China to unveil J-35 stealth fighter jet
November 6, 2024 - China is set to officially debut its J-35 stealth fighter jet, giving observers the first look at a highly anticipated asset that adds to the country’s fast growing military capabilities.
The fighter, an image of which was released during an air force press conference Tuesday, will appear at an air show in the southern city of Zhuhai next week, officials said.
The development of the jet is widely seen as part of Beijing’s bid to match the United States’ stealth fighter capabilities – as it pushes to modernise its armed forces and assert its military might in Asia, CNN said.
