Domestic 003 high-definition aerial footage leaked again, stunning details of J-31

The rare high-definition drone captured video footage of the 003 aircraft carrier under construction in China has been leaked, and the J-31 (also known as FC-31 "Eagle"), which is believed to be the carrier, has received attention.

On August 31, Taiwan's defense department released the 2021 report on mainland military strength, which focuses on the Type 003 aircraft carrier. The report mentioned that after the Type 003 aircraft carrier enters service, the People's Liberation Army will have a complete advantage in regional deterrence and anti access capabilities against Taiwan and the United States within the first island chain.

Recently, news about the progress of the 003 aircraft carrier has been continuously disclosed. A set of photos of the Type 003 aircraft carrier with the words "Laughing and laughing to see the world" and the annotation "2021-8-29" have been exposed on the internet.

Among them, the grooves of the three electromagnetic catapults on the bow of the aircraft carrier are also very clear. Except for the middle groove, which seems to have the action of installing equipment, there is currently no movement in the other two parts.

At the same time as the emergency construction of the Type 003 aircraft carrier, the J-31 carrier based aircraft has attracted much attention. Military blogger "Camouflage Tiger" once analyzed that the Chinese J-20 fighter jet is unlikely to become a carrier based aircraft for aircraft carriers, and its size is not very suitable. If it is to be matched with aircraft carriers, it will inevitably require major changes.

In the future, China's new carrier based aircraft are likely to be foreign trade models, and the J-20 is not for sale and is unlikely to be carried on aircraft carriers. Almost impossible.

Compared to the J-20, the J-31 is more suitable in terms of size. This fighter was originally designed for the F-35 and has not been officially converted. It is highly likely that it will be used as a carrier based aircraft for aircraft carriers. This possibility is also highly regarded by experts.

According to analysis, the J-31 not only adopts a normal layout of single seat and dual engine, outward leaning dual vertical tail, and fully dynamic flat tail, but also has large S-shaped air intakes on both sides and built-in missile compartments.

In combat, the J-31 has extremely high survivability, such as low radar detectability and low infrared radiation characteristics. With some advantages, it can also be comparable to the US F-35.

According to a report by Defense Express on July 1st, retired US Navy intelligence officer Colonel James Fanel said, "The appearance of the J-31 carrier based aircraft is likely to represent another important milestone in the development of China's carrier based blue water naval aviation capabilities, which the Chinese Navy has long pursued

The article states that the Chinese Navy has taken another important step towards eliminating the last advantage of the US Navy, which is the J-31 carrier based fighter jet.

The emergence of the J-31 carrier based aircraft is not only a major step for China's defense industry to promote the construction of modern aircraft carrier forces, but also a cross generational leap achieved on the basis of the J-15 carrier based aircraft.
