PAF at Zuhai Airshow 2016

If these are pics of J-31 underbelly then space problem has been solved ... which would mean either the aircraft dimensions have been revised or it has been done at the expense of internal fuel storage as it is a twin-engine aircraft and not that much internal space to play around with.

By the way why are you showing just the underbelly lets see the plane if possible ... or are these just generic add-ons for export ... do these pics belong to J-31?

fuel space is not taken up....overall jet has been enlarged a bit...

J-20 Pakistan should go for it. J-20 will be much more expensive but at least it would also be offering a lot more than the J-31

Thanks for the advice. I am always chilled. You won't find me misbehaving with anyone because after all we come here for our own respective enthusiasms.

Now as for J-20 being not for export ... that is correct. But J-10A was also not for export back in 2005 in Musharraf era ... but it was on offer to Pakistan ... in fact it was Pakistan which wanted some changes before inducting ... and some of those changes found their way in J-10B. The rest is history.

So, my friend nothing is absolute it all depends on national interest. But it is too early to say let the 2nd J-31 prototype fly and wait for more detailed specs come in limelight.

hmmm...But 5th generation is something different.
It is really sensitive technology.....
but lets see.

Ahhh i guess bro u are not on a regular update...so ok these are the updates on second prototype which make it an awesome machine
○ Length increased by 1 meter
○ internal bay widened to accumulate more weapons
○ wing tips cut
○ tail shape is like j20 now...more opened V shape
○silver stealthy nozzles
○EOTS
○BUBBLE CANOPY

fuel space is not taken up....overall jet has been enlarged a bit

first flight will take place this december finally

Thank you kindly, Sir, for the updates. I hope the change in the dimensions do not add too much on the empty weight of the J-31 ... as it would adversely effect the TWR. Lets hope for the best and first let the 2nd prototype fly and then discuss this further.

Of course it is. Just like J-10 was back in 2005.

hmm lets see what China is going to do with us...BUt it is too early to say something..!!

There is reportedly a super cruise variant of WS-13 engine under development to power j31 by 2019-2020.

the simple thing issss.....Pakistan doesnt need J-20....its too much for our requirements.

 

[WarFariX]

And IMO i think that PAF will play a clever strategy , juat like turkey which opted for a multirole jet as F-35 to replace F-16s and for air superiority it will make TFX , same case would PAF do ...in some years our F-16 aor defence fighters 12 of them will be retired so they will definitely be replaced by j31 plus i guess paf will get some of these as early as possible to cou ter rafale threat....and in the meantime paf will build its own air superiority platform as stated by ACM Sohail Aman
