Pakistan's 5th Gen Jet Fighter confirmed

As India has confirmed the deal of T-50 (Russian 5th Gen) with  Russians. There were so many questions that Pakistan is going counter India in near Future as the T-50s will be delivered to India in the end of this Decade. Pakistan has no chance of buying T-50 due to close friendship of Russia and  India. Pakistan can not even have  chance of F-22 Raptor or F-35 Lightning as they are expensive and Pakistan for sure does not have good relations with USA.
The only option remains for Pakistan is J-20 Chinese 5th Gen Air Craft which is twin engine Jet Fighter. Pakistan probably didn't have twin engine Air Crafts in the History. Pakistan has confirmed the buying of J-20 Air Craft to induct in Pakistan's near future. Now the Question rises If the Source is Valid or not. Just have a look at the following Paragraph
Mr. Gillani the Prime Minister of Pakistan met Wen Jiabao and the folllowing details were discussed in details, there was no discussion about J-10B but J-20s. Pakistan can not have these Jet Fighters untill 2020 because they are still under development. Pakistan and third World Countries demand for J-2X. It is about the size of F-35 Lightning and the design has been already presented to Pakistan.

In 1995  Ukraine decided to export T-80UD to Pakistan. Pakistan tested the tank and decided to buy 320 T-80UD from Ukraine for $650 million. But all of them were not delivered to Pakistan, as Russia was the owner of Its very first Units Produced, Russia apposed Ukraine, as Russia is an Ally of India.  An amount of 285 is said that was delivered to Pakistan in real sense.
