Yeah, and you can see the Pakistan AF markings on it
Yeah, I'm gonna punch whoever's blurring this photo too.
Claimed to be a J-31/35X taking-off.
But this should also mean that there is actually a clear, detailed version of this photo hidden somewhere.

Based on the hump it must be a J-35.
The poster of this image said it's the AF variant of the J-35. The front landing gear does seem slimmer.
I think we and esp. you should calm down. The PLAAF has in fact only ONE stealth fighter in service. Surely it does not have the J-35, which is a PLAN project and even more so the rumoured JH-26 is at bets at the moment a project if not a pure hoax!
I GOT THE ORIGINAL SHOTS!
Undoubtedly the air force J-35 and not the FC-31s. Slim landing gear, hump, EOTS, etc.
I must've been under a rock, was unaware there were going to be multiple J-35 variants for land and sea instead of J-35 and FC/J-31!
Does this mean FC/J-31(?) are likely to be purely exports now?
There are new, currently unconfirmed rumors (IIRC from last week?) that the air force J-35 derivative will be under the J-35 name, like J-35(X).
They could either pull a Lockheed Martin and do J-35A/B or do J-35J and J-35K (J for jian 舰 and K for 空). If they would proceed with an export variant, then either a J-35E or straight up J-31.
These are just unconfirmed whispers for now. We'll find out.
