The current J-31 is completely different. It is now available in version 3.0.
Yea he is not going to say that. It is called ostrich strategy 😂😂
No J-31 exists, only FC-31 for the export market. Only fighters procured by the Chinese Air Force will have the J prefix added. Because of the Chinese Air Force is in dire need of a medium-sized stealth naval fighter, the developers of the FC-31 seized the opportunity to transform the FC-31 into a fighter that the Chinese air force was willing to purchase and named the J-35.

@@bobbyr8071"I can't see it, I can't see it. USA is the best. Hooray, USAF win!" 😂
No one will buy that its will be made a practice target of the US fighters aircraft.
The B-52 black smoke on takeoff results from the use of water injection. I flew the old D model, which had turbojets, so we really needed it to get that 450,000 pounds off the ground.
BUFF
My Dad repaired them at Barksdale AF BASE at the big hanger during the Vietnam War when I was a kid in the 1960's and 70's.
The BIG Hanger is there on the flightline and it could hold 4 B-52's with the doors closed, and tail section sticking out.
Well this is not water injection the smoke is black the Chinese are using different type of jet fuel if you see the Russian bomber Tupolev Tu-160 the smoke is bright orange yellowish color for that reason there burning kerosene for fuel
KC I35 aerial tankers had water injection too to increased O2 density in the intake for takeoff.
China copying the canopy on the naval variant is absolutely hilarious. They even kept the "hunchback" of the F-35B. It just screams, "I copied your homework. I do not have the ability to make a jet like this without stealing secrets."
Honest we stold Hitler's designs for jet propulsion. So we aren't exactly 💯 legit in technology.
@@choward874 That's incorrect. Jet propulsion was simultaneously developed in Germany, the US and the UK. Definitely not saying the US and every other allied Victor combed over German designs after the war, but the statement that the allies just took and copied jet propulsion from Germany is patently false.
So, imperialist running dog! The J-35 has superior radar signature due to bamboo wing struts covered with rice paper. Hopefully, it will not be flown during monsoon season.
Aside from dalstrong kitchen knives I don’t know of anything of any quality made in China.
@@rustyshaklferd1897 Domestic propaganda. The PRC is fantastic at creating propaganda aimed towards it's Han Chinese population.
Last week I had two Norwegian f35s flying really low above me, saw almost every detail under the aircraft and the sound was amazing
Just to note: The F-35 drag chute is currently only on the Norwegian jets, primarily to provide assistance on icy runways and in thinner air, although it also cuts the landing distance by a significant margin. In 2020, the Finns (Finland) were reported to acquire data on Norwegian experience with the chute in relation to their road-base concept.
Why don't airliners use chutes? Surely they would save money on brakes ?
@@MultiDrew83 Look up why drogue chutes are used. It wouldn’t be useful on airliner, they already use thrust reversers to slow themselves down.
@@jerrell1169 yup, they dont need the chutes thanks to that
Well he does clearly say why and when drogues would be used...
Bjornar, Did you not hear him say that exact same thing?

@@MarYo88888 lol 😆 😂 🤣
My dad was an senior engineer for skunkworks on both f35 and f22. Also now after 35 yrs with them retired and is with NASA on the SLS . The stuff i have talked with him about that he can tell me the foreign 5 gen are equal to our 4th. Our weapon systems are 30yrs more advanced. NGAD is going to blow minds!!
Lucky you. There is a CZcams video of an engineer giving a detailed tour of the SR-71 engine design, which was very interesting as well. I know that the reason the Russian 5th Gen or China's cannot compete with the F-22/F-35 is the AESA radar and engines. The F-35's engine, because it was designed to be single engine, had to be over engineered in the reliability department. Getting the Navy to sign on, who usually prefers dual engine because you are over open ocean, meant that the engine had to super reliable.
China will copy it sooner or later. As soon as they can sneak more people into the companies or blackmail someone.
I can’t wait to see the NGADs official design I think I seen somewhere they should be picking the winner next year
The F22 first flew in 1997. Imagine the advances that have been made in the 26 years since. The NGAD will be amazing.
