From @huitong : "The domestic land-based variant for PLAN might be called J-35."

Where did he get the idea that this is a land-based variant rather than carrier-based?

Maybe there will be a land-base variant and a carrier based one. But that doesn't make much sense either since both are operated by navy.

Two naval variants do make sense. However, why did Huitong think that the recent rumor was talking about a land-based variant?

A better translation would be preferred, though.

They probably won't want to lose the V2 prototype at the show. But the V1 prototype might still show up I guess. Still in past shows what happened is they just showed models of the current design configuration. I guess we'll have to see.
