If it turns out that this is something more than a propaganda/ego project and China actually begins exporting them to whichever country purchases them when it's finally at IOC(sometime in 2035), how will this affect NATO strategy?
Additionally, how will India and Russia react? ( I assume that India clearly treats China as an adversary and Russia fragile arms export industry probably won't be helped by the introduction of another big player in the cheap-fighter market segment)

Not a single bit, it's a fucking body kit for old parts.
If you're going to post the J-31, you might as well post the latest one

laugh?
>>34278682
I know nobody actually will listen or give a shit but the chinks are testing their new WS-13 engines on the FC-31, the lighter one is the Russian RD-93 and the darker one is the WS-13
>>34278751
And what's the difference? It's just a copy.

Explain

Do multi-role fighters really need super speed nowadays?
>>34278970
High speed with low fuel needed (supercruise) is very desirable for lofting long rang missiles. After that first launch though, the high speed doesn't really matter at all.

So who would buy it anyways
Africans? Iran?
>>34279080
Pakis
>>34279088
Would that be enough to trigger Indians to actually take that whole HAL AMCA meme seriously?
>>34278682
Mach 1.8 is enough, anon. USAF realized this when they bought the F-35.
>>34279099
Indians are really retarded. China just trolls them.
>>34279106
Pratt & Whitney is too retarded to make better engines
>>34279099
Indians can't even make a decent AK clone, there is no way in hell they'll be able to make a decent indigenous fighter jet.

>F-35

India's space program is at this juncture, second only to NASA. Better than Russia's, China's, certainly better than that pathetic and pitiful nonsense that is the european space agency, i dont understand why you idiots are so quick to dismiss their engineering prowess.

There's some real Poe's Law going on with this post and I'm not sure how to respond.

Yes, thank you for announcing your retardation to the rest of the world

nice memes

India is arguably already a regional power of note. While superpowerdom is a bit ambitious, there is nothing to say that they aren't in league with the other 3 great powers of the world (Yanks, Russkies, and China)

What plane is that? Looks cool
