China tested the new J-31 fighter on Wednesday (31 October 2012) morning, becoming only the second country after the US to have two fifth-generation stealth fighters. The test of the J-31 was a success, according to mil.huanqiu.com, the mainlands leading military website, which also posted pictures of the aircraft. China tested its first fifth-generation stealth fighter J-20 on January 11, 2011, the day when the visiting former US Defence Secretary Dr Robert Gates met President Hu Jintao in Beijing.(Imaginechina via AP Images)
