The J-35A is equipped with the Chinese-designed WS-19 engine, believed to operate more efficiently than the Russian-made engines used in the rest of its fleet, marking a significant step forward for China's stealth technology and military capabilities.
Wang Yongqing noted that the J-35A is intended to act as a 'basketball point guard,' forming a killing network on the battlefield, which emphasizes its strategic significance in modern combat scenarios.
The unveiling of the J-35A indicates China's growing military aspirations, as it now stands as the second nation to possess two stealth fighters, highlighting its advancements in airpower and competition with the US.
As China develops a carrier-based variant of the J-35, it signals an intent to bolster its naval air dominance, potentially escalating tensions in maritime regions contested by the US.
