The CGs are very nice but, one thing, it's too F-35!

Reducing the size of the window seems like a step backwards. But I guess they had to put extra fuel to increase range. And those wafer thin wings do not seem to have any room for fuel. This will make the introduction of an F-35 like VR helmet more important.

Based on CGs, I think J-35 is much pretty than F-35. F-35 is just too fat….

J35, probably more deadly.

Saude arabia invested $76 million ,possible that saude will seek co production.

For this sum you don't get anything meaningful and surely not a participation in production.

Could I have a source for that? Thanks.

Did they really invest?
And even if they did, $76 million is far too low for such a program

I hope @winword is not against a re-post of his magnificent CGs here too. Simply amazing!

Great CGIs but I can't see the side weapons bay. Actually does the real-thing even have them.
It would be a huge mistake for J-35 (or any other 5th gen) not to have them for a couple IR-AAM because of the belief WVR engagement will be rare or none at all.
PLAN shouldn't follow F-35 route.
