J-31 possibly being tested & evaluated in Pakistan

[The SC]

as for jf17 stealth hoax , its imposibble to make this current airframe too stealthy like 5th gen...but some measures can be taken like silvery nozzle , RAM coating, different nose and canopy shape , more use of composites and doing something to the leading edge extensions

Add electronic active cancellation and you get a very stealthy fighter..not 5th G stealth but something close to the Rafale a 4++ G kind of stealth

As for news of the residents near SAC , THEY found 31001 flying very less but it had more than 20 flights for sure....especially rumours r that in july it was tested with WS-13e , supercruise engine.....but what we r confusing is that , FC31 v2 is a different aircraft alltogether with major airframe modifications so it would require its own tests....

Yes but the airframe tests will take much less time than the Systems (Avionics, EM/ECM, Radar, IRST..etc) that have already been tested to some extent..

tbh , i think JF-17 block 3 will be a testbed for J-31 avionics , so avionics test wont take much time...but engine and maneuverablity test will take much as engines are underpowered according to the latest info

No, J-31 and JF-17 are completely different.

u didnt get my point. I think JF-17 block 4 is a testbed for avionics to be used on J31 just like J-10 is a testbed for J-20.
But dont take my point that seriously . As JF-17 is a CAC project but in use with Paf and J-31 is SAC project which has high interests from PAF side so possible that paf will use avionics tailered to be used on j31 on block 4 for testing purpose....But given that J-11A/B/D , J-15 ,J-16,J-16B are SAC projects , the avionics for j31 can be tested on these existing platforms...just like J-15 is testing avionics for J-11D

I wouldn't have opened a thread based on a random video had a reputable source earlier not dropped a hint towards this,
In fact, I picked up that the J-31 was part of the contingent that arrived to participate in the Shaheen series of exercise earlier this year.

"I can assure you that this news is correct and you can attest it from WIKIPEDIA as well". How can PLAAF send a platform which it has not even hinted to induct in domestic service, as a representative of PLAAF in Pakistan? And If J-31 could make it while being the sole prototype, what has stopped PLAAF from sending in the J-20 which it both owns as well as prepares for official induction?
Selling patriotism is fine but at least sell it with some common sense accompanying as well.

I like it when we test the clouds from our Kiyali Palao

Can't make their mind , if they want Fighter Jet that is stealth or Fighter Jet with biggest badest engine if engine was the criteria why did you rejected the J10B ?


Option 1:
You love Engine
You love F16 level
You love 2 seater
You love Hard points increase

Well get J10B just be done with it and Engine made in China


Option 2:
You want Stealth
You love Ability to have special ops
You love 2 seater
You are ok with Ok engine (Can be upgraded in future)
You are ok with Missile supply

Get J-31

Now you can't claim to be so picky

best to go with the turkish next generation fighter jet imo. i'm 100% sure that china will only induct the J-20 and buy a second stealth fighter off the shelf.

If we do buy the J-31, we better get some ToT/local production. Along with customizability like the use of Russian engines/european avionics. But if they just offer an off the shelf purchase better go for something else like the F-35.
