PAC might be discussing producing engines like for JF-17s and may be a deal for K-8 Engines.

This [information] has emerged at the instigation of the Pakistanis and is not true
I've said it before and I'll say it again, the PAF checked the aircraft to see if it would suit our requirements and it didn't. The fact remains that Russia did offer it but unlike india, we don't just blindly buy anything that is offered to us. We have stringent requirements that include transfer of technology, support infrastructure, ease of maintenence and most of all, combat reliability where the aircraft is hard to detect, extremely nimble and can take off and land on small airfields. I told you folks a while back that the su 35 is an aircraft far too big and far to complex to meet these requirements. The amount of fuel alone that it needs can keep three JF17s in the air. Nothing against the aircraft, it is well suited for a country the size of Russia that spans over two continents where there is a need to able to fly from one end to another quickly and without refueling and be able to operate under sub zero temperatures. Our requirements are just vastly different.
Sir but as @GumNaam pointed it doesn't suits Pakistani requirements.China may be able to provide Pakistan with su35,China had just wanted to buy 4, but Russia does not agree, and later negotiated we decided to buy 24
