China’s air force is set to officially debut its new stealth fighter jet, the J-35A, at an upcoming air show in Zhuhai. The J-35A is designed for air combat operations and air-to-surface attacks, showcasing China's efforts to modernize its military capabilities and assert its presence in Asia. This new addition to China's fleet is seen as a strategic move to match the United States' stealth fighter capabilities.
The J-35A is the second stealth fighter jet developed by China, following the J-20 that entered service in 2017. Stealth fighters are designed to evade radar detection, allowing for covert missions and enhanced combat capabilities. The J-35A is expected to further strengthen China's air and sea combat capabilities, potentially serving as a carrier-based aircraft in the future.