@joebartles3986 F23 was an excellent stealth fighter but wasn't selected over the F22.
F-22 STEALTH is far superior than the CHINESE J-31.
F-22 CAN BE ON YOUR 6 and you wouldn't know it.
F15 EX is going to be a beast of burden on the foreign fighter/bombers with F-22/F-35 flying cap/BIG BROTHER.
F-15 or F-18 in super cruise mode takes the forward "INTERCEPTER" ROLE at lower altitude as the stealthy F-22/F35 pounces with their over the horizon radar locks of FIRE AND FORGET TARGETING.
NOT TO MENTION THE AWACS FLYING CAP is like having extra eyes.
In WW2, P-38's were a welcomed sights when the corsair weren't fast enough or powerful enough to win against the zeros.
P-38's flew cap over the transitioning Corsairs getting jumped by Japanese zeros.
Airshow is loved everywhere in every culture. Greetings from Tunisia.
the reason why the "j-35" uses two engine is because they cant make a single engine strong enough to be like the f-35
J-35 uses 2 engines mainly because of efficiency and better failsafe as proven by F/A-18E. US Navy pilots don't really like the F-35C impractical design but there's nothing they can do about it since DOD wanted an aircraft that could serve USAF, USN, USMC with aircraft designed for STOVL resulted in slow speed with great inefficiency in cruising.
Had the DOD offers separate contract for US Navy stealth fighter, either Northrop Grumman or Boeing would have come up with fighter around 60ft having large main internal bay + 2 sidebays max speed Mach 1.8+.
Nope, it's the same reason why the F16 lose out to the f18 for carrier deployments.
Though single engines itself isn't a strict requirement, there is a reason why only the F35 is the only modern carrier based jet that has a single engine while the rest of the world uses 2.
Not exactly.
F-35 is VTOL jet.
It needs a powerful engine for obvious reason.
J-35 is not VTOL jet. It doesn't need something that over kills.
@Ajay Kumar Singh you do know that thr f-35 have 3 variants right? The B version is VTOL. Not the A and C version
@@jayjay53313 no it's because Chinese engines are so bad they can't get off the ground with full fuel and weapons load in a lot of cases
If Harbor Freight made an F-22/F-35 hybrid...
J-35 and the SU-75 are both gonna be future competitors to the F-35🥶🥶🥶
Some notes from a member of the China watcher community.
The black FC-31 demonstrator which first flew in 2012 was very far from a ready fighter and was initially intended as a budget stealth fighter for the export market. It used RD-33 engines from a Mig 29.
It was later used as the basis and developed into the J-35 (no official name exist yet) with the first real prototype flying in 2021. J-35 will be a naval stealth fighter intended for China's new catobar carriers so equivalent of the F35C, it is unclear if there will be a version intended for the air force as well. The design have changed over the years and originally the canopy opened backwards, only last year did they swap it so they must have found some reason.
In general we have very little information on the plane, the engines are a version of the WS-13 engine but the final engine is supposed to be the in development WS-19. Most guesses put its IOC around 2025.
Also didn't anotger f35 recently crashed
Some people are calling it the J31
i think J31/35 will be a medium air superiority fighter like a mini J20 as the twin engine will not give much room for a big internal weapon bay... so the multirole stays with J15
This is my fighter jet guy I go to. He does a great job explaining things to a guy like me who loves these jets but has never been on one. Keep up the good work Bud..
Glad to hear!! More on the way my friend
Man.. the F-4 was bad about black smoke initially due to low engine temperatures. Unfortunately, raising that temperature cleared up the smoke, but led to increased engine wear.
Two of worst mistakes one can ever make: 1. to underestimate one's opponent and 2. to make assumptions about one's opponent.
Yup. Exactly what NATO did in Ukraine before Russia handed them their ass.
