Weichert.<\/p>\n<p>Developed by Shenyang Aircraft Corporation, the J-35A is China\u2019s second fifth-gen aircraft after the Chengdu J-20. It is equipped with an active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar, electro-optical targeting systems, and advanced avionics to enhance situational awareness and targeting precision.<\/p>\n<p>Designed to evade detection, the aircraft\u2019s stealth profile reduces its radar cross-section. It is compatible with long-range PL-15 and PL-17 air-to-air missiles, offering a major advantage in beyond-visual-range combat.<\/p>\n<p>Powered by Russian RD-93 or Chinese WS-19 turbofan engines, the J-35A can reach speeds of up to 1,367 mph. Deliveries to Pakistan could begin by August, with pilots already undergoing training in China.<\/p>\n<p>The jet is expected to replace Pakistan\u2019s aging fleet of F-16s and Mirages. Weichert notes that the J-35A\u2019s capabilities will enable Pakistan to better counter Indian air defences and conduct deep-strike missions, potentially shifting the regional aerial balance.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shares of Chinese defence firms jumped Monday after reports of Pakistan&#8217;s plans to purchase advanced J-35 stealth fighter jets from China, according to a Bloomberg report.
