Actually I'm not entirely sure, but if legit, then this is the so far clearest image of the SAC J-XDS!

Looks very agile for its size.

It's a fighter plane and while BVR is all the rage these days, agility is still an important quality.

@NGAD IS THE BEST

Looks like agility is not bad. People always said P-38 agility would suck because of two engines but it turned out pretty agile for its size.

It seems that the rate of flight test for J-36 is about 2x faster than that of J-20, and for J-50, it is about 100x faster than that of J-31/35.

It almost looks like PLAAF want to get some of them for the scenario of a coming war in the very near future.

J-36 is the first fighter jet powered by three engines. It would have to prove its agility the way P-38 did when it was one of the earliest fighter planes powered by two engines.