@@williamsmith7340 🤣OK
@@usnchief1339 Well Chief, here I go, making one of my own assumptions. Much, much respect to you and the U.S. Navy. Unfortunately, the chicken hawk warmongers in Washington seem intent upon getting the Navy into a war with China that it cannot win. Quite aside from hypersonic “carrier killers” with ranges far greater than carrier aircraft, there is the stark reality that American financiers have destroyed the country’s industrial capacity, having exported much of it to China. America currently possesses 1% of the world’s ship building capacity, while China has over 40%. This is an even greater disparity than the Japanese faced after their Pearl Harbour moment. And despite having the world’s best warships, best aircraft and naval aviators at that time, they were doomed to lose due to America’s vastly superior industrial capacity. As usual, the only winners in America will not be the heroes on the boats, but the tribe on Wall Street rubbing their hands together and salivating over their profits.
@@williamsmith7340😂
If the F-35 is bulky look at how much bulkier these J31/J35 look. With low-efficiency engines, they have had to pack more fuel into the plane making it longer as well. Therefore, Thrust to weight ratio is probably not as good as western jets.
I'm afraid to disappoint you, at present, the Chinese turbofan 15 vector high-thrust engine has been successfully developed and began to do machine experiments, and the only shortcomings of their fighters have been repaired
J35 is far better than F35 in terms of supercruise and maneuverability. F35's single engine is one of its main weakness, as its high bypass ratio makes its performance deteriorate severely in high speed. But this dude makes it sound like a strength
That Chinese bird looks more like an F-22 to me with its slightly forward leaning vertical stabs to the twin engines, or maybe a conglomeration of both the 22 and the 35.
Yeah, it looks like they tried to make an F-22 out of the F-35 plans they supposedly got.
I feel a lot safer knowing America has fighter pilots like this protecting us.
I think it's called FC-31 (the name originally used by Shenyang)/ J-35 (designation given by PLAAF).
Btw, the reason for that large an air speed tube might be that the performing jet is mainly used for test flights, so it need to gather more data. Guess it won't be seen on jet if it enters mass production.

The jet in this video is J31 NOT J35. We should name it J31 V1 prototype. It seems to be equipped with AL 31 or RD-93 Russian engines. The lastest J35(J31 V3) stealth jet has equipped with WS-19. The flame color should be blue instead of yellow and the Jet # should be 35XXX instead of 31XXX in the video.

They do drag chutes because they want to reduce the damage to the brakes, it will be easier to maintain during training times. I suspect that they will do no chutes doing war times
Love your videos, absolutely fantastic, and thank you for your service as a US Air Force fighter pilot. I didn't serve in the Air Force, although I did serve in the British military for 23 years.
Keep these fantastic videos coming, thank you so much.
The airframe looks like a hybrid if the F22 and the F35.
Correction: The MiG-23 had the naval F-4 intakes, not the MiG-25/31. The design for that specific jet was taken from the A-5 Vigilante, as that was an upcoming western interceptor in the works at the time (but was ultimately scrapped due to projected costs and the technology already being obsolete by the time of consideration). The F-4 had nothing to do with the MiG-25's development.
A-5 was never an interceptor nor planned to be one. A-5’s did enter service but were all eventually converted to RA-5 recon planes when it became clear strategic bombing from carriers was redundant.
@@jerrell1169 There was actually an interceptor version planned, but it never came to fruition; though it did spark the whole interceptor/fleet defense program that would lead on to develop the F-111B and F-14A.
The Vigilante was a beautiful airplane!
A very good western point of view with honest opinions and/or doubts. Keep up the good work!
Thanks, will do!
I love how this guy isn't mad about China stealing western designs, he just appreciates a cool jet, speaks to the level of confidence he has in U.S. fighters.
Thing is a spitting image of an f-22 from the ground and a 35 from the top
Hey brother jsut wanted to say GREAT CHANNEL man!!! Honestly keep it up, content is amazing, sounds and video is epic, info is insane as a real fighter pilot and man your personality is so dang positive and happy , thanks for that and Thankyou for your service!
Stumbled upon this video....Glad I did. First, you have a great presence, which makes it cool to watch. Second, in this video, I appreciated the objective way that you reviewed the J-35. I'm newly subscribed, and I look forward to watching more of your content. Be well.
