China will officially debut the Shenyang J-35A, its latest stealth fighter aircraft, at the 2024 Zhuhai Airshow, which is set to take place from 12 to 17 November.
The J-35A is expected to be the land-based variant of the J-35, a new carrier fighter the Shenyang Aircraft Corporation (SAC) is developing for the People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN).
However, it now appears that the SAC J-35A will be marketed to the People’s Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) as well as key overseas buyers, such as Pakistan, which committed to buying the fighter (then called the J-31) at the start of 2024.
The J-35 and J-35A are further developments of the FC-31/J-31, which SAC had originally developed for the export market as an alternative to the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II.
