The F-35’s solution to this problem is to carry 4 towed decoys. I guess the towed decoys could have a section added to make them a little maneuverable should the cord need to be detached and the decoy made to intercept the incoming missile. As for shooting down an enemy plane, better to have side bays where a highly maneuverable ever missile can turn to hit the enemy fighter.
Although a directed energy countermeasure (like a laser defense) could be used to blind an enemy fighter pilot if it gets too close and holds still long enough.

How about one missile facing upwards and one facing downwards to shoot at enemy aircrafts up and below. Possibly long range laser weapon will be most suitable.

Can you explain this @Deino @Zarvan @MastanKhan . Does this mean J35 airforce version will be a variant of the J35 Navy version which is nearly ready, so this means rather than spending 10+ years on building/testing a new airforce plane China will be able to get airforce version ready within 4 years time if everything goes well ofcourse, which is around 2028 time.
Can we please stop with this nonsense in a thread about the J-35?
If you really want to discuss such an aerodynamic nonsense, then please start a new thread in the Air Warfare section.
As it seems, yes ... the J-35A at least from the few images known shows the same aerodynamic refinements like the revised naval variant! All what's different - similar to F-35A to F-35C - is the smaller wing & tail and the different landing gear.

Is "REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT" just the other side of the key-fob?

This system is also on the EF and decidedly catered to radar guided systems. Today's infrared detection systems on missiles such as the Python, ASRAAM, 9X-II combined with their high off boresight maneuverability are pushing flares to the limit in their utility and active jamming is the name of the game. Helicopters already employ this but for them it is an easier task with relative velocities compared to constantly maneuvering fighters.
Putting a dazzler on the missile seeker is not an easy feat but a solution - but at the end - if you let an aircraft armed with any of these missile merge with you it is highly likely you will die unless you are this overbuilt all aspect stealth like the F-22.

If the PAF will be getting the export version of the PLAAF A Model; the AE, will the jets be equipped with the same (100 kn) engines WS-19, such that when even more higher thrust WS-19 engines become available, the engines can we swapped at the next overhaul/mlu?

Engaging an ir guided wvr missile close in is the ultimate challenge in difficulty. Perhaps a miniaturized hit to hill system (like the Lockheed MHTK) will be used, but more likely finding a way to getting out of the threat environment will be more optimal.

If FHN tweet he quoted is true then J-35 is already about to enter mass production that means my timeline was right all along. And I had no information, I only based on the fact that Air Chief has said we are inducting J-31 so it can be 4 to 5 yeas away at best 2.5 years away. J-31 is coming was announced at start of this year so by 2.5 to 3 years it should be here by mid or end of 2026.

PAF will probably get J35AE with WS13IPE (less powerful but more mature) engine.
