I would have expected more from both a "mod" and someone who is supposed to be some sort of expert on the PLAAF.
Look at what the F-35 was designed to do and its specs like lack of supercruise and top speed etc are all known.
J-31 is designed for AIR SUPREMACY in the Pacific Ocean. It will have higher top speed, altitude and will supercruise at high Mach-1 as soon as the WS-19 engines are ready.
USN is rushing to get a next-gen fighter out as soon as possible. It will not want to face J-35s with "jack of all trades" F-35.
And why do we need to know ANYTHING about the J-35s avionics? For all we know they could be a quantum jump ahead of whatever is in the F-35. That logic is really for simpletons and those that are biased as China has now caught up with the leaders in both radar and avionics technology.
What do we know about the WS-19s? When will they be ready?
