J-31 to be inducted soon| Pilot training reportedly in progress

[Deino]

Deino,

There was a talk about an air force version of J-35 without folding wing and lighter landing gear ... what's the status of that version?

Here it is ...

As it seems another sighting of the J-31 (?) or whatever the land-based version of the J-35 naval fighter may be designated ...

Thanks, Deino what a delight to watch this beauty. The video is absolutely awesome.

Interesting since it confirms my scepticism regarding "Pakistan will receive its J-31 as early as mid/late 2025" & also regarding the training ... but I also don't believe that the PLAN will give then -35 soon, they will need them all for their own units & training. But let's wait and see.

What did I say.

Nice one. If PLAAF is not getting J-31, is it safe to assume this bird could actually belong to PAF!?

It belongs to Shenyang . You will get yours in due course.

Great, either way, great.

Interesting comparison … J-31(?) top vs J-35 bottom

So that means Pakistan is going to be the 1st country in South Asia to operate fifth generation fighters?

No, it only means there are two slightly different variants - one carrier-based and one land-based - of the same type.

Hi,

Regardless of the variant---we are getting them---we will be the first ones---.

China is desperately waiting for us to fly them---assess them and share with them info that they cannot get otherwise---.

Haters will hate---but it is not going to stop us.

So you really want to tell us, that China develops a fifth generation fighter on its own cost, will deliver it to a customer - namely Pakistan (and I’m sure again almost for free) - before it gets its own variant - namely the J-35 - only since it „is desperately waiting for us to fly them“?

To deny such nonsense has nothing to do with hate or being a hater, but just with common sense!

I think he meant first external customers, not literally first ones

Maybe the first for PAF to develop tactics and remove any glitched

That’s surely likely and no-one denies that but it simply won’t fit to the 2025 and other claims.

And you think the PLA needs Pakistan‘s help for this?
