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

To be clear, the 15 here is referring to the J-15, not WS-15
You wrote "only a matter of time until the WS-19 comes."
I'm asking if you meant to write "WS-15" instead of "WS-19" in your sentence.
Because hasn't WS-19 already "arrived" if it is installed on production J-35As? (I.e.: it isn't only a matter of time until the WS-19 comes, because WS-19 has already arrived, therefore we are not waiting for anything in regards to WS-19 status for J-35A)
Oh, I see where the confusion stemmed from. You wrote "WS-15" here:
And so I was a bit confused.
No?
I should've said "we knew" huh? That might clear it up.
I meant that "we knew, as in we prior to this confirmation, that WS-19 will be installed in J-35/A no matter what anyways. The J-15's engine info would be more interesting since it's less clear."
+ Currently the J-35 does lack WS-19s, so I meant in terms of that too.
Yeah I was re-reading the last few posts just now and I see what you mean now.
When you are talking about J-35/A's engines as "definitely indigenous and only a matter of time until the WS-19 comes" you are saying that "at least we can definitely confirm J-35 and J-35A both use indigenous engines, and only a matter of time until J-35 is also equipped with WS-19s like J-35A is".
I was confused because I thought it was confirmed a long time ago that both J-35 and J-35A utilized indigenous engines, so it threw me for a bit and so I went down the WS-15 route (like if the 15 was being interpreted as WS-15 or something, and WS-19 being a generational peer to WS-15, that "WS-15" would thus be the only thing to wait for given WS-19 has reached a production milestone)
Great. Glad we're on the same page now lol
Considering some of his past posting records, I would rank him beneath the Guancha Gang.
Yeah, a lotta analysts on Weibo are not convinced. Personally, unless they're more credible and has a better source than what of Yankee and co., I'm sticking with "yes they're WS-19s."
to be honest, no one expected WS-19 to be ready this quick. so its hard to believe for some people.
but Yankee and co., are highly trusted people when to comes to PLA. so this WS-19 News is correct. unless we get direct info from AECC weibo handle.
