SAC - FC-31 Grey Falcon Stealth aircraft for PAF : Updates & Debate

[LKJ86]

Just look at it. Wow. Always loved the design in fact more than J-20 for one it closely resembles to raptor.

It is just a technology demonstrator...
You should wait for the prototypes of J-35.

ShitAF aka IAF will literally pee in their pants if they see F16s along with this coming for the engagement lol

Let's hope Chinese industry comes up with better stealth coating and electro optics or at least at par that is on F35.

When in 2021 do you think we might get photos of the prototype?

This aircraft is not new, it is only that we became aware quite late that the one we always called FC-31V2 is in fact the third airframe. The second in fact never flew.

J31 looks amazing. Hope chinese military decides to buy this so the project is worked on at full swing. By 2030 we should have a lethal J31/J35 ready to induct

Pakistan will not buy this bird as project azm is our goal. Jf17 blk 3 will fill the gap

The problem is project AZM is still a very long ways off from being operational ... the JF-17 Block III is a very good 4.5 generation fighter but compared to a 5th generation fighter like the FC-31, it is not enough. A FC-31 or J-35 purchase would allow the PAF to achieve 5th generation capability all the way till AZM goes into service. There is only so much the PAF can squeeze out of a 4th generation design.

نہیں لیتے تو نہ لیں ایف سی ۳۱ لیکن ان جے ایف ۱۷ کے ائر انٹیکس کو تو ونگز کے اوپر یا ونگز کے نیچے کر دیں تاکہ جہاز کچھ خوبصورت تو لگے

Oh man ... give at least a translated summary!

Translation:
If they dont want FC-31, fine. But at least redesign the intakes of JF-17 above or below the wings so that it looks aestheticaly better.
