SAC - FC-31 Grey Falcon Stealth aircraft for PAF : Updates & Debate

. . . . . .
In a sense most of the things people believe here can be classified as rumor as very few knows exact details .........

Anyway name change doesn't mean much.
Is J designation restricted to those fighters that are on way to be inducted and confirmed or already inducted ?

Since FC-31 wasn’t officially titles J-31 so all this J-31 fuss was self made and that the actual thing was to be called J-35 @Deino ?

FC-31 will launch a new version this year, with significant performance upgrades, and a number of technologies surpassing the F-35

25/01/2020

It has been 8 years since FC-31 flew for the first time. Because it was not accepted by the domestic market, its development focus turned completely abroad. However, since only two verification machines of the FC-31 have been struggling to support them in these 8 years, it was once rumored that the machine has stopped development.

In response to these rumors, Sun Cong, the chief division, has revealed last year that the FC-31 fighter will launch a third verification aircraft in 2020. The aircraft will use a large number of new technologies to ensure combat performance. At the same time, as the performance of the aircraft is greatly upgraded, many technologies are above the F-35, which makes the aircraft more confident in foreign trade.

From the previous air show, the third verification aircraft of the FC-31 fighter will use EOTS. At the same time, the size and space of the built-in bomb bay will also increase. The division of labor between the combat bomb bay and the main bomb bay is clear. More importantly, the 3.0 version of FC-31 will also increase the oil in the fuselage, further increasing the range and combat radius.

In addition to the above, it is also important to note that the new version of the FC-31 seems to also use a new three-sided array radar system. If this is the case, there is no doubt that its situational awareness will directly exceed the F-35, and it will exist as second only to the J-20 in the world.

Hope this is true
Sir @airomerix is Project Azm related to this?

Project Azm

I don't see any side bay as of yet on FC-31 which may predict that FC-31 is not for air superiority at all but tactical strikes only or in other words stealth bomber that will need an escort in-case of hostile interception. AZM will be on par of 5th Gen aircraft that posses the quality to take on air adversary by any given day.

There is no way you could know this information. Sorry if I sound harsh but all "predictions" up to this point are baseless speculations.
V3 has been in rumors for some years, even though if he made a wild guess, it was a successful one.

Consider the range requirements and thrust limitations of Chinese engines, should we expect the engines to be changed to the WS-10/WS-20 class?
