China is fast-tracking the delivery of its J-35A fifth-generation stealth fighter jets to Pakistan. This is being presented as a "reward" for Pakistan's role in a recent military conflict with India. Some sources even suggest a 50% discount was offered, according to reports.
Shenyang J-35 (Chinese: 歼-35; pinyin: jiān-sānwǔ) is a series of Chinese single-seater, twin-engine, all-weather, stealth multirole combat aircraft manufactured by Shenyang Aircraft Corporation (SAC), designed for air superiority and surface strike missions. The aircraft reportedly has two variants, a land-based variant designed for the People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF), and a carrier-based variant optimized for catapult-assisted takeoff (CATOBAR) for the People's Liberation Army Naval Air Force (PLANAF).
