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

. . .
Isn’t the J-31 known as the “Snowy Owl”? A coy way to hint at the J-31 derivative?

Also, if this fighter is selected, the WS-19 will become a top priority, as it will be the engine that powers this plane, and this plane will be the most frontline fighter deployed of China. If it matches the higher thrust versions of the F414, it will allow the plane to match the TWR of the F-18E/F and the F-35, as well as making the J-35 potentially a top export fighter for decades to come.


But that’s Wang Bingbing. Apparently the first love of many Chinese men.

Hmmm ... I know him quite well but anyway this sounds too good to be true.
real question is not when J35 is going to fly but what is J35?
if its rebranded j31 then ofcourse it can fly

If it’s going to be the premier air defense fighter for the PLAN carrier battle group (The J-15 will probably become the dedicated strike platform and EW platform like the F-18), far away from any other support when on deployment, you can bet it will have to have the best of everything the PLAN can get its hands on. It will almost certainly be on par with the J-20, if only slightly scaled down.

An export variant, with less sensitive systems, and a reduced price, will probably be made a viable soon after for offer to Pakistan, and possibly for Iran, which needs to counter the UAE F-35s (especially once the WS-13E and/or WS-19 are ready, so China can be the only supplier).

if J35 is ready there is no sense in buying j10, even if j35 is delivered 5 years from now it is well worth the wait
even if its priced the twice as much
36 j35s are far better then 72 j10s

sorry, but J35 is not for sales. Just like 052D or 055 not for sales, only 054 or 056 for the export market.

But, it will based on FC-31 which was export oriented, so there is a possibility that Pakistan specific version of J-35 will be still on the card

J-35 is a J/FC-31 variant specialized for EMALS Aircraft Carrier.

Pakistan already have 5th Gen Stealth Fighter Project (PF-X) with China in the name of Project AZM. Based on this J/FC-31.

Anyway I believe, that Pakistan will move to Hi-Lo Combination for their Air Forces. With J/FC-31, and J-10 & JF-17.

Just like China, even they already have J-20, they still pumping out J-10 & J-16 as their Hi-Lo Combination
