There are reports of Pakistan & Russia discussing arms purchase for PAF, possibly latest flankers. If these reports have substance then Pakistan is not a likely customer for J-11.
Yes I have read something on similar lines. Primarily, Pakistan Air Force is very much interested in the Su-35s. There have been talks with Russia, but at this point in time, it's a waiting game. As for the J-11s, I believe that Pakistan and China (Govt to Govt) have a greater understanding of what constitutes if "licensed production aircraft." I wouldn't be so quick to be so dismissive about things, especially when it comes Sino-Pak relations. It is after all, one of the strongest alliances in recorded history. We have had past instances where Pakistan had the opportunity to procure J-10s, however the government was wise enough back then (Musharraf era) to leave it to Pakistan Air Force to decide which course it would take in terms of acquisitions. At this point in time, where the JF-17 Thunder program is in full swing and one after another squadrons are equipping with new aircraft. It is more than likely, that Pakistan Air Force is poised to pursue it's "high-end" fighter. Earmarked for the next 5 year armament plan. Whichever the case, both Su-35s and J-10s are strong candidates for Pakistan Air Force. And yes, I know how people tend to fall back on the "india" card which it comes to Moscow-Islamabad relations. To be blunt, Moscow is far more interested in piling up orders from Algeria, Emirates, Pakistan, Malaysia and Indonesia. Than to sit there and lament about what if!! They haven't got no time for that sort of thing.
