Recently, the J-31 fighter test flight photos have been circulated on the Internet, which has aroused the attention of the majority of military fans, and at the same time, this news has also attracted the attention of our Pakistani iron brothers.
As the second stealth fighter independently developed by the mainland, every dynamic of the J-31 affects the nerves of the international military trade market. Pakistan has shown a keen interest in this fighter plane, and has even begun to plan this military trade trend, which will undoubtedly have a far-reaching impact on the military pattern in South Asia. So how familiar are you with this model?
The J-31 is a medium-sized stealth fighter independently developed by Shenfei in mainland China, which completed its first flight test on October 31, 2012. The appearance of this fighter marks a major breakthrough in the field of stealth fighters on the mainland, second only to the United States, and has become the second country in the world to successfully test two stealth fighters. The achievement of this achievement not only enhanced the strength of the continental air force, but also won the reputation of the J-31 in the international arms trade market.
The Pakistan Air Force's focus on the J-31 was not a whim, but a careful consideration. At present, the regional situation facing his country is not stable, and it is even facing certain dangers, coupled with the intelligent use of modern warfare. Considering that the F-16 fighters they currently use have been in service for many years, Pakistan has been looking for suitable replacements in order to update their equipment and improve their air defense capabilities.
In recent years, Pakistan has purchased 20 J-10 fighters and is satisfied with their performance. Now, they are once again in contact with the mainland and plan to purchase J-31 stealth fighters.
This model is a model independently developed by the mainland, which is from the hands of the mainland Shenfei Group. In fact, the continent has completed its first flight as early as 2012, and the mainland has become the second country in the world to have two stealth fighters.
With the exposure of the test flight photos of the improved version of the J-31P, its development process has taken a big step forward, but it will take some time for it to be officially put into use. The more useful the weapon, the more you need to wait, and it's worth the wait.
After all, before a new fighter is finalized, it needs to undergo a variety of performance tests, including static tests and destructive tests on the aircraft, to ensure the maturity of the aircraft. Only after obtaining accurate data can the various systems on the aircraft be tested to ensure their stable performance and reliable operation.
It is precisely because the research and development of the new model is so rigorous, so once the relevant information of the new model appears, it means that most of its development process has been completed.
Of course, at this stage, the research and development of the model is still very rigorous, until the model is put into practical application, it is necessary to carry out multi-faceted performance tests to ensure the safety of the model and the accuracy of the performance.
Pakistan's booking of the J-31 will undoubtedly have a profound impact on the strength of its air force. Its high stealth and powerful performance will greatly enhance Pakistan's air defense in South Asia. At the same time, this will also have a certain deterrent effect on neighboring countries and further consolidate their regional status.
For the mainland, Pakistan's reservation is not only a recognition of the performance of the J-31, but also an affirmation of the mainland's independent research and development capabilities. This will also bring more opportunities to the mainland in the international arms trade market and promote the further development of the Continental Army's industrial industry.
However, it should also be noted that an advanced fighter is not a panacea. While improving hardware strength, it is also necessary to strengthen the soft power construction in personnel training and combat coordination. Only in this way can we truly bring into full play the maximum effectiveness of fighter jets and enhance their overall combat effectiveness.
In addition, competition in the international arms trade market has always existed, and other countries are also actively developing a new generation of fighter jets in order to occupy an advantageous position in the market, so the mainland should continue to increase investment in independent research and development, and constantly improve its technological level and innovation capabilities in order to cope with the increasingly fierce competition situation.
To sum up, the successful development of the J-31 and the reservation of Pakistan have undoubtedly brought new development opportunities to the Continental Army's industrial industry. At the same time, however, we should also be aware of the complexity and competitiveness of the international arms trade market, and only by constantly enhancing our own strength, strengthening the building of soft and hard power, and actively participating in market competition can we achieve more brilliant results in the international arms trade arena.
