J-35 carrier fighter (PLAN) thread

[Ironhide]

Where's the J-35? All I see is the vertical tail and folded wings of a J-15.

Sorry it was a J-15

Could you please post this in the J-15 thread since I'm not aware of a NAU badge on a J-15?

stupid me ... I thought there would be a badge on it

Imagery aside, shouldn't it be the default assumption for any carrier-based aircraft to have folding wings? It's more or less universal for obvious reasons, and I can't think of any examples off the top of my head which don't.

Harrier.
F-14 didn't have it, albeit the wings were swept back.

Rafale M does not sport folding wings either.

Two J-35s spotted.

Catapult trials imminent it seems.

Scanning through Weibo right now for hints, although I haven't seen a post about it yet. This could be from other sources.

Watchers on Weibo are describing this image as "J-66".

And although the image is extremely blurry, it does seem like the one on the left has a bigger wingspan than the right? So it may be a J-35 along with a J-31.

Actually this image is so blurry that IMO they look even more like two F-22s than a J-35 or J-35 & FC-31 (J-31).
But don't tell this too loud, otherwise some Pakistani fan-boys immediately claim these two are for Pakistan.
