What's new

J-XY - maybe J-35 - next generation carrier-borne fighter

A leaked image of what appears to be a front-opening canopy. Possibly that of the J-XY.

New Assembly plant in Shenyang to assemble the J-35. Does anything in the picture of this plant indicate that SAC has won the contract to supply the PLAN with J-35 fighters?

Also, at the end of the video it indicates China just (end of 2021) completed an assembly plant for the J-20, so production. Numbers maybe ramping up very soon.

 
I have proved that the picture of the comparison of J-20 and J-35 is misleading. The proportion is completely wrong.

It may still have the same side of weapon bay, we will know when we see the belly one day.
J35 does not have side weapon bays, and its main weapon bay has the same size that of the J-20, if not bigger``````end of discussion

J-20 and J-35 is going to station same weapon systems in their weapon bays, and due to the nature of it\s playground, J-35 will have to carry more types air-to-surface weapons, some of them are not as small and slim as PL-12/15, even though they were specially designed for stealth fighter's confined weapon bays.

domestic F-35 has integrated PL-10 into its weapon bay, thanks to its new fire and lock capability. However, the export version of F-35 does not have such capability for the time being, maybe they will incorporate it later? dont know yet`````

people saying that this 31 project has been going on for too long, and yet without considerable amount of testing fighters been seen, so loads people speculate on this project.

however, what I have to say is that, this plane if by far the most technologically integrated, reliable, advanced, efficient and complex than any of other projects in China.

18m+/- in length, 28t+/- in maximum take-off weights (will be more when WS-19 is ready), 1000 KM+ combat radius (stealth mode), optical sensor fusion technology can detect and track F-22 sized target at the distance of 1XX km, latest AESA radar and EW suite was a WoW to those top bosses who had introduced

J-20 was never a contender of China's carrier based fighter````` this wishful thinking is rather amusing to say the least

Yes, that's from early 2019 when WS-19 prototype first got test verified, so WS-19 should be ready for J-35 serial production.

If that's the case then this is even bigger news than I expected. WS-19 progress is further ahead than WS-15.

This is why Pakistan shouldn't fear engine issue for JF-17.
