Problem with EW on stealth jets is that unless you design planes with loads of space there aren't many good places to put your electronics. You can squeeze fuel tanks or even missiles into weird spaces but ew equipment requires a good field of view for its emitters and receivers. If you put lots of stuff into pods damaging stealth the improvements compared to a flanker is questionable.
J-35 carrier fighter (PLAN) thread

He probably means because it's Trump's birthday and there will be a US military parade.
A formation flight with 2x J-35s flying behind 3x J-15/Ts.
Do you know where this photo was taken?
If this photo wasn't taken above or near SAC, then the PLANAF might be closer to achieving an IOC for the J-35 (at least from land) than generally suspected.
Definitely not near SAC, they don't host active brigades. This is probably practicing for the 9.3 parade.
Nice. First thought: J-15 is a bit bigger.
Self-explanatory.
But wait ... aren't these two J-35As instead of naval J-35s even if the other three fighters are indeed J-15?

You're right. Could you move it to the J-35A thread? Thanks.
