China presents new military aircraft

Fifth generation Jian J-31B intended for aircraft carriers - VIDEO

A stealth fighter aircraft named Jian J-31B. This would be China's new aeronautical project, announced in recent days via a video by the Shenyang Aircraft Corporation, a company controlled by the state group Aviation Industry Corporation of China (Avic). An aircraft that in the future will be deployed on board the aircraft carriers of Beijing's navy.

The Japanese newspaper "Nikkei" relaunched the news in recent hours. The Jian J-31B "Gyrfalcon" aircraft is a fifth generation fighter. The preview video shows a computer-generated prototype that features side slots for various armaments and two missiles. Beijing's objective would be to deploy the aircraft first on the "Fujian" aircraft carrier and then on all the other maritime units, which today host Shenyang J-15 aircraft.

Below, the video. The footage released by the Chinese company Shenyang Aircraft Corporation shows the new fifth generation J-31B stealth fighter aircraft. The plane, some military experts point out, appears to be much larger than the basic FC-31 aircraft, first introduced ten years ago.