With the shape of its tail fins and having two engines, the rear half and side profile looks more like an F-22 than an F-35.
found you. I was going to write the same thing, but add its more of a hybrid rear/f-22 front/f35.
I am a _Bubblehead_ so my knowledge of _Fly Boy_ kit is limited. But to my limited understanding, it looks like the _Chinese Air Force_ designed us a place to put _Sidewinder Missiles._
I could be wrong. _But I'm not._
You got that right my friend! Laughing mfao...
a problem with them copying certain design aspects without exactly having the same reasons is that they wont learn the same lessons or have tried different ideas that affected other factors, and they wont learn that either
Hunter Biden can only sell them bits and pieces so it get Frankenstein together.
Heat seaking missile is really gonna love that black smoke 😂
Very true
Took in the 2023 Sun & Fun Airshow at Lakeland, Fl this year and was thrilled to see the USAF F-35A and the Marine Corp F-35B put on a show!
j 31/35 looks like a f-22 and an f-35 got busy together and had a baby!
Not enough people appreciate the fact that we are all restricted by physics.😂 But I think you’re right. Likely a JSF since China already has the j-20 airframe to upgrade for air superiority. Once China figures their engine situation out they will be a contender.

@@didyoumissedmegobareatersk2204 not like within the last week no.
Agree on your statement. China philosophy is - from nothing to have something first. They may copy other initially but they will improvised to better one day. Many western commentator simply don’t realised the fact that when USA flying their most advanced F14 at 20 years ago, the world simply don’t even discuss any China made aircraft. But today, people compare China Jet with F22, F35…. we overlook China just using 20 years to gain from zero to something.
4:00 - Ryan has officially lost it 🤣🤣 brilliant!
The dual engines is the reason why they need the larger vertical stabilizers basically it's an f-35 with two engines so they use the F-22 stabilizers
As a Chinese, I feel that the appearance of J35 is copied from F35. But it doesn't matter anymore. In the field of science and technology, China has always regarded the United States and Russia as teachers. Only by learning first can we recreate.
and less stealth..
Afterburner bloom is what I have heard other fighter pilots have called it. I remember on the history channel show dogfights in the episode about desert Storm. An F-15 pilot shot down a MIG-25 he called out on the radio and asked if any F-15s were in afterburner when he heard no one was in afterburner he shot the MIG down.
This fighter livery showed it's early version, engines were not powerful enough. The plane's pitot tubes indicated that the design has not yet been finalized. Comparing the bottom shape of F-35 and that of FC-31/J-35, the stealth of the F-35 is definitely worse than that of the J-35, not to mention the next-generation left-handed metamaterial full-spectrum stealth technology of the J-35, larger built-in missile bays, safety and stability of supersonic and supersonic cruise. Air-to-air missile PL-15 range compared with that of AIM-120D, etc.
No expert but that black smoke is a visual give away, here I am
I am so impressed with the J20, it actually got off the ground. Lol.
In engineering there is a phenomenon called "convergence of design". That is given a set of physical laws to solve an engineering problem all solutions converge to similarity. A simple example is bows an arrows. In primitive days there are no computers top hack and steal from nor much communications across oceans but similar bows an arrows are used from African tribes to Chinese and down to Australian continent.
In order to minimized the radar profile or reflection you have to physically shape your plane in a certain way. The shapes and positions of wings, alerons, canards, fusilage etc will have to be optimized and will converge to a similar shape. The real test is not the outside shape but the avionics inside the plane and the engines.
Or you can just steal and copy
The engines are the same engines from the Mig29 but Chinese engines are in development because it’s under powered with those

The problem with the F35 is that the airframe is too bulky, which increases the air resistance of the airframe, slows the flight speed, consumes a lot of fuel, and has a short range. J35 is a stealth carrier-based aircraft improved by Shenyang Aircraft Research Institute based on FC31. It currently uses self-developed engine WS13 (RD93 imitation), and the latest version uses WS19 engine. The maximum thrust is 11 tons, which is equivalent to developing the early model of WS10. . The J20 currently in service uses a WS10C engine with a thrust of 14 tons. The WS15 high-thrust engine was just installed in the first two weeks, with a maximum thrust of 18 tons. It is expected to be fully replaced with WS15 engines in 2024. The speed and maneuverability of the J35 is much better than that of the F35. As for which one is more advanced, the integrated avionics system or the weapon system, the current information is limited and it is unknown!
