Zhuhai Airshow 2024

[iblini]

J35 has not yet entered service, maybe in the next 2 years, although not much info is available regarding how many prototypes are built, we do know alot of work and testing is being done on it. It's very exciting news, it will have the latest technologies, I am hopeful it will be upgraded to 5.5th generation, possibly incorporate some 6th generation technology.

The airforce official weibo account posted the photo with airforce paint scheme, I'd say that means its pretty official, it's unlikely they would bring a prototype to the airshow, anyway let's wait for another 8 days.

It is surely not in service … but it is proof the PLAAF is also interested , involved and may get it indeed before the navy

Have you seen this photo, the airforce is celebrating and marking its 75th birthday on a J35...it is more than just "interested".

I totally agree, but first you know my stance and to be careful with such bolt claims "it's already in service" and second, an operational aircraft would carry different markings in PLAAF service. This is however proof - and indeed the discussion on is there any PLAAF-interest in that type - can be put to an end!

Any news if KJ600 is coming, it has many prototypes and is not too far from induction.

The KJ600 is part of the PLAN's equipment.
The current arrivals are PLAAF aircraft, the PLAN hasn't started coming in yet. Please be patient.

The CH-7 large stealth drone has a wingspan of 27.3 meters, a maximum take-off weight of 8,000 kilograms, a ceiling of 16,000 meters, and a maximum flight time of 16 hours.

No any video about the CH-7 ( first flight - test flights )

Airshows aren't all about drones. It includes fighters, AWACS, transport aircraft, air tankers, and possibly bombers.

Why do you only care about the flooring of the aviation industry ~ drones？
