for next 5 years i don't find any 5th Generation project for Pakistan and if our economy is dramatically improved and we have some good budget for our defence and all our political crisis are decreased to minimum
than may be after 2013 we can talk about any Fifth Generation joint Venture with China or join them in JXX or a completely new Fifth Generation project.... and before almost 150 JF-17s are there in our inventory i don't find PAF being involved in any other project however we can initiate with some things like Joint Ventures for Avionics, Radars or any other part of the aircraft that may help us build Fifth Generation Aircraft
JF-17 was completely a different story where i believe 20% of the work had already been done when Pakistan joined them in the project and China had acquired technology through various resources to make this Aircraft dream come true and they had indeginous 3rd Generation aircrafts like F-7 and other "J" Series aircrafts
but for fifth generation i believe they will have to start from Step one again and first acquire some stealth technology in different sections of the aircraft and when they have like 20-30% of the aircraft technology ready then only Pakistan can jump in and start learning from the R&D Projects held by China
so i believe only 5th Generation project is possible after 2015 or some possible collaboration between both countries may start after 2013/14
PAF already has several projects with them in first we need to complete them before we can go for another major project
by 2015 PAF will have completed
150 JF-17s
36 J10A/B
AWACS
and some other projects that involves China
so after that we will focus on future which will mean either 4.5 or a Fifth Generation Aircraft with the complete transfer of Technology
Other countries that have been busy in making a fifth generation aircraft has invested around 30 billion in their projects and if Pakistan has to join such project it will not be possible for us to invest even 5 billion dollars
so it's better we wait until we can even hope for such a project
