NASTP has defined the future upgrade path for the JF-17.
We will be getting the JF-17 OCU (after block 3) (presumably block 4) which is currently under the project designation PFX ALPHA. While this aircraft wont be 5th generation, it will stand to match the best jet fighters in the 4.5+ generation such as the Rafale, Eurofighter and Su-57. source
The second aircraft will be the previously known JF-17 PFX, also known to be under Project AZM. Now it has been redesignated under the project designation PFX LETHAL. Unusually for the PAF, they seem to have gone back to the choice of a twin-engine design. @Miraz05 you mightve been onto something back then when u showed me that twin engine jeff doc.
PFX Lethal will have an internal weapons bay, RAM coatings, stealth and high endurance coupled with TVC for Lethality in all aspects of Air combat.
Im yet not sure about what will happen about the J-31 deal between Pakistan and China, however, it is true that PAC and PAF have not given up on domestic efforts. And i for one am all for it!

The Su-57 is a fifth-generation Heavy class fighter (J-20/F-22) with the largest internal armament compartments to date, with supersonic cruise flight mode…
Do not repeat the advertising nonsense, the Swedes have already declared Gripen the Su-35S killer, more recently the South Koreans have followed this path, declaring their KF-21 also the Su-35S killer…
1.By the way, the KF-21 program, in particular, further development in the form of the KF-21EX, looks more promising than new variants of the JF-17…
2.Besides It’s not clear what you’re comparing-so far, the paper draft of the new JF-17 variants is conditional on the Su-57 or the Experimental T-50…
3. Let me remind you that since the end of 2024, only two variants of the Su-57M and Su-57E have been in serial production…
4. Only three aircraft in the world today have the most advanced data exchange and transmission system (Su-57/ Su-57M/F-35 and J-20)…
A similar system is being designed for the Rafale F5 of the UAE Air Force with the money of the UAE government (it is very expensive) with the introduction in 2028-2030…

Nah dont get me wrong.
Anything can kill anything else.
I dont lean towards either the west nor east in terms of aircraft.

I was just trying to explain to you that so far these are just promising projects with many unknown quantities, for example, engines /network capabilities of integrated radars /computer technologies of virtual reality and Artificial Intelligence / access to which technologies China will allow (for example, Lockheed sold patents for 31 positions for the KF-21) and so on…
Competitors are not standing still and are also developing…
If they want to make a twin-engine version, wouldn’t it be easier to focus on joint production of the J-35A!?

I wont claim to know the inner workings of PAC or PAF, but they have put an order down for a few J-35s and the PFX program seems to be in complement of that order
So far, this does not look logical, unless it is planned to replace all Mirage-3/5 and all F-7 with JF-17…
Personally, I thought they would change to J-10!
Is there any information on how many J-10s have been ordered?
Yes, that is exactly the plan.
They have ordered a bunch for point defence (mainly frontline like Mig-29), but it won’t be the PAFs flagbearer.
So far, it’s ~25
As you can see, this is hardly enough for a permanent solution.
