Pakistan should join to the Project from South Korea instead of this Aircraft that even is a 5th Gen.
Sanction prone program for pakistan, KFX will be using too much technology from USA, my best bet is to stick J-31 programPakistan should join to the Project from South Korea instead of this Aircraft that even is a 5th Gen.
Korean fighter jet project is more looks like 4.5th gen jet just like Turkish project, both jets shall be used in complementary role alongwith true 5th gen jets.Pakistan should join to the Project from South Korea instead of this Aircraft that even is a 5th Gen.
Is PAF joining the development? Someone said the 2nd prototype of FC-31 would come out this year.pshamim at pakdef
''
F-31are being discussed now. Upto 60 may be purchased initially, if talks succeed hopefully
Quantities may vary. This is the latest information. Let's see what transpires next.
Numbers are ambitious but where the money will come from. Apprehensive but assure the discussions are on''
I don't think there's any other way to get the FC-31 program going, especially since the AVIC chief (during the Dubai Air Show) said that an external partner was being sought.Is PAF joining the development? Someone said the 2nd prototype of FC-31 would come out this year.

Unfortunately I don't know.How much investment in the project is being sought? If say 2 billion dollars of investment will get Pakistan to license produce them locally in 2 years time or if PAF gets 2 squadrons of FC 31 in 2 years time, then, its not a bad investment.
PAF wants to buy these fighters off the shelf. Although JFT has been a success t was complicated by the Chinese AF subsequent refusal to induct these fighters inspite of the agreement. This had implications on its development pace and cost.PAF does not want a repeat of the same picture especially with a far more riskier project which could easily absorb 5-10 billion more in its development cycle. We need smaller number and a huge outlay may not be worth the benefit.
You realize this picture really means at this time in flight and with this weapons' configuration, the RCS is around 3(MS)s right? There is nothing stealthy with missiles hanging and the weapons bay opened!! You have got to hide everything....
If you want to fly this jet like this, its a waste of like $ 75 million per plane. JFT block III may be a better option for such configuration. Use this plane with stealthy techniques. Don't make it a sitting duck with weapon loads attached!!
