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

The Americans are pumping out over 150 F35 per year, I hope China can match
this figure.
 
Chinese source is saying that China has decided to speed up manufacturing of J-35 this year.
Why so fast ??
Surely J-35 is in big demand / orders.

Usa has around 600 5th generation planes for airforce, total around 2000 4th and 5th generation. China is not far behind with 300 5th generation and total around 1800 4th and 5th generation. China will produce 2 5th generation planes whilst work on the 6th generation, they will catch up the Usa very soon and overtake them.

They need a medium weight 5th generation, for airforce and navy, J35 will also be available to Chinese close allies such as Pakistan, not sure who else will buy it, will Egypt be allowed by the USA? Iran a no? Can't see any customers.

The real question is - until that factory comes online - all famtasies of J-35s in Pakistan this year or otherwise lie in fantasia unless some token LRIPs are sent.

Infact @Deino - a recent interview by Acdre Chishti (who is “close” to the leadership circle) was now talking about J-20 in the context that if India gets Su-57 fast and J-35 is not ready Pakistan will ask for J-20.
So basically they underestimated (or were overpromised) delivery schedules and now taking reality checks.

But let’s not dampen the celebrations of “J-35 squadron ready by 2026”

That number is for the USA and its allies who are purchasing the platform. It will be interesting to see how many people (other than Pakistan), will adopt the J-35AE.

Not many countries who want J35 can have it because of western influence.

I’m pretty sure Egypt would be one of the first arab country to get them.

I’m really enjoying the heavy psyops on social media/forums. There was a time in may when most of the people were too sure that we will have J-35s within 2-3 months and then suddenly Khawaja Asif brought a 180 change to the narrative and somehow, most of the people have now let go of their hopes of seeing them in 2025.

What if we suddenly get surprised within few weeks, 2-3 units flying around in PAF colors. That would be really crazy 😂😂

J-35 with FLIR attached.

That’s a raptor! Imagine, a second fiddle of the PLAAF is on par with the top fighter of the USAF.
