On November 8th, the highly anticipated Chinese new stealth fighter, the J-35A, appeared over Zhuhai Jinwan Airport and conducted its first field adaptation training.

The J-35A is an air force variant developed by the Shenyang Aircraft Design and Research Institute of the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC) and manufactured by AVIC Shenyang Aircraft Company. It is a new-generation stealth multi-purpose fighter that integrates aerodynamic, structural, and stealth design.

Regarding the characteristics of the newly unveiled aircraft, military expert Fu Qianshao notes that it is a comprehensive medium-sized stealth fighter that fully meets the future needs of the Chinese military.

"The primary criterion for a stealth fighter is its stealth capability, which includes radar stealth, infrared stealth, optical stealth, acoustic stealth and other aspects. Based on the design of the J-35A and the materials and coatings it used, I personally believe that the J-35A has currently the best stealth performance in the world."

Fu also noted that the J-35A has a relatively high fuel capacity, which allows for a longer combat radius, faster flight speed, and potentially greater service ceiling and payload capabilities, giving it an edge in maneuverability over its competitors.

Military expert Li Li stated that the impact of the J-35A on both national defense and international competition is significant and undeniable.

Li believes that the debut of the J-35A means that the Chinese Air Force now genuinely possesses two types of stealth fighters, and it is very likely that no third country will be able to equip itself with such capabilities for a considerable amount of time in the future.

万众期待的歼-35A来了！

今天（11月8日），万众期待的中国新型隐形战机歼-35A出现在珠海金湾机场上空，并进行了首次场地适应性训练。

歼-35A空军型飞机，是由中国航空工业集团沈阳飞机设计研究所研制、中国航空工业集团沈飞公司生产的新一代隐身多用途歼击机，采用气动、结构与隐身一体化设计。

关于新亮相的战机特点，军事专家傅前哨认为，它是一款非常全面的中型隐身战斗机，完全可以满足我军未来的需求。

“隐身战机的第一项指标就是隐身，包括好几个方面：雷达隐身、红外隐身、光学隐身、声学隐身等。从歼-35A的外观设计来看，以及它采用的材料涂料等来看，我个人认为歼-35A目前的隐身性能排世界第一。”

傅前哨还表示，歼-35A的载油系数比较高，因此作战半径更远、飞行速度也更快，升限或载弹能力或也更大，在机动性某些方面优于对手。

军事专家李莉表示，歼-35A在国防、国际竞争领域的影响都不言而喻。

李莉认为，歼-35A的这次亮相，使得中国空军从当下开始，真正意义上拥有了两款隐身战斗机，很可能在今后相当长的时间里，不会有第三个国家能够装备。
