This fills the gap from 1 to 27 sqn plus 41 sqn being the 28th sqn and counting Ccs as 1 full sqn strength (jf, f7 and mirages) makes paf total 29 sqns of course not counting risal-pur based training sqn (2 wings) and 7/8 heli sqns

It shd be shifted, surrounded by populated areas.

J31 news is not too encouraging.

The J-31 project appears to have fallen much first behind. There were numerous reports in this year that both PLAAF and PLAN have rejected the current iteration of this aircraft. It looks like SAC is continuing to privately fund this project and recently flew the second prototype. Since J-20 is unlikely to be purchased in large number (probably in similar numbers of F-22), there will be a requirement for a lower cost 5th generation fighter jet. SAC is building a limited number of prototypes to continue to showcase an improved demonstrator. At some point, it is hoping to capture more funding from PLA in order to really ramp up the development work for J-31. It would be a sad day for SAC if it looses both the light 5th gen aircraft and 2nd generation naval aircraft project to CAC.

WS-13E engine achieved design certification this year. The second FC-31 prototype may be powered by this engine. It could also be used to power JF-17 and UCAV projects. So, I think this is one development that should be carefully watched.
