As I already said in the PAF thread! He is an idiot and spreader of any news as long as they generate clicks!

This is not Pakistan‘s first J-35, but AVICs first J-35AE prototype and no-one so far from the CHinese side has confirmed it to be for Pakistan … we therefore should be careful with such claims and overhyped posts!

Through your hat in the ring and tell us the earliest possible indication date .
 
The Liaoning aircraft carrier strike group has deployed to the Western Pacific to conduct open-ocean training. In a news broadcast, CCTV hinted that takeoff and landing tests for the J-35 carrier-based fighter jet on board the Liaoning may be conducted during this period......

* The aircraft carrier *Liaoning* underwent significant modifications during its major overhaul a few years ago. It is speculated that it may now possess the capability to launch and recover J-35 carrier-based fighter jets.

“China’s J-35 “Beast Mode” Just Shocked the Aviation World!” China’s new J-35 stealth fighter has appeared in a powerful new “Beast Mode” configuration, carrying external PL-15 long-range missiles and raising major questions about the future of stealth aviation.

In this episode, we explore why China is testing this setup, how the J-35 compares to the F-35 and J-20, and what this means for next-generation airpower strategy.

We also break down the role of the PL-15 missile, China’s growing carrier aviation program, and how stealth fighters are evolving beyond traditional designs.

Could the J-35 become one of the world’s most important fifth-generation fighters? Watch now as we analyze the technology, strategy, and global implications behind China’s latest J-35 development.

China launches 5th Generation J-35AE stealth fighter for the foreign market27/05/2026 | Fabio Di Felice
As showed on CCTV footage, China launched its 5th Generation J-35AE jet in the stealth fighter jets market. The new variant of the Chinese aircraft J-35 CLOUD DRAGON, developed by AVIC (Aviation Industry Corporation of China), is designed for export to non-Western countries. Pakistan is one of the potential customers targeted by the new development, given its interest in acquiring up to 40 of these aircraft, according to the South China Morning Post (SCMP).Combined with Chinese ISR, J-35AEs could be used to penetrate gaps in India’s air defenses to strike deep, including against nuclear-linked targets.

The J-35 platform, which Beijing presented in 2021 and began flying in September 2023, is advertised as equipped with state-of-the-art sensors, high maneuverability, and the ability to operate in highly contested environments. Like the F-35, which it resembles in appearance except for the fact it is equipped with 2 engines, the J-35AE is designed and built to enhance stealthiness. It includes the integration of sensors and weapons internally, thus eliminating the need for external hardpoints that would compromise its radar signature. The J-35AE joins the 2 other existing variants of the J-35: the CLOUD DRAGON, the conventional one of the model, already in service in China with the PLAAF, and the J-35 BLUE SHARK, which is the Navy variant developed for carrier operations, equipped with a reinforced landing gear, including 2 front wheels, an arresting hook, and folding wings. According to the American media, more than 57 aircraft of the various J-35 variants have been built.

At the present, footage shown on CCTV highlighted design features such as an internally integrated electro-optical targeting system (EOTS), suggesting that the new Chinese aircraft is a mature, combat-ready platform suitable for export.

The Liaoning aircraft carrier was photographed during a training exercise. J-35 fighter jets appeared to be present. However, the image is blurry, and further evidence is needed.
