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

[Tomboy]

Isn't there already a Pic or pics with j35/A with eots uncovered bruh

That's the J-35, all J-35A seen to date even including the one on the assembly floor had either no EOTS installed or covered.

Self-explanatory.

Self-explanatory.

This one looks like no. 61823

presumably the shiny paint on the J-20 is shiny because of its radar absorbent content. the fact that J-35 does not have similar shiny paint seem to me to mean either the j-35 has better stealth shaping so it doesn’t need the help from special paint, or very high level of stealth is less critical to the J-35‘s mission than to J-20’s.

Nah, it should have better stealth than J20 (newer materials, better computer simulation of shape/more research and knowledge on shaping).

Probably also better than F22 and F35

Or its too expensive and thus only J-20 has it cause its the premium fighter for the PLA. J-35A is supposed to be the cheap multi-role fighter optimized for strike missions.

J-35 is the premier naval fighter and hence should have top notch RAM, J-35A would probably have similar RAM to reduce cost. It's likely that J-35 simply uses a different type of RAM more suited to naval environment.

A few more.

Or J-35 has less RAM due to expected marine degradation on a carrier?

People just overthinking of simple optical illusion and different color schemes. Even nonstealth jets in PLAN and PLAAF have various color schemes, it certainly doesn't mean one is more advanced than the other. Not every detail has a secret to decypher.