😂😂😂😂😂
@@Anderson-oq5pw China is different from India. When they say they will, then it will be realized
It's my understanding that the F-35A and F-35B (w/ lift fan) air frames are optimized for the STOVL function meaning it needs to have small wings to minimize catching air turbulence on the vertical landing part but that compromises lift and thus maneuverability. Sound correct?? The F-35A & F-35B looks like a "fat" jet with stubby wings to me. I know the F-35C (carrier variant) has larger wings than the A & B so it has greater maneuverability/lift and helps with launching in "beast mode" full of weapons/fuel. Please correct me if any of this is wrong. Although the F-35C looks better than the F-35A & F-35B with the bigger wings, it still kind of looks like a "fat" plane and I'm glad the DOD wouldn't let it be used for Top Gun-Maverick. The F/A-18 Super Hornets still looks more sleek. Overall the classified information about the F-35 will let us know if it was worth the $1.7 trillion to $2 trillion spent but it may take decades before we know. Is the less maneuverable BVR concept loaded with networked technology/weapons a good choice? Or should we have ditched the F-35 (or just limited production to F-35Bs for the Marines) to build more F-22s which everyone agrees is a winner?
Chinese engines are underpowered and unreliable, give them about 20 years and they may build a comparable airframe and engine from scratch…. Not very impressive and like most of their airframes very derivative.
@@chadleschasin2893 Fighter jets are not for beauty contests
The J35 was "rollin' coal".
Lol.
The J-31 looks much more like an F-22 than an F-35, especially the tail and twin engines.
I see that!
@@MaxAfterburnerusa11:00 They made room for their "internal" payload. As for braking and drogue chutes, this is the poor man's F 35. Now I have a question, Turkey was a founding member of the F 35 program, they were kicked out of it for acquiring the S 400. Yet Greece operates the F 35 and the S 300? Moreover, an ally yet not a founding member like Israel gets F 35s. How is this political hypocrisy justified? Moreover why is Congress throwing a hissy pissy fit on delivering the Turks their F 16s especially now given tensions in the black sea are boiling. Me personally we should be giving them F 15s not F 16s.
But F-22 is way bigger. F-22 is a heavy, air superiority jet. J-31 is a small, affordable export market jet.
May the best (American) pilot wins
That's the RD-93 Russian engine on the first black prototype. Its been said that the US fed flawed schematics etc. for it to be copied but J-35's shape and dimensions are not blindly exact copies of the F-35 on close examination.
I think the video of this J-35 is kind of old now, might be the first time most of us seeing it took off, my guess is that this is a working concept in action. The latest design of this plan looks somewhat different.
Can you react to the South Korean KAI KF 21 fighter next? It looks similar to F22.
Cool idea thanks! Will look into this
I See F35, F15 and even a bit of F22 in that design
Would be nice to see a KF-21 react video now that it has flown for the first time!
@@juhao356 I mean, Lockheed Martin provides technological support for it...
Boramae is a great fighter. The current external weapons configuration is actually quite useful and a good compromise. They get a low observable fighter with large firepower. The radar cross section will be primarily from the external stores at a level that makes high maintenance stealth coatings and gap fillers unnecessary. The internals were largely copied from the F-35 with permission and under tech transfer license. They get many of the benefits of the F-35 with much lower operating costs snd maintenance time. By sacrificing ultimate stealth they save time and money in development snd in operations. They still have access to actual F-35s when they really need deep stealth. This could eventually become their primary workhorse fighter, replacing F-16s and F-15s at some point during the 2030s even if they keep using external weapons.
It gives black smoke like the Mig-29 does, because the prototype there uses the RD-93 engines of the Mig-29.
You Imagine where the Chinese Military would be the rest of the world wasn't handling 100% their R & D?
Interesting thanks!
