J-31 need 2 seater for Navy fighter ?

 

[Death_Angels]

J-31 Is it better than the j-20?

 

[White and Green with M/S]

J-31 Is it better than the j-20?

Na J-20 is better

 

[Ali_Baba]

J- 20 is an operational mature 5-th Generation stealth fighter. J-31 is at best, a technology demonstrator as of now.

PAF likes to go for mature systems if buying off the shelf, I dont think PAF is interested in a development programme that the J-31/35 would need, to make it to front line operational service.

The J-31 program is practically dead but the J-35 program, which branched off the J-31 program, is in full swing. Most likely, it is going to be the PLAN's 5th generation carrier borne fighter, so not a bad candidate for the PAF at all. The J-35 is actually considerably more suitable for the PAF than the J-20 because the latter was designed to operate in long ranges across the Western Pacific, which is something Pakistan does not need to consider.

FC-31 is not really dead and is still in development ready for export market and also to serve as testbed before designing the J-35 for PLAN.

So J31 is like China's JSF?

With rising threat from IAF that is in good terms with US, PAF is waiting for completed FC-31 for evaluation before deciding to purchase probably in small numbers

FC-31 is not really dead and is still in development ready for export market and also to serve as testbed before designing the J-35 for PLAN.

FC-31 was never real offer for export. It was revealed to public so anyone with interest might come for talks to see if there is chance to develop it. J-20 never fly airshow in prototype form because PLAAF already decided on it. Only fly in military parade and airshow first time after PLAAF had J-20 for number of years only with short showing.

FC-31 is basically now finished like Figaro said where the project is taken by PLAN. No one knows if it can be offered for export soon. Definitely if it can be sold will be many years after PLAN receive them. If a customer is interested in developing their version from FC-31 or J-35, it will cost them so much money.
