J-35A fighter (PLAAF) + FC-31 thread

You can do away with SRAAM if you can employ an IR MRAAM. With an IR seeker head and TVC, a MRAAM can be employed in short range arena.

And using datalinks, the IR MRAAM can be sent to near medium ranges to fulfill it's primary function.

IR MRAAM exists already [France, Israel] but they might get more popular if everyone starts moving away from SRAAM.

China do actually have an IR MRAAM, it's whatever this is

IR MRAAM would probably be pretty useful against stealth objects.
Anti stealth radar while not accurate enough for a radar guided missile, they could be used to guide IR missiles within IR detection range

Is there any room left if PL-10s are fitted into the side bays?
I wonder if a slightly elongated or widened PL-10 for a larger motor with a dual pulse feature and lofted trajectory be enough for a 50km MRAAM while drone swarm will be handled by low powered lasers or active jamming.

MICA is about the size of PL-10 and it can do 50-80km.
