J-35 carrier fighter (PLAN) thread

Maybe I'm missing something ,but based on the image how do we know that its J-35 rather than J-35A?

The only differentiating tell between J-35 and J-35A when their landing gear is retracted, is wingspan/wing fold line, is it not? And based on the angle of that picture and the quality of the image, it seems like we can't actually tell whether the wing is consistent with J-35 or J-35A...

@Captain小潇 on Weibo mentioned the wing surface area and flaps, though I mainly see the rudders.

The rudders look possibly consistent with J-35 rather than J-35A, though the resolution seems a bit low to tell definitively where the line is.

But that's fair enough, I was just wondering if I missed something.

This is credible news?

I already told you. It comes directly from the horse's mouth. The source is right there in the article.

Engineers from the Sukhoi Design Bureau, a design arm of the Russian Sukhoi Corporation in cooperation with Radioelectronic Technologies Concern (KRET), provided an overview of how the systems work recently through an emailed interview with Avionics International.

I can tell you that everything stated in the article about the Su-57 avionics is confirmed via other (Russian) sources. This is a serious article not just some fantasy concoction.
