The Shenyang Aircraft Corporation's J-35 is elevating China's naval capabilities, potentially shifting the balance of power at sea in favor of the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN).
The aircraft is still in the development phase and will have to be able to handle ski-jump and electromagnetic catapult systems, analyst says.
Reports have circulated online that a mockup of China's J-35 carrier-capable fighter aircraft was being employed in tests aboard the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) aircraft carrier Liaoning.
The deal to buy fifth-generation FC-31 Gyrfalcon jets reflects Pakistan and China’s ‘joint strategy and synergy to neutralise the threat emanating from India’, analysts say.
Also known as the FC-31, the prototype looks like the naval variant of the Chinese Shenyang J-35 and is a direct competitor to the America's F-35 II Lightning, widely regarded as the most advanced fighter jet in the world.
