CV-18 Fujian/003 CATOBAR carrier thread

Somebody should inflate a J-31 decoy on deck and watch the freak out that ensues.Her sea trials continue off the coast of Liaoning.
Better yet, some trapezoidal or Dorito shaped balloons on board to cause endless online drama about secret 6th gens.
Why would they give credibility to the land-based version (without naval features) being on the carrier? Might as well put a type 59改 mock-up on the EM cats at that point.
Because it would show that J-31 is ready and will be inducted into PAF by 2025.
2025? I think you mean next month...
Don't let this see the usual suspects, otherwise I once again have to read the usual BS all over on C and the PDF!
… literally floating.
... Uh, we've already seen J-35 mockup on CV-18 and it's probably at sea on or in the carrier.
It wouldn't cause much of a freakout because if it was seen on the deck on a satellite images, it would be seen as either a mockup or perhaps the real aircraft doing aviation trials on it which we expect in the near future anyway.
And if you mean the land based "J-31" why would that relate to Pakistan at all, given we won't expect the land based "J-31" to be on CV-18 to even get on the flight deck to begin with (it can't even land on it let alone take off from it), not to mention on a satellite image of this quality we wouldn't be able to reliably differentiate from a J-35 mockup versus a J-31 mockup.
All of which is to say.... This joke doesn't make any sense to me?
