I know that this plane is a little ways off being added, but with the f117 being added stealth planes are on the horizon so this things capabilities should be mentioned. I won’t get into too much detail because I don’t know how to make spoilers.
As far as I know it can only carry 4 pl12’s or pl15’s. And I also think it might be able to carry pl21’s? Not sure on that one.

Its designation changed to J35 no?
Let’s wait and see for Zhuhai airshow, apparently it will be involved in active display.
I’m pretty sure the j35 is the naval variant, bigger wings and reinforced front gear.

I though J-35 was a meme designation because it looks a lot like an F-35
Nope. It’s legit.
I guess someone in the Chinese industry has a sense of humour
What is shown is just a tech demonstrator, the actual J31 and J35 models look very different;

Additional photos of the FC-31 prototype (top) and the pre-production J-35 (bottom)
The primary differences is a much larger wing on the J-35 as opposed to the J-31 as it is intended for naval use.
J-35 is said to appear at Zhuhai soon, there will be better photos of that variant at that time.
J-31 has space between elevators and wing, J-35 has larger wing and the elevators cut into the base of the wing section slightly;
Here is J-35
Let’s see if they display it, Su57 has arrived.
Are you going to the airshow? If so could you get some good pictures of the j31’s missile bay?
Nah.
Wondering if any is though, 80 dollars tickets though.
:( aw man
It’s been officially named the j35, with the j35 being the naval variant and the j35a being the ground based variant. Also officially accepted by the military I think.

Official designation has been give, think accepted cause the serial number is already done in PBs.
