SAC FC-31 Stealth Fighter: News & Discussions

J-15 can carry Khibiny jamming pods on wing tips which can jam AWACs.

plain and simple that is wrong again. The J-15 cannot carry the Khibiny but only the much older Sorbitsa pod but AFAIK Chine did not order them.

J-15 can carry R-37M which is carried on Flanker type jets. R-37M has range 400 km in anti AWAC / anti tanker role. That's why J-15 remains important for Chinese carriers.

this is a lie again ... no Russian Su-33 was ever seen with a R-37 and since the J-15 has a Chinese avionics system it is not compat with Russian AAMs

take this as a warning and stop spreading lies and fakes.

Tai Hai Chen is likely a lying troll with an anti-China obsession. I have read many of his posts and disputed two of his. He immediately ran away without responding. But he kept on spitting out tons of trolling posts. I wonder how he got all this time. Hm...

Yes..

On customer request! Smoke and fireworks.

Well ... Also, it seems, that these are in fact two ... but also just for curiosity: the old ones were seen in June 2012 and the real FC-31 was spotted first in mid-September.

Based on the latest discussions at Twitter, this is: "剑门关服务区（Jian Menguan Service Stop). It is a major service stop on G5 National Highway and about 250km away from Chengdu."

So the question now is: Why then a transport of parts / modules from Chengdu/CAC to Xi'an? Could it be for static testing of another variant? Maybe the twin-seater or WS-15 integration? Or are such transports quite common but only not documented?

Yes and also Lockheed martin‘s F-16 proposal for India is called F-21, but how is this relevant for the FC-31?
