What's new

PAF has requested for an increase of 1.5 billion dollar in the budget.

. . . . .
That doesn't reflect in budget? How?

historically Pakistan has procured military equipment via FMS grants / aid from the US and soft loans from China. as an example the entire F16 program worth billions of $s was purchased through sovereign funding and was not reflected in the defense budget which is mainly for operations and salaries. even the pensions come from a different govt. source.
the defense budget pie breaks down into army 45%, airforce35% and balance for the navy20% out of say 7B$ doesn't leave much for major capital investments. the recently concluded submarine deal from china will cost roughly 5B$ on a soft loan provided by china to be paid off by govt. funds not the defense budget. maybe there are some internal adjustments made but I am not aware of any.

But design is a Russian intellectual property, China can't sell J-16 without Russian permission

Even the engines on the JF17 are intellectual property for Russia. In the initial phases when the FC-1 was being tested, Russia, on request of India, had raised a concern with China regarding giving out their tech to Pakistan. China found a way out without compromising the project.

The focus is being split on a buy of ancillary equipment and air defenses

No new aircraft as such
Although there are possibilities of either further second hand F-16s or a Chinese type but the PAF is wary of loans

Russia allowed re-export to 3rd countries by china. now Pakistan is buying directly from Russia.

J-16 is illegal copy of Su-30MKK, one original clause in Su-30MKK said that " China can't sell it or its copy to third party without Russian permission" bro
