BEIJING, Nov. 6 -- The J-35A medium-sized multi-role stealth fighter jet is set to debut at the 15th China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition, also known as Airshow China 2024. Experts have offered insights into the features of the J-35A fighter jet.

作為新中型隱身多用途戰(zhàn)斗機(jī)，第十五屆中國(guó)航展期間殲-35A將公開亮相。相關(guān)軍事專家對(duì)殲-35A的特點(diǎn)進(jìn)行了簡(jiǎn)要解讀。

The J-35 represents a family of fighter jets

殲-35是一個(gè)系列

Wang Yongqing, chief expert at the Shenyang Aircraft Design and Research Institute of the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC) , revealed that the J-35 represents a family of fighter jets. The J-35 series is designed to be one platform with multiple variants for both Chinese air and naval forces. Thanks to the re-use of technologies, the new aircraft features highly mature technology and system, which in turn improve its reliability. The "A" in the J-35A denotes its capability status, indicating a phase in its development, which is still underway and in order.

中國(guó)航空工業(yè)集團(tuán)沈陽(yáng)所首席專家王永慶透露：殲-35是一個(gè)系列。殲-35系列是“一機(jī)多型，空海孿生”，很多技術(shù)的復(fù)用大大提高了關(guān)鍵技術(shù)的成熟度。技術(shù)成熟度高、系統(tǒng)成熟度高，裝備的可靠性也會(huì)大幅提高。殲-35A中的“A”，則代表它的能力狀態(tài)，代表它處在發(fā)展過程中的某一個(gè)階段，說明我們還在有序推進(jìn)中。  

Differences between J-35A and J-20 fighter jets

殲-35A和殲-20有何不同之處？

Wang Mingzhi, a military analyst, explained that the J-20 is categorized as a heavy-duty stealth fighter jet , whereas the J-35A is a medium-sized multi-role stealth fighter jet. The primary distinction is that the J-20 focuses on air superiority missions, while the J-35A  is versatile, capable of pursuing air superiority and accomplishing a variety of ground and maritime strike missions. In future operations, these two aircraft can precisely target at both land and sea objectives in a coordinated manner, thus playing a crucial role for achieving air superiority.

軍事專家王明志說：殲-20屬于重型隱身戰(zhàn)斗機(jī)，而殲-35A相當(dāng)于一款中型隱身多任務(wù)戰(zhàn)斗機(jī)。它們之間的差別在于殲-20主要執(zhí)行制空作戰(zhàn)任務(wù)，而殲-35既可以執(zhí)行制空作戰(zhàn)任務(wù)，同時(shí)也可以執(zhí)行對(duì)地、對(duì)海多種突擊任務(wù)。因此在未來作戰(zhàn)過程中，兩者可以進(jìn)行組合作戰(zhàn)，同時(shí)對(duì)地面、海面目標(biāo)進(jìn)行精準(zhǔn)打擊。這兩者的組合對(duì)于奪取制空權(quán)，可以發(fā)揮非常重要的作用。

China becomes the second nation with two types of stealth fighter jets

中國(guó)是第二個(gè)同時(shí)有兩款隱形戰(zhàn)機(jī)的國(guó)家

Wang Mingzhi also noted that the Chinese PLA Air Force (PLAAF) now possesses two types of stealth fighter jets, marking that China's air power is rapidly evolving towards stealth capabilities. A range of mission combinations can be anticipated in future operations. Additionally, a significant trend will be the pairing of stealth fighter jets with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). This symbolizes a key development in aerial warfare: the synergy between manned and unmanned systems.

軍事專家王明志指出：目前，中國(guó)空軍已經(jīng)同時(shí)裝備了兩型隱身作戰(zhàn)飛機(jī)，標(biāo)志著中國(guó)空軍主干裝備已經(jīng)進(jìn)一步加速向隱身方向進(jìn)行轉(zhuǎn)型。在未來作戰(zhàn)過程中，可以出現(xiàn)多種的任務(wù)組合模式。同時(shí)還會(huì)出現(xiàn)一種非常重要的模式，那就是隱身作戰(zhàn)飛機(jī)與無人作戰(zhàn)飛機(jī)進(jìn)行組合，這也代表著空中作戰(zhàn)一個(gè)非常重要的發(fā)展方向，就是有人與無人的結(jié)合。
