"Spotted" is putting it rather generously for that specific image.

Obviously I'm willing to take the photographer's word for it, but the picture itself leaves a bit to be desired

Anshan.

Photographers in the Northern Provinces leave a lot to be desired. Has been the case for over a decade.

I can't believe they really did name the Air Force variant the J-35A. They're practically inviting accusations of copying the F-35A. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if the naval variant was called the J-35C.

And speaking of names, I think it may be time to change the name of this thread. Or perhaps even start a new thread with the new title.

Nope, J35 is the Naval version and J35A is the Air Force version and yes J35 is designed to counter F35 that's practically why it uses the same number.

Seems like they did not show off the J-35 at air show?

Likely only a static mockup model for the time being(?) Saw one photo before, but didn't save it in time.
