1) Increase the number of JF-17 blk 3 with Selex AESA radar & avionics.
2) Put some token money in J-31 or TFX program for early development. Meanwhile work on JF-17 stealth version should be initiated.

Either J-31 or any other twin engine aircraft, main problem will be the non availability of a reliable FADEC engine with 9300+kgf thrust, supercruise & MBTO OF 4000+ hours.
PAF needs more 4+ generation aircrafts against the indian's 350+ aircrafts of 4th generation aircrafts. Upgrading F-7pg will still keep it in the 3rd generation. So it seems useless for F-7's & F-7pg's. However upgradation of two seater FT-7pg's seems appropriate, if used for training purpose.
Any confirmation for this news....

In post Rafale procurement scenario by India, Pakistan should also look for J-10 C with AL-41F1S engines.
