To be honest, these CGIs are just statement of intent. PAF is pursuing a 5th gen aircraft program but whatever they are showing is just CGIs. Actually thing may be very different.
The first prototype was expected in 2028. With usual delays and Covid , we wont see any prototype before 2032. So things like these CGIs or statements are good enough.
 
The 5th gen Jet shown looks like J 20, it seems Pakistan is getting J 20 very soon.
 
i think, Pak going for 5th Gen is not for Merely acquiring a next gen

Pak could be thinking of ...
Important is to start getting hands on experience with Next Gens ASAP
i does not matter Whether it is Chinese ones

Later stages we can modify and improve based on our learnings and experiencing

I would Green this approach

This summarizes PAF's modernization shown in the 5-min song... BTW loved that explosion sound edit.


Any indication of how many YLC-8E Anti-Stealth Radar they have purchased ? Would have to be 4-5 to make them viable to give the required coverage ?

They form part of an inteconnected network that will be very effective to neutralise the Rafales alongside the HQ-9Bs and the J10Cs/JF17 Block IIIs.
 
Seems PAF is still open to alternative option other then JV with TFX , like independent Azm design , J20, j31 etc
