It isn't surprise at all. J-20's projected price is slightly higher than Su-27/J-11 at the time of program start. So J-35A has to be a lot cheapper to be worth the effort.
J-35A fighter (PLAAF) + FC-31 thread
- Thread starter ACuriousPLAFan
- Start date
Interesting, I guess then it'll eventually replace the J-10s and older flankers over the next 2 decades.
Head-on shot of the J-35/A, although butchered.
Well not that for sure
The pictures as side to side comparisons are fine but they shouldn't have even tried to speculate about RCS.
What you should believe about the RCS is: "it's rubbish"
Where do they get the J-35 18m length from?
17.3m has been the number for a long time while FC-31 prototype is 16.8m
Completely erroneous graph, none of the Chinese jets' dimensions are accurate, the J-20A's side profile is incorrect, and the RCS numbers are imaginary.
The only redeeming thing is that the relative sizes of the J-20 and the J-35A appear roughly correct.
most novice military fans believe they can test RCS with their eyes.
