J-31 possibly being tested & evaluated in Pakistan

.
Sir, I've also learned recently that there will be two elements to the Stealth program in Pakistan. One would be getting the J-31 and Second, to build a platform internally called the JF-18, it would be a smaller single engine Stealth plane with different air-frame and tech, so like a mini J-31. While the J-31 will form the hi of the Stealth tier.

I, unfortunately, can't site the source as he is a friend of mine in the PhD program with a father in the PAF at a very high rank. So take this for what its worth. But when he tells me something, I've seen it happen and this very forum confirms he was right on previous stuff too. Thanks

I doubt Pakistan can run two fifth generation fighter program simultaneously. What I am expecting Pakistan will be manufacturing J-31 under license with option to improve it customize it according to need in large member. The proposed JF-18 could be stealthey variants of JF-17 ,one Chinese member already posted a picture of a plane looks jF-17 .

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.



Which one? 2.0 version?

That is practically impossible. The full variant of the FC-31 has not even been completed, and I doubt that the Chinese would use their V1.0 prototype (which was used to test WS-13E engines earlier this year) for an exercise.

he doesnt mean that it was sent for exercises rather for testing and evaluating it
