Hope to see Pakistan as partners in development of future generations Chinese military planes !
 
More likely they have inspected J-20
J-20 is not for export babaaa...even if u think that pak may ask then let me make it clear , j20 has no use in paf...its toooooo much for our requiremtns....plus j20 is nowhere near shenyang...its a chengdu built jet...shenyang is responsible for fc31 development :-)
 
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?

J-31 V2.0 prototype underbelly:

Look SUKHOI has failed yet to made a stealthy airframe of PAK FA:
We were discussing in the thread yesterday night 'm providing you the source have a look at that.

J-31 is a potent aircraft and some of the modifications have made in the 2nd or 3rd prototype such as increase in length more weapon payload and tail like J-20.

For American Jets to bhai ma ye hi kahon ga in se hamara paala nahi prna kbhi b.

Airshow China 2016: AVIC showcases YINGS III airborne targeting pod family
Kelvin Wong, Zhuhai, China - IHS Jane's International Defence Review
04 November 2016
Chinese defence prime Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC) is showcasing its latest YINGS III range of day and night capable airborne targeting pods at the Airshow China 2016 exhibition, which is being held in the southern city of Zhuhai from 1-6 November.

The YINGS III - which stands for Ying Sun III (Hawk III) - targeting pods are developed and manufactured by the company's Luoyang Electro-Optical Equipment Research Institute located in the central province of Henan, with the product portfolio presently comprising three variants with diameters of 330 mm (Model 330), 360 mm (Model 360), and 390 mm (Model 390).

According to AVIC, the YINGS III family adopts a modular architecture to enable the pods to be customised to suit a particular customer's mission requirements, although it can be fitted to most combat aircraft, bomber, and training platforms. A laser rangefinder/designator is a standard feature across all models and configurations, although the pods can be delivered with a high definition daylight CCD TV camera, a infrared (IR) sensor, or a combination of both.

"The YINGS III is a fully indigenous design and we are continually updating the family with our latest technologies," Zhao Jiuming, senior business manager and head of the institute's co-operation section, told IHS Jane's. "For example, the Model 330 shown for the first time here is designed for the latest generation of attack or multirole aircraft."

The latest entry to the YINGS III family is the Model 330, which weighs 230 kg and appears to draw heavily from Lockheed Martin AN/AAQ-33 Sniper advanced targeting pod (ATP) with its swept/faceted transparent sapphire fixed-shroud nose configuration and lightweight, aerodynamic structure which is designed to improve stability at high speed flight.

AVIC states that the Model 330 provides a medium/narrow range field of view (FoV) of 3.6° x 2.7° and 1.2° x 0.9° respectively for the CCD TV camera while the IR sensor offers a FoV of 3.6° x 2.7° and 1.2° x 0.9°.
