Navy Fleet of the People’s Liberation Army of China (NAMF NAK) took another step towards the elimination of the latest advantages over the US forces (Navy), receiving a new deck stealth fighter, known as J-35, writes Breaking Defense .
The American publication notes that the officials from Washington have caused concern new pictures of the J-35, which appeared on the network, where the Chinese aircraft is located next to the aircraft carrier. According to the officer of the intelligence department of the US Navy Captain James Pannel, Namp NAK “continues to turn into the most powerful fleet of the planet.”
Breaking Defense reminds that J-35, previously known as J-31, in appearance resembles the American fighter fifth generation F-35 Lightning II, differing from the last presence of two engines instead of one. The publication notes that the first versions of the J-31 received Russian power units.
According to Plynell, the reason why the developments of Beijing continue to be surprised in Washington, “it is the absence of transparency from the Chinese side.”
In June 2020, Popular Mechanics magazine wrote that in the case of the adoption of the aircraft, J-35 China will become the second after the US country, which is immediately light (medium) and heavy fighters of the fifth generation. The American publication drew attention to the publication in the Chinese press, according to which the flight tests of the new fighter fighter of the fifth generation are scheduled. Initially, such fighters received Russian power plants, and preparing tests of the new FC-31 may indicate how the magazine wrote that China has coped with the task of importing relevant engines. According to Popular Mechanics, J-35 will receive a third Chinese aircraft carrier equipped with an electromagnetic catapult.
