J-35A fighter (PLAAF) + FC-31 thread

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

Because it is an Air Force open day. Navy aircraft are excluded. 长春空军航空开放日。

LD-8A? Is this the new anti-radiation missile based on PL-15 that was talked about

Yes, but it is not new, it was exhibited in the previous Zhuhai Air Show.

Are these air show aimed at domestic audience or international?

Essentially an Air Force Open Day, but this time it is held in with name of an air show, but it is still aimed at domestic rather than international audiences.

I mean it is not like J35A was there either, and it was officially in service at the parade.

Probably PLAAF have only a very small number of in-service J35A as at this moment and they need all of them to be with the training units.

Air force open days have lower priority than national level parades and airshows. Also absence are latest J20A and J20S.

Anshan doesn’t have training units. They are mixed with vanilla J-20.
