Does anybody have further information about this particular FC-31 model? It's either a poorly-made one (which won't be surprising to say the least) or maybe the FC-31 did undergo design modifications for future tranches.

New photo of the V2.0 and V1.0. Not sure if the flight is recent, though.
I agree with your point. At the same time, no one has ever used a CBG against a peer rival in Modern warfare. A so-called peer rival will have significant offensive weapons to thwart a CBG from gaining any meaningful occupation near its shores. When we talk about peer rivals, I can only think of the US., Russia and China. These nations have Militaries of scale with highly developed MIC.

Soon naval V3 will appear
Although I have been saying that since 2015!

US Navy is the same?
EW, Stand off munitions, AA suppression, tactics - all of them are not relevant anymore?
While changes are many, fundamental rule changed little: attacking carrier force chooses time and conditions of engagement. It's able to concentrate in the fog of war, while enemy only reacts.
It's crucial.

Yes they have Falklands war Royal Navy against the Argentina
The Argentinian carrier had located the UK carriers but it was outside its operating envelope
Adding more fuel reduced the weight of ordnance and when they finally did decide to launch the wind died down
Carriers are good for beating up weaker country’s but carrier vs carrier on equal footing is about who makes the least mistakes
It really does come down to that
This is called high risk environment, you can have the best pilots and your skills polished one mistake and it’s over

Everything remains relevant, but without a serious 5 gen force to take down the door, you won't get in!
