The rumors around FC-31 3.0 are that (1) its wings would be modified for greater aerodynamic efficiency, (2) installation of more electronics unseen on previous models would occur, (3) domestic engines would be installed, and (4) it would possibly be enlarged (for naval purposes?).

If the 3.0 started construction in 2017, it would be at least a year before we can see it fly.

As long as Saudi invest it, the Fc31 will be a successful project in the near future.

All it need is investment.

There wouldn't be talk of prototype 3.0 if there wasn't a lifeline for this project.


Saudis might be in already...even if they might not go for the fighter itself...but just to keep Iran out of the game. Besides, SA is making inroads to NE Asia in particular to China as allround strategic parnter.

Just look at the volume of the deals made public...what is not made public is most interesting as always.

Should the above scenario materialise..then PAF will be in a priviledge position to go for Chinease 5th generation fighters...yes, more than one...let us not forget about CAC's post J20 projects.

However, wisdoms is not speculate too much and let time unfold mysteries.

J31 is here to stay, regardless!

If Saudi invest in FC31, PAF is gonna get it off the shelf at very discount price. China, Pakistan and Saudi, lot of thing is going under the table.

I see J-31 is more likely a political weapon to counter US for pushing an arm race in Asia or elsewhere, China can sell it to American's foes as US sell to Japan, Korea and possible India. Maybe Americans claim that J-31 is not as effective as F-35 but that's remain to be seen, there is only China & US for now to offer to Stealth fighters as export so those who can't get F-35 will have a choice to consider J-31 :D, China will certainly able to capture a big chunk of market in the future.
