Chinese SAC - FC-31/J-35 5th Gen Stealth Aircraft

Wait. What ?! Which "military aircraft" is china importing ?! And from whom ?

He is talking about export order. China got orders of 90 military aircraft. I believe some of them are from Pakistan comprising on both J-35As and J-10Cs.

If you are referring solely to the performance of the fighter jets, then I agree with your point of view.

However, if we broaden our scope to include export sales, then I do not entirely agree.

China's efforts regarding the export of fighter jets remain extremely arduous and challenging. This will require a great deal of time.
In the short term, foreign sales of the J-35 fighter jet remain unable to compete with the F-35, making it difficult for the two to establish a competitive rivalry.

China's biggest user of weapons and with proven combat experience is Pakistan.......this is where Pakistan can help China export J-35s......because Pakistan has strong diplomatic relations with many nations, especially those in Middle East with lots of money.

GCC countries might be looking at J-35s........considering that USA isn't that reliable of a partner for them anymore.

However, it is 100% certain that the radome of the J-35 is slightly larger than that of the F-35.

It is 90% certain that it is not larger than that of F-35.

from the pictures it is difficult to tell but i have seen some chinese members here on this platform who says J35 Radar is equal in size to that of F35? @Deino what is your take on it? as you can compare their radome size well by scaling images of both fighters such that they represent their original dimensions?

Really? IMO the J-35's radar is clearly larger.

It is 90% certain that it is not larger than that of F-35.

Based on what?

Seems as if a naval J-35 was seen again with pylons and/or even carrying two AAMs. (Via @鼎盛大彪)

Is it me or is this a J-35A? ... and I do not know this Weibo account?!

PS: that small intake on the left air intake makes it clearly a naval bird!

He is a relatively well-known Aviation photography blogger.

According to his original post, this photograph comes from the portfolio of an avid angler in a certain region of northern China. Link

My word, the J50 looks much bigger than I expected.

It's not that big but around flanker size.

JF-17 is not a PLAAF fighter.
