J-35 carrier fighter (PLAN) thread

[Gloire_bb]

J-35 is still an expensive aircraft, even if it is cheaper than F-35. Export will be limited by this. Probably only Gulf countries can afford it.

F-35 isn't terribly expensive though.

Given that arms package for J-35 should be more or less within same realm as for other Chinese fighters - procurement can be quite affordable.

The big concern with lo aircraft, as usual, is sustaining them.

Since it's more or less confirmed that J-35 is in service, will the aircraft make an appearance on the Victory Day parade this September?

Since when we are sure it is in service already?

Are we expecting J-35's to be operating on Shandong and Liaoning? IMO probably filling up Fujian first but hopefully we will see mixed air wings on the two legacy STOBAR carriers.

A sighting of the J-35.

I would expect so. In the fullness of time.
