I'm guessing it's likely J-10Cs on order. Remaining 16-20 aircraft. Though the 90 number is interesting. Who else has ordered fighters from china @Deino @Michael

Could be counting JF-17C sales as under China?

I think so as well. I think the order books here can be spread between J-10 and JF-17.

There is no confirmed information at present.

SIPRI frequently uses online misinformation and contains numerous errors in its data regarding China's military affairs.

Now. When compiling and analyzing international military trade data, the JF-17 series fighter jets are all included in Pakistan's data.

I don't think so. They don’t take PAF instructors on fighters. It would be a trainer like Hawk or PC-21.

Yes, Qataris did take PAF as instructors on fighters I think. I know one personally and I think even Kaiser Tufail was on the F-1 Mirage for them

PC-21s. They only took PAF IPs for Mirage F1s briefly. But the man giving him the certificate in the picture is ex-PAF, with a Qatari military rank, flew Alphajets and Mirage 2000s for Qatar. Got famous for tipping over a PAF F-16 during a scramble demonstration
