100 of these are already supplied to Pak reported. However, if I am not wrong there was a contract for 60 tanks not 282 as photos of documents posted by
@200_zoka
. So can't understand if it is 60+282 or 60+222.

Those tanks will be very useful for pakistani generals for desert safari or killing innocent Balochs.

And here is PAF AW-139M operating from Skardu. My speculation is that total 18 AW-139M are now fully operational within PAF.

These are Type-59 MBTs. And we keep overhauling them time to time. From Eastern front perspective, these tanks are obsolete. However, for Western front, these tanks are credible assets. Therefore, we will continue to see utility of T59/69 series of tanks in far future.

Pakistan reaches out to China for more fighters and missiles
New Delhi: The arrival of two squadrons of the Rafale fighters will be a game-changer, Pakistan has realised. And in desperation, Pakistan has reached out to China for 30 J-10CE fighters and modern air-to-air missiles for its air force.

Pakistan had asked for the J-10 in 2009. But with the joint production of the JF-17 by China and Pakistan, the J-10 was placed in the backburner. Now, with the Rafales coming, discussions between China and Pakistan have begun again, high-level government sources said. Along with the J-10CE, Pakistan has asked for the PL-10 and PL-15, short-range and long-range air-to-air missiles respectively.

With the United States gradually getting close to India, China has become Pakistan's only supplier of sophisticated weapons. The J-10CE is the export version of the J-10 with the People's Liberation Army Air Force and has the AESA radar, fire-control systems and Infrared technology.

The Pakistan Air Force isn't just worried about the Rafale, which comes with the Meteor air-to-air missile and also, the Mica missile, that can be air-launched. The S-400 air defence system and the MR-SAM or Medium-range surface-to-air missile system will be considerable threats to PAF fighters.

The PAF is dependent on its 124 JF-17 fighters, co-produced with China, it's 70odd F-16s and the Mirage 3A. If, or rather, when the J-10CE arrives with the missiles, it will be another challenge for the IAF.
