nice addition, 105mm one doesnt offer much over the VT-5.
edit: I checked the source of this news and the source is a indian news paper. I dont think this is true at all.
BAF seems to be interested in JF-17. We may or may not buy it but some sort of collaboration is expected. Maybe a license of JF-17 production.

5th gen for Pakistan has been confirmed but we don’t know which one truly.
KAAN may prove to be a great learning experience for PAC and that may be used in the JF-17 PFX
