Only other thing I can think of is towed decoy.

Settles… what, exactly? That’s not even from today’s aerial performance?

Are there more than one J-35A in the show?

Yes, they have shown at least two different aircraft

Is it the same J-35A in the exhibition? Or you are saying there are two J-35A shown up in this exhibition and their horizontal stablizers are mounted differently? I have checked other photos in the last three pages, they are either too bad in quality or lighting to judge or shown to be the same mount.

This is not from today afiak. J35A showed up for like 30 seconds at today’s airshow before ascending into the clouds never to be seen again, the handful of photos snatched on scene all show the aircraft with the hinge-type tail as the last few pages of posts show.

source: I stayed up all night waiting for and then watching a livestream of the aerial performance, disappointed that J35A showed up as little as it did but hey that’s life

Thanks, things move too fast.

So true, I’m sacrificing way too many sleeping hours hunting for J35A news online and at this point I’m not sure it’s healthy XD

Anyways, like mentioned the safest bet is probably just to wait a bit and see how things play out between the 2 variants, hopefully tomorrow’s performance would reveal a little more. Although I’m not pulling a second all-nighter tonight, jeez it feels bad

I heard the same from a friend who is part of the military attaché corps and he too was very disappointed since they got no announcement prior to when it appeared and then it was already gone.

But just to be sure, the images showing it in full reheat are from today?

Yep, today’s J35A is the one with no DAS apertures, hinge-type horizontal tail and the black-ish nozzles with small serrations. Image included below for reference (sorry for reposting, but this is for illustration purposes)

Please just help me out ... so it is the same one we saw on the first day (on Friday) aka the one with the black nozzles and according to @Dylan Nguyen the third one?

Quoting from your analysis pic Deino, the one on site today is most likely #02
