PAF J-35AE - News, Updates and Discussions

[Cesur]

So far clearest image of a J-35 - here prototype no. 3503 - flight.

However my feeling tells me this is already an older image only released now since we‘ve seen J-35s already without the pitot & quite strangely the catapult bar is missing.

If you look closely the canopy appears to be J-20 like with those wavy lines

@PakAl
From FC-31 to J-35, there was a long pause and wait in between, and only in the last few years has work resumed.
Although the first flights of the J-20 and FC-31 were relatively close to each other, their completely different identities resulted in a serious lag in the development of the FC-31 (J-35).Some of the new PLA technologies needed to be fully matured on the J20 before they were allowed to be ported over to the J35 for use in the J35. So the actual development time for the J-35 was actually very short.

Thank you for the information.

you mean detonating cord ?

Pardon, which "yellow and black ones we saw before!"?? I actually don't remember a single black one and even more so no yellow one!

Haha, I'm referring to unpainted prototypes.

There is a hint I dropped in this thread about a certain chat I had this Spring visit in Isb.
It was to downplay the need for more than a few prototypes for any future Chinese project and also what certain individuals aspire PAC to do( but is far away)

The best way to explain it is this 6 year old video from LM

J-31 is coming. No doubt about it, the air chief has said so. We can rest assured it will be here before/same time as IAF gets their AMCA.

So the question now is, what missiles will it have? Can we expect to comfortably outrange any BVR the IAF will have. I'm guessing that will be the Meteor and their domestic Astra Mk3.

I read somewhere Pakistan is to get a batch of 40 soon hence the training.

Are they?
When it comes to the process?

Still, where does the money come from?

If your really love your motherland, you would not want PAF to buy 40 J35 in the current period. that is a very huge expenditure. Buying 4-8 J35 is an appropriate number, 12 at the most. Pakistan needs to allocate the money in the right place, arms race is not a good idea.

Hi,

You are a smart man---. You know where the money is coming from---and yet you keep asking---.

Are you a chinese version of deino---. You want a printout of the wire transfer now---.

Unfortunately far too many people still take YouTube clickbate reports as credible ‘news’

Not denying what you are saying, but in the past hasn't it been in multiples of 9?
