Pakistan Needs J-20 If It Wants To Stand A Chance

This puts the chinease at a serious disadvantage over both the F22 raptor & PAK FA fighters as they both enjoy 3D TVC and cruise capable engines.
F-22 has 2D TVC and you forget WS-15 and WS-13E turbofan jet engines
 
There is very little; knowledge of the J31 programme relative to the J20 fighter programme which is at least 5 years ahead in development stage.

At this stage there are rumoured to be 8- or 10 J20 in service in prototype stage

versis

just 2 J31 prototypes

in addition the J20 has 5 years more of flight hours in testing experience , it is considred the premier project for PLAAF

The J31 will be budget version of chinas fifth generation project

The engines of both fighters are Russian origin ( Saturn engines of su27) and lack both TVC and cruise capability.

This puts the chinease at a serious disadvantage over both the F22 raptor & PAK FA fighters as they both enjoy 3D TVC and cruise capable engines.
For a very short period of time..
 
If you can read Chinese, you'll understand what the Chinese AF official said better. Yes, you can interpret it as "China won't sell J-20", but the exact words were actually "As for now, temporarily, we don't have the export plan yet". Plus, unlike F-22, J-20 is not forbade to export by law, just by policy. I think if PAF want J-20, instead of the PLA version or alpha version, they will go for some kind of variation with fully powered WS-15 engine and introduced the jet around 2023~2025.
 
According to pakistan PDF member, pakistan are flirting with F35 and TFX

it's got some stealth characteristics, but not full stealth no. the JH-7B can fly nap of the earth like the F-15E, but it'll probably need something like LANTIRN to do this effectually.

NOE of the earth flying by jets?
Jet use terrain radar for terrain hugging. That's low flying not NOE. Only helicopters use this term
 
The Chinease have made great strides in military power .

This has saved Pakistani arses.

Without China relative low cost fighter options be it the thunder or f7 Pakistan airfirce would have struggled to raise even ten squadrons .

As it is a mix of chineasse fighters used French fighters and new and used fskcons you guys can field relative large nos.

China I's the only option for Pakistan air power going forward due to their generous payment options and strong strategic alliance with you..

Be it j10/j31/j20 .

You will.not be buying any Russian su35 or typhoons or f35 because the cost and financial arrangements won't suit you.

I expect to see a 80% chinrase fleet in Pakistan by 2025