They have constructed their own f-35 and F-22 they've been around for a decade the only thing is that they could only replicate the shape of it. Other than that who knows what the internal hardware and software is.

Will the directed energy weapon on the BAE Tempest change basic fighter manouvers when you can blast an enemy with your laser from any angle?
That depends on how much power the energy will use considering how fighter planes on average has small combat radius and constantly needs to refuel/conserve energy. That and the fact that laser technology still hasn't improved that much since the 90's. Or else we would have already seen it being deployed for ground units already.
Now in this Internet era, there are still people who pay attention to weapon systems, is the AI gap between China and the United States only two years? Don't Americans know that China is only five years behind the United States in high-end hardware? Doesn't the United States know that China's weapons self-sufficiency rate is more than 90%? In the event of a war, China's production speed and war cost will be very low, and in the absence of a large weapons advantage, how long do you think the United States can hold out with NATO, so give up your so-called self-confidence, obediently return to the negotiating table, arrogance will always fail
I would say that particularly prototype borrows from both the F-35 and F-22. The prototypes have since changed from this one though. The wings and horizontal stabs now have a slightly different shape, as well as the vertical stabs. The vertical stabs now look similar to the F-35's, whereas the wings - more like the F-22. The cockpit has also slightly changed and opens forward like the F-35.
The pitot tube is only there for flight testing. The newer prototypes don't have it.

Could you please create a Vid about The Gun Pods on The F-35's B and C and how it affects its stealth capabilities, how big of a deal does it affect the RCS, and are the Gun Pods themselves stealthy!?👍
There will be some effect on the RCS; there's really no way around that when you increase the surface area. No reason _not_ to add low observable characteristics to the gun pod, but it looks like the doctrine at play will see the gun pods _not_ attached until air defenses have been dealt with. If so, then the stealth characteristics of the gun pods will be less important, especially if the jets are loaded up with external stores.
Gun pods would be used with other external stores, mostly for close air support during amphibious landings, after air defenses were degraded. The F-35 gun pod actually happens to be more accurate than the internal gun on the F-35A.
I worked in the industry and the amount of security around these and all new designs is crazy amount .. they have to have super tiny cameras nearby !
Take this as a compliment, I like your takes on the subject. Very educational and you also look similar to Jim Carrey.
I'm a Chinese military fan and wanted to see what overseas views on the J-35 were. Saw your video and found some fundamental errors.
The FC-31 (No 31001) is not the J-35. The J-35 did develop from the FC-31 but they are not the same. The FC31 prototype (No. 31001) shown in the video is already in the museum. The leaked prototype photo of the J35 is currently number is 350003. So your analysis can only be said to be for the FC-31, but not the J35.
It's like saying you're using the YF-16 test flight video to analyze the F-16E/F , you can't get to get the right analysis results
The differences between FC-31 and J35 will be more, FC-31 is based on land and J35 is for aircraft carrier. The design ideas are completely different.
As a fighter pilot you weren't able to spot these issues, it is very regrettable. This information is easily accessible on youtube and wikipedia.
别认真，哥们，看看就好，他们信息获取很有限，对中国的认知也很老旧
The most comparable aircraft to the J-35 is the F-35C since they both fit the profile of a medium sized aircraft with low observable technology and intended for carrier-borne operations. The J-35 is pretty much the successor to their interim J-15 flanker aircraft and there's relatively more opportunities for their navy to optimize the aircraft for carrier operations as opposed to their American counterparts ...
regarding size, I have a question, why is the F35 very small (for modern jet standards) considering that the US prioritize quick long strikes. To my knowledge, the F35 lacks the range that even the older f16 and eurofighter can reach (Correct me if I'm wrong on this one)
@@zebimicio5204 F-35 was mostly designed for the European conventional war theatre against Russia so having super long range isn't important when Moscow is well within reach of the F-35 and aerial refueling tankers from Eastern Europe hence the program name "Joint Strike Fighter". The F-16 or the Eurofighter can can only have a longer range if they are carrying external fuel tanks with a small weapons load out whilst the F-35 isn't ...
