I've heard it can carry only 4 AAMs in internal bays. Isn't that too low? I thought only f-35 had
this problem. PAK-FA carries 8 AAMs in internal bays. In the end PAKFA with 8 weapons in internal bays will turn out stealthier in actual combat than J-31 carrying external weapons. And btw, it seems J-31 has 2 x RD-93/33 engines, won't its TWR
be too low with those? No supercruising either and no IRST.
And in a dogfight PAKFA can manoeuver the hell out of J-31. New missiles like RVV-SD and RVV-MD
to be installed on both Super Sukhoi and FGFA can take out targets in off-boresight manoevering at 12g.
I'd say PAF would be making a foolish decision if it buys J-31, this plane looks like a waste of money
in comparison to FGFA/PAKFA. It seems any Super Sukhoi will make mince meat out of J-31, Rafale
will find it uber-easy to play around with this new-build mig-29 before killing it.
You're better off with a stealthy variant of JF-17 or J-10...and btw,
any new progress of FC-20 deal? Ive been hearing about this FC-20 since last 3 years or more.
I honestly don't know how to respond to your post (and many of your countrymen's posts for instance). You guys put bullshitt beyond shame. Post like these remind me what you guys did to the American economy and jobs!!
Half of your post if about a mighty jet fighter that barely gotten off the paper into a first proof of concept. Yet, you are claiming how superior PakFa and FgFa may be??? Do you want to wait till they become operational so you can compare apples to apples?
Also, the J-20, J-31 are using tech that's in American stealth fighters (Chinese gained access to American stealth technologies, it was in news so you should know about it). So for better or worse, the Chinese may have a competitive advantage over anyone else besides the US. However, how well they can copy...is another question. But their industry is definitely at the same level as the Russians is at this second (minus the jet propulsion / engines technologies). So on paper and per specs, the J-20 and J-31 should be a direct match to the F-22 and F-35 (I'd imagine 75% match at the most, still not bad for the Chinese defense industry who was lagging behind crazy). So my advise to you is, instead of coming off as a total idiot, try to post some sense or do rational comparisons. At least something from the gibberish written in your post should makes sense.
