J-35

China has formally branded its carrier-based J-35 stealth fighter as “Blue Shark,” signaling that the aircraft is moving from development into early operational integration within its naval air arm. The move underscores Beijing’s push to field a stealth-capable carrier fighter that can extend air superiority and strike reach from its expanding fleet of aircraft carriers.

The hangars of China's J-35 and J-35A stealth fighter jets were publicly unveiled for the first time on Sunday, according to China Military Bugle, an official media account affiliated with the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) news media center.
