He refuses to reply to my questions ... but at least he reworked his 3-side plans

Those VLS micro-missiles would almost certainly be intended for large, slow, high-value assets like tankers, AWACS, transports and bombers etc. Although a case can be made to design a defensive UCAV around the VLS to fly escort rather than try and mass integrate the VLS across all those airframes, both for the sake of speed of introduction, as well as cost/performance penalties having them integrated would impose on all those assets.
Fighters like the J36 won’t have the room for them, and as you already pointed out, they would need to sacrifice most of its speed/energy advantage to use them.
If the J36 can mount DEW, it would make far more sense to just add a couple more arrays to give it full 360 coverage and use DEW for self defence. Indeed, DEW on the J36 would make far more sense as a defensive weapon instead of offensive, since you really wouldn’t want enemy assets to get close enough to your J36 to get within DEW range in the first place.
Question - based on previous aircraft introductions for testing/validation, when could we expect to see the 2nd flight? Days, weeks or months ?
~2-3month after spring festival.
In his latest talk show Yankee claims that the chief designer on J-36 read his article and really liked it.
