Escorted by Okhotnik. The program is getting really interesting these days, unfortunately much of it is at Akhtubinsk (black hole) and in general in Russia they have clamped down on military transparency and “leaks”.

I mean, the biggest PAK-FA insider is in jail now.

[USER=”959″]Deino[/USER] : On the front facia of the pod, I see a circular inlet* with thick lip (converge with the fact that there is no glass – anti-icing system). Inside that inlet there is a rectangular item with a certain thickness where 3 rounded protubering dome-like spots are placed apart.

This for the physical description. Both pictures doesn’t seems to show the exact same unit (internal items are slightly different).

*more a free stream opening since it does not seems that there is any outlet.

You are right. I see what you mean now :stupid:

What the hell are they?

Unless there is PLAAF or PLAN backing, the project is dead (at least inside China). Rumors for PLAAF appears to be a solid “NO” for the FC-31. For the PLAN it is like “Yes, No, Yes, maybe, maybe not”. J-20, in contrast, had a steady stream of rumors and continues to this day.

This is what “Chinese Military Aviation” says – http://chinese-military-aviation.blogspot.com/

If ordered now by a foreign customer, FC-31 could enter the production as early as 2019 and achieve IOC in 2022. The latest rumor (October 2018) claimed that a much redesigned variant has been selected by PLAN as its next generation carrier-based stealth fighter (J-35?).

But then why the low RCS shaping?!

RCS shaping?

To me looks like the seeker portion of Kh-29/Kh-59 or KAB-500Kr

I thought those things under the Su-35 were either cameras or seekers of A-to-G weapons for training ???