@@zebimicio5204 F-35 had to be small to allow for VTOL. The larger the jet, the heavier it is and the more thrust required to lift the aircraft. The original design, X-35 was designed to revolve around that VTOL capability even if the A and C variants don’t use it. It also allows it to be carried on the decks of smaller helicopter carriers and amphibious landing vehicles.
I guess we really do not know the true performance specifications of the J35 until they actually confirm through intelligence the actual parameters of performance. Otherwise it is like comparing apples to oranges.
@@herahbgad9061 You don't know anything about the F35.
The F35A is for land based airfields.
The F35B is for Marine Corp amphibious carrier. It replaced the AV-8 Harrier.
The F35C has a tail hook and stronger landing gear for Navy aircraft carriers.
The F35 is basically a Harrier, FA18 and stealth fighter in one plane.
The F35 helmet is the game changer.
i know zero , but the black smoke just screamed fong kong.. when you started the whole train thing.. i wasl ike WTF.. but we got there 😁.. and easy on the uppers okay.
How about comparing the YAK-141 "Freestyle and F-35B "Lightning II" and which one is older? What is the same technology they both have?
“It’s called a lance... hello.” 🤪🤓😂
On the issue of the F-35 forward hinged canopy. I talked to some Lockheed folks many years ago, and they pointed out a few benefits:
- stealth: tighter canopy sealing
- maintenance: ejection seat can be removed without removing entire canopy
- cost: simpler and lighter design
Yep, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery until it shoots back at you!
I'm not expecting much out of the j-35 to be honest. Besides, the only J-35 I like is the SAAB Draken :)
Hi thanks for watching!
@@MaxAfterburnerusa lol wassup
Thanks for watching
I like your outlook about others competing (copying) just pushes us to get better. Lets not worry about others emulating as that isn't the natural course of everything. Lets focus on innovation.
Great video, thanks for the analysis.
In 2016, Su Bin pled guilty of downloading the blueprints of the F-22 and F-35. I agree no need to be angry at the Chinese, but the intel services that allowed both of those in their entirety no less to be on one network deserve a LOT of anger.
Most say they aren't as stealthy -- I've seen numbers saying factors of 10 to 100 but not sure if that's without radar opacity items on the jet, but they are going back and forth with US on having leading edge in AA missiles now. Part of the blame goes to Russia for sharing their latest planes with China which China took and started making themselves despite agreements to the contrary, because OF COURSE THEY DID, DUH. Wouldn't surprise me if the J-35 is our F-35 blueprint but with the tail replaced with a Mig of Flanker engine setup they got from their Russian jets.
In that we are failing to properly wage economic war on a China that acts like they are fully at war with us, I'm at least glad to see the NGAD / stealth programs being pushed full throttle... though we wouldn't need that rush if our leaders would stop pumping money into the CCP's war machine. Also, the F-35 just got a huge engine upgrade (not in VSTOL yet but coming later) that increases top speed to on par with estimate for J-35 and increases range by 300+ miles, so some good news.
Wait so the dude manage to get the entire f35 and f22 blueprint back to china or he only got the f35 blueprint back.
@@Gyyghhhhjjjkk per the plea I believe both. He left a trojan on the network or something similar.
@@victortuber9116 sheesh does that mean china just basically caught up?
@@Gyyghhhhjjjkk gained too much, but they don't have same stealth, and we are on the NGAD now.
@@victortuber9116 I’m not worried about J20 because obviously that thing is no where near the capability of a f22. I’m worried about J31 with F35 because after reading some reports about the incident about Su Bin he stole literally the entire manual of f35 test flies. Although he admitted that he didn’t stole all of them I would say US is still on a healthy lead. Ofc US isn’t stupid enough to put all files in once so I would say the most sensitive info aren’t stolen like ram material coating on the jets. I’m Chinese as well but I’m disgusted by actions like this ngl.
I remember working for a computer company back in the middle 80s and we were trying to help the Chinese develop better technologies for their keyboards….. think about how many characters they have in their written language
And now Chinese keyboards are objectively better than English keyboards. The average WPM for Chinese keyboards is much higher than English.
