What exactly is your "backup" for thinking his claim is stupid?

Yes 2026 is a bit early but by 2027/2028 is defintely possible, as China is a mature 5th generation fighter plane developer with the successful incorporation of the WS-15 into the J-20 that has been in service for 7 years now.

It just needs to miniaturise the J-20 into the smaller J-35 and successfully develop the WS-19(they can always start off with WS-13A in initial planes as backup).

The plane was first shown to the public in 2012 and there have been numerous prototypes flying since then. China does not give a running commentary of new planes in development like the USA does.

Anyway China would want the J-31 to be ready at a similar time to when the Fujian carrier starts service in 2026-2027. They really don't want such an advanced carrier flying with J-15s on board for long if at all.

Oh bhai first customer will be PLAAF not PAF that's the whole point bro and after the first demonstrator of FC-31 second prototype of J-31 came into view in 2022 and recently 3rd prototype, it will take time to mature it especially in avionics and weapon testing fields

As for miniature J20 it's not possible for CAC to develop miniature version of J-20 in such short time period and remember sir WS19 is still in development, we knows nothing about WS19 when she will be ready

And last don't talk about J35 which is unrelated to J-31, most probable date for PAF will be 2030-2032 time-frame and not earlier than that
