If the WS-19 engine achieves 115-120 kn max thrust, the TWR of the J-35 should match that of the F-22. Then these 2D nozzles would really come in handy. Considering the KAAN may take a while to develop and for Pakistan to be able to afford it, Pakistan should hope the J-35 develops into everything the PAF needs at the high end; multirole and air superiority.

Will the cockpit of the J-35 be the same as the J-20 or somewhat different?

Interesting, I just found an image of a J-35 (the one on top) and thought "I know this already but it's slightly different"!

A quick reach resulted in one below, posted in May and allegedly showing prototype no. 350003 aka most likely now '3503'.
