J-35 carrier fighter (PLAN) thread

[toast]

In today's podcast, Yankee confirmed the following points:

1. The first unit to receive the J-35A will operate a mixed fleet of J-20 and J-35A.This unit has more of a research and development role than a combat one, tasked with training other units, testing new software, and pioneering new tactics.

2. The J-35A also serves as an aggressor aircraft, simulating the large numbers of F-35 in China's vicinity during BVR and close-range air combat training.

3. The J-35A's internal fuel capacity exceeds 8 tons, giving it a range no weaker than that of older Flanker variants

Sorry, I didn’t realize this was a post about the J-35! I’ll repost it in the correct section！

An ascending J-35 with full afterburners.

IMO, this fabricated image was made by the same person who also made the fake J-36 image fews days ago. He added some camera HUDs to the image to fake it as a "picture taken by camera."

Would be really funny if someone reports this clown for leaking secrets. Prosecute these lazy fabrications as actual leaks, bet that would make em quit. Hehe

Another interesting point from guancha folks. J35 could be the first stealth aircraft to be launched off a EMAL catapult aircraft carrier. Since we should expect it to happen this year.

Is that from a recent video?

Hasn't it been rumoured for the last few weeks that J-35 had already been launched from 003 during one of its past recent sea trials and that the PLAN are waiting to release the footage/confirm the event at a future point in time?

It has been rumored and I think they are implying we will get video release before September's parade.

June 14th would be a nice day to release the footage.

Right, what I mean is you're making it sound like they're saying that the launch itself has yet to happen.

I'm saying that the noise in the last month or so is that the launch has already happened.

That’s a really good range. It should get an EW specific variant too.
