Meet The FIRST China Aircraft That Will Beat F-35 (2021)

Several years ago, the president of a leading Chinese defense company boasted that China’s J-31 stealth fighter jet could definitely take down the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.

Appearing on China’s state broadcaster on in 2014, Lin Zuoming, president of Aviation Industry Corp of China (Avic), the state-owned Chinese defense company that manufactures the J-31, boldly declared that “When it [the J-31] takes to the sky, it could definitely take down the F-35. It's a certainty.”

It is widely believed that the J-31 is modeled in part off of stolen F-35 technology.
Lin went on to say that the J-31 would compete with the F-35 in the global marketplace, painting China’s second stealth fighter as a low-cost alternative to the U.S. made fifth-generation jet.

"The next-generation air forces that are unable to buy the F-35 have no way to build themselves up. We don't believe the situation should be that way," Lin said, Reuters reported. He added, “The world should be balanced. Good things shouldn't all be pushed to one party."

The J-31, which is alternatively referred to as the Falcon Hawk, Falcon Eagle, Shenyang FC-31, and F-60/J-21, is a twin-engine (Russian RD-93s) jet that conducted its first flight sometime in 2012. The jet did not make its first public appearance until the Zhuhai Air Show in China last month. At the show, the jet made a demonstration flight but was not put on display at the air show, however.

The F-35 was planned and produced around a concept of spiraling more capabilities into production aircraft.
The anticipated timeline for a new block upgrade to the F-35 fighter jet may be impacting the Air Force’s decision to slow the procurement process of the F-35A variant, according to a report on the future fighter jet force published by The Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies.

The delays associated with Block IV run counter to the Air Force’s plan to quickly evolve the software upgrade process, as upgrades are accelerating and integrating on much faster timelines to leverage technological advances. Air Force officials have said that software modernization will no longer take place within predetermined windows separated by a year or more but happen on a continuous “as-ready” basis. This strategy complements the broader software upgrade plan and expedites modernization, security patches, artificial-intelligence-enabled functionality, condition-based maintenance and weapons upgrades.

Due to some of the more recent software upgrades, the F-35 fighter jet can fire the Sidewinder missile “off boresight” along with a growing range of other weapons. In the next few years, the Block IV upgrade will allow the stealth fighter jet to drop the Small Diameter Bomb Increment II, known as the Stormbreaker.
