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

[Fawadqasim1]

An Chinese military insider had disclosed today that FC31 had been chosen as new generation of carrier fighter. It means China and Pakistan will both induct FC31. Finally!

Pakistan still need j16s.

China will develop a naval version of the FC-31 then..

Pakistan still need j16s.

Why J-16.. it is a "bomb truck"

Did you mean J-11 multirole fighter for the PN

Pakistan needs a long footed heavy lifter with good ew suite I think j16 fits the bill

moreover it will be very hard for china to sell j11s to pakistan without russian authorisation

J16 is an attacking weapon system.

Why PT-3 ??? ... since PT-2 is the static test specimen, what would make sense ... however I think some here are still mixing the number of prototypes and configuration:

So IMO the...
PT-1 = no. 01 demonstrator (31001) = FC-31V1 (even if V1 & V2 are sure non-official designations)
PT-2 = most likely IMO the static test airframe = FC-31V1
PT-3 = the first revised prototype, which just flew today for the second time

you mean v1 has 2 prototyoes?

 

[Ultima Thule]

You mean, its not built for day flight.
Applaud for you

It was just a joke, but remember if you want keep your development jet in extreme secrecy you always fly it at night examples are SR-71, U-2, F-117 and B-2

 

[Deino]

Yes, ... most likely the one that was transported back to Shenyang during summer last year.

Or what should PT-2 be by Your interpretation ?

Unlikely, since the revised variant would also have its own static prototype, making it PT-04.

As per numerous other sources, a third variant is definitely in development, with moderate changes.

I don't doubt Mr. Warnes at all, but there have been persistent rumors of a new version, possibly with an enlarged airframe and other modifications, in development. It's likely a naval variant, but that is unconfirmed.
