Yankeesama said J-35A uses WS-19.

New Chinese jets normally do not use new engines. It might be a risk related issue. Not really a new jet.

By the way, do you remember by post a few weeks ago, where I told you I have satellite images showing three J-31 (now J-35A) at SAC?? ;) Indeed. ;) Turns out those news are particularly true, at least. I called the J-35A designation. Now let's see if the other news are true. If so, that would...

My analysis is untouchable. Visually similar shock diamonds = engine stronk = WS-19.

feels a little cgi to me, the surface is very uniform, with no panel lines over the back, where I would expect to see lots of variation. Tough to say for sure though, the image resolution is very low.

I can't quite figure out what's going on with that canard though - perhaps pulled slightly out of its socket for the purposes of servicing? I can't match that angle precisely on my cg model but, as with the original photo, it nevertheless looks quite peculiar with the canards pitched at odd angles, so who knows? Perhaps it's a mockup of some sort?

Edit - the nose gear looks very off axis - i'm leaning towards AI on this one.
