Wouldn't it be a relief to see this jet in PAF service in 2020?

Readying itself for the Zhuhai Show？

What's even more interesting than the J-31 model is the background of the display. Look closely everybody.

Wouldn't it be a treat if PAF unveiled its Block-II at the show?

It surely would be and by keeping in mind the starting date of the first two Blk-II planes i guess they will be out around November so perfect timing.

However, unfortunately, the Marketing efforts of PAC and PAF are absolutely poor so i do not have any hope that this brilliant idea will come in mind of any of those dull minded Generals trying to be Marketing Managers. These guys are really letting the project down.

unless the engine problem solved, JF17 won't find customer in the worldwide market.

It's never the engine problem. JF-17 will turn out to be solely a Pakistan project without much export. But this project helps PAF modernize at a fraction of sum compare to many other air force like IAF. So fret not even it did not achieve any export success. Pakistanis shall always be proud of this aircraft.

of course, JF17 is PAF's pride. said the WS13 will be operational before the end of year 2015, do you have any light to shed on this dude?

Modernization at "fraction of sum" don't apply to Pakistan...the economy is in shambles and will be for atleast next 10 years. It would be a great feat to achieve manufacturing of 150 JF-17s for PAF...Air Force still would have some 180 vintage aircraft to replace. If you hear PAF modernization consider one thing there is going to be no fix time frame for modernization it all depends on Funds.

Looks nice, but what engines it will use in final production model and what methods will be used to make it low IR / Heat signature jet as compared to F-35 or F-22?

Low IR for exhaust is not a very critical in nowadays modern warfare. Seeker of missile are getting more and more sophisticated with digital.
Iraq Mi-35 fitted with IR supression was still locked on by China modern MANPAD FN-6 and got shot down by ISIS.
