superior chinese anime taste

This thing is only meant for export, yes? Realistically speaking, who would buy this thing or has shown interest?

>>32362698
Any nation that feels the need to have 'fifth' gen fighters without access to western jets and also the money to buy them - Iran would come to my mind.

>>32362698
Pakistan, Iran, whole Middle East, South American nations, half of Africa, possibly Russia etc.

IMO they should navalize it for their carriers.

china's allies probably can't afford it

>>32362975
Most countries that want it are countries where military come first. Some poor people might eat grass but they will buy them.

>>32362990
If that were true they would all have SU-35's and T-90s.

>>32362990

We can expect Pakistan to get it, since the USA won't sell them the F-35, and India is building the FGFA with Russia, but besides that, there really aren't that many potential customers I can see who wouldn't need generous credit from the Chinese government to get some J-31.

2.0 could really become a pretty good plane.

Now, that the PLAAF got a taste of 5th gen capabilities, maybe they will review their stance on the FC-31

The airshow video indicated that it can carry six fin-less BVRAAM inside. This is most interesting.

>>32362698

I did see it claimed on another Chink thread that the success of the J-20 program has led to renewed interest and support of other 5th gen programs for their own military.

>>32362975
>china's allies probably can't afford it
It will probably cost 50 to 60 million a piece with no "you must respect human rights or invest a trillion $ into our economy like the Arabs" conditions attached to it, everyone can afford this.

post some cute chinese military girls in your next thread

>>32363264
maybe a scaled down version of that. Because I doubt that a six meter long and 400mm sized AABM would fit inside the bay of a medium fighter.

Bandai Namco likes to advertise their shit in their other games resulting in idolshit skins in Ace Combat games.

J-31 isn't gonna happen as additional fighter within the Chinese Air Force.

rumors say that the Dark Sword has lost out to the Sharp Sword, which is a Neuron-styled flaing wing.

>>32363746
how do you know?

>>32363048
even Pakistan needs soft loans to buy the J-10s.

Honestly, the 31 is just gonna be diplomatic candy, handed out to closely aligned nations.

There is something this pic is telling me that the chines are too cheap to properly isolate their buildings and install heating/aircon, but still willing to pour lots of money in some ultra advanced stealth plane.

>>32363878
Depending on the region, there is no heating system at all.

Only the Northern Provinces get heating and isolation, while the Southern ones dont get anything but airconditioner.

>>32363768
Shenyang added more lines for their "Chinese Flankers".

The J-20 is also designed to take the role of the F-22 and F-35.

>>32364348
>Shenyang added more lines for their "Chinese Flankers".
Source?

Getting the J-31 would mean that China would operate two 5gen fighters.

Something that even the USA isn't doing effective. With the F-22 produced in such low numbers while the first ones even hitting the end of their airframe lifetime in the near future.

Pretty sure Putin would rather explode the entire nuclear arsenal inside the storage than buy anything from China. Even oligarchs hate the Chinese.

>>32365527
>Not knowing that Russia has already purchased Chinese diesel engines for their Missile Corvettes.

Sino-Russian cooperation is pretty close and an exchange of tech has been going on both ways for years.

>>32365650
That boat was using German engines, Chinese could make an exact copy of that engine, so after sanctions, the only option was to get the cheap Chinese shit. It's a civilian engine, you can buy one right now if you want.

Russia will never buy Chinese military hardware and neither will the rest of the world.

>>32366405
>neither will the rest of the world.

surprise faggit. Lot of people already buy chinkware.
