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

[S10]

when it comes to internal weapons bays missile versions matter..as fins and size of missile may or may not fit

There is a PL-12 variant in development that have smaller fins for internal carriage, similar in performance to AIM-120D. J-31 will be able to carry 4 medium range (PL-12C) + 2 short range AAM (PL-10) in its bay.

yes i know...thnx btw.....but i am eager to see recently tested huge PL-15 and in development PL-21 rumoured range 400+
for J-31 with reduced size version

@MarvellousThunder@PDC

Well your prediction about the 2nd J-31 prototype flying this December is apparently going to come true.

we can also expect in the same period the first inducted J-20 picture with serial number

The FC-31 v2.0 has started ground taxi tests. Flight tests are imminent.

PL-15 has a range of 180,200 Km not 400 Km and PL-21 is in development but range is not 400 Km but in a same class Euro METEOR with a range of 100 Km

Any special change in v2?

Any special change in v2?

Cropped wings, single-piece canopy, addition of an EOTS, cockpit changes, possible engine upgrade, enlarged fuselage, redesigned vertical stabilizers, modifications to enhance VLO capabilities, and fully-functioning subsystems. Essentially, the V2.0 would be to the FC-31 v1.0 what the F-35A was to the X-35.

Hope to see ne of them (J31 0R J20) in PAF clours soon.

PAF just wait for it, make it fast.

I think J31 V2 shall have similar scheme and paint job of J20, it looks sharp.