Dual wheel nose landing gear could indicate that it could be used for carrier landing, cannot tell how beefy the mains are. Good point on the engines Ryan! I would bet that they are no where near as reliable as the engine on the F-35. Great analysis!!!
"See you up in that dogfight"!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love carrier takeoffs and landing videos. Share your experiences on that matter from early training exercise to on a pitching flight deck at night.
I love our veterans! God bless them all, and God bless the 🇺🇸!
May God bless democracy and freedom
This black-skinned fighter jet is not a fighter jet used by the Chinese Air Force. It is used for export trade. Due to insufficient funds, it only performed to seek investment from other countries. It used the Russian RD-93 engine and performed very poorly.
Hello everyone! thank you for checking out this video! Check out maxafterburner.co for a new merch drop!
I think you unintentionally communicated that you're a World of Warcraft player, with your exact replication of the /train emote. Good job, by the way.
Great vid, fair assessment. A lot of investment going on over in China and we should see them putting better and better stuff out there, which hopefully inspires us to keep getting better in kind.
Hardly, their entire chip investment has failed across the board in China.
Now with sanctions where are they going to get the chip hardware to mass.produce these.
An if they have to use older tech, then it won't be 5th gen.
Last time I checked sophisticated jets require new chips don't they?
@@anarex09290
@@anarex0929 お前の、知っておくべきことは、第5世代戦闘機に必要なチップは、最新の携帯電話ほど高度な製造プロセスを必要としないということだ。中国は国内の産業チェーンを利用して5～7ナノメートルの携帯電話用チップを量産できるようになり、その世界で性能と新型の最も強力な携帯電話用チップとの性能差はわずか2～3年だ。しかし、世界で最新かつ最も強力な携帯電話チップを生産するには、世界各国の産業チェーン間の協力が必要です。この場合、中国は第5世代戦闘機に必要なチップを生産できなくなるのだろうか？
@@anarex0929 do you mean the 5nm chips they now have?
airshows are like nascar races. people show up to see a crash
Lol just like The SU-75 J-35 is a cheap knock off of The F-35 precisely why we don't export The F-22 ;)
I notice when the f22 really dogs down and tries to quickly regain speed the flame from the rear goes from blue to red/orange.
With the reliability of Chinas jet engines I’d want 2 engines as well.
Alibaba purchase. No warranty no returns
Bro just said Mig-31 used F-4 intake design: SKULL
Putting Max's ego aside, this second chinese "stealth" aircraft looks more to be a smaller, less capable copy of the F-22 Raptor with some changes from the chinese hack of the F-35 plans. And as usual, it has to have twin engines because the chinese don't have a suitable engine with the same power as the one in the F-35 Lightning II.....and if definitely won't once the new dual stage turbofans are made available to it. They are still at least 10 years behind us in engine technology, possibly 20....
I’m kind of new to your channel and I don’t know if anybody else has said this, but you remind me of Mike Jones from garand thumb. You’re like his aerial twin.
Love this guy on top of the world maaas...😅
It’s using ws19 engines well, it’s supposed to, but it’s facing supply. Chain issues is likely is using an older model of engine to make up for it.
at 4:04 u did the "chugga chugga hugga chugga hugga chugga choo choo"...and i knew i had to like and subscribe
This is a very very old video, like from 2014. Its like 8-9 years old. For China, 8-9 years is an eternity. The engines are now completely different, no more black smoke.
The design of thr plane has also been changed and upgraded numerous times. Iirc, the j-31/fc-31 was originally designed to compete vs the J-20, but since the j-20'was selected, they have modified it for use on China's carriers instead.
But even that is just a guess. China might use stealth UAV instead for those kinds of risky, dangerous missions.
Its just hard not to like a guy like this, keep it up man.
Love watching F35s & F16 s come out of Luke AFB. When at the base in Anchorage we were waiting to take off after an F16 that was in front of us. This pilot was reving up his engine just sitting there trying to make a moose move a little faster off the tarmac so he could take off. That bull moose had NO intention of moving any faster that what he desired & so we sat there waiting.
