Lol, the indian in the comment section, iq 70 at max.

In retrospect, it is a shame that Pakistan went for J-10C... But then again who knows.

This plane will not be exported before 2030~2035,China need 5~7 years to finish all the test of J35.And J35 for now is a shipborne jet,it need more time to R&D a land-based model.

Inducting 36 units of J-10C off-the-shelf is more like a stop gap move, I can also feel the heat from "supapowa". But in the long run getting a land-based variant of J-XY could be a good option for PAF/PAC, there is even an opportunity for J-XY and JF-17 to partially unite their supply chain like med-thrust engine.

According to Sun Cong, the chief designer of J-15 and FC-31, in a press briefing at Zhuhai today, the next generation of carrier based fighter will debut this year.

It comes true in one month. Yay!

Very interesting development.
If this bird manages to get fifth-generation avionics, genuine radar-absorbent material, airframe redesigns to reduce its RCS, and a new suite of AAMs, it might potentially come close to matching the performance of the AMCA in the far future.
Not a bad start for a country that was until very recently still mostly reliant on a geriatric fleet of MiG-21 derivatives and Q-5 Fantans.

that is india;; china DEFINITELY technology power with its massive arms industry;; also a big player in global arms market;; such two can't match against;; one is global arms maker, while the other NEVER made any arms successfully

MY BOY PLAAF ALSO OPERATES HUNDREDS OF J11/SU27/J15/1/ SU30/MKK2 AND J10

It has finally won the heart of PLAN. Good work!

J-35 is the better looking bird of the two from a conventional standpoint.

And if the PLAN does order it - then there is a chance that it will win the heart of the PAF also - I am sure PAF is waiting for China to commit to it first before taking a look ... the memory of PLAAF backing out of the FC-1/JF-17 procurement still stings in the minds of the PAF.

I am not sure but I think being Carrier borne there must be some kind of wheel reinforcement.

This looks more similar except Air Intakes

For Pakistan, while it stings that they didn’t commit to procuring their own, at least the selection of the J-35 by the PLAN will mean accelerated development of the “Medium Thrust” Engine. Supposedly this plane flew with the WS-21 engines, although I doubt they would do that on a maiden flight.

If the Engine catches up the GE F-414 Engines; it could allow the JF-17 to have the same thrust as our F-16 Block 52s (and maybe able to match the UAE block 60s) allowing the plane to have the electrical power to be a match for any F-16 variant, if we so choose to upgrade our JF-17s down the line. It would give new impetus for a further development of the type, if they know that a much more powerful engine (20-30% increase in thrust, super-cruise) would come available down the line.

It would open up potentially more export customers as well, especially if a reduced RCS follow on design were developed; with two variants; one manned and one unmanned (loyal wingman). Something for those “Non-aligned” nations and neutrals.

For J-35 or FC-31, I will still reserve my choice since missing of side-bays especially for side-winders/AAMs. With only one bay under belly, somehow limits the utilization under environment that warrants stealth capability to the fullest.
